Directed by Joseph Kahn. Written by Kahn and Mark Palermo. Starring Josh Hutcherson, Shanley Caswell, Spencer Locke, A.D. Johnson, Walter Perez, Erica Shaffer and Dane Cook.
Plot: a group of kids band together to survive a killer during detention.
Clapton (Hutcherson) is failing his senior year of high school and hooking up with Ione (Locke), the popular girl. Her ex wants to beat him up because of it. Riley (Caswell) is having a hard life, too, and then someone tries to kill her, but no believes her about it. Then the bully ex gets killed and the principal (Cook) thinks a student did it, so they all get detention. It sounds stupid and it is.
Cinderhella – the movie within the movie – is the mask that the killer works. And Riley likes Clapton and used to be best friends with Ione. It’s all just really weird. There’s these 90’s references that don’t make sense – like Angela Chase would NEVER wear that fucking outfit. I take high offence to that since I love her character so much. And the editing is also ridiculous. It whips right from one scene to another and makes no sense. And there’s time travel. What? It’s too over-the-top.
It’s all a shame really because the cast is decent and the soundtrack is fantastic. I even liked the ending, but the movie itself is a mess. We don’t recommend.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
