Format:DVD
Hilary Duff (rather like Miley Cyrus) is currently bursting at the seams to break away from her Disney kiddy-flick image and show the world she can play dark and sexy.
I wouldn't term this 2008 movie dark and sexy per se, but it does give Hilary a good platform to work with adult material. She plays a complex character, torn by angst and suicidal thoughts and overall she delivers a great performance.
The story: Duff plays a young girl, Greta, who reluctantly arrives in a small New Jersey town to spend the holidays with her grand parents. She is angry and has a delightfully bad and cynical attittude played well by Duff, who is always pleasant on the eye. Paradoxically, her grandparents show her that there's a lot to live for. Oh and, there's a holiday romance too, with the charismatic short order chef Julie (a guy by the way), who shows Greta a little tough love.
This film is no blockbuster epic, but it's intelligent, well-directed and thoroughly watchable.

i am actually a hilary duff fan , and i like all type of movies. her image in this is actually what i liked, the whole troubles, bad girl thing. but the film is terrible! it starts off with potential but the last 20 mins are just a waste of time . the film doesnt even conclude properly , romance wise or family drama wise. it didnt finish properly in my opinion. and i should have just watched it online , or rented it .

Don't waste your money
I normally like these types of movies, but this was downright dull. It appeared to have potential in the beginning, but the story really dragged and the ending didn't resolve... Read more

A great summer-movie.
Hilary Duff really shines in this movie! I've been a huge fan of her for years and I was thrilled when she said she wanted to do more adult roles. Read more

Not as good as expected
An OK film, with a relevant message that we all need to work together to get along/co-exist. It left me a bit flat but perhaps a highly relevant film to teenagers who really need... Read more
