Powerful, Arousing, and Cries Out What IF?
5 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was entertaining and at times, arousing. The characters are well-written and develop on their own as the movie progresses. Certain scenes make a lasting impression in one's mind, especially when one of the teens experiences what can only be described as borderline rape when she suddenly pauses and cries out twice for her mom. This, to me, was one of the most powerful scenes in the movie.

The only issue I have with this movie was the pairing up of John Leguizamo and Cynthia Nixon as a married couple. Individually, they play their parts quite well, however, they do not have much on-screen chemistry. And maybe I grew up in a different time, however, some of the teens' actions seem unbelievable. There perhaps should have been more contemplation or hesitation, even for a teen. Especially when some of these older men are not attractive, at all. Yet, this movie certainly and successfully does make one think, what if?

I would recommend watching this movie, definitely worth your time.
