According to Greta

According to Greta
PG-13

This movie stars yet another Disney hatched actress, Hilary Duff.

A young suicidal and rebellious teen gets sent to her Grandparents for the summer where life takes an unexpected turn. Hilary Duff plays the title role of Greta, a waitress, who falls for an cook at the restaurant where they work. She's always threatening suicide, doesn't listen to what her grandparents tell and just pretty much does what she wants.

I had actually saved this movie to my Netflix queue a while back, thinking it had the potential to be really good and I was really looking forward to what I hoped would be Hilary Duff's breakthrough performance. I am so glad that I don't have to pay for my rentals at work, because I would have been fairly upset had I paid $4.00 and change for this movie.

I felt it was a typical, coming of age type of teen movie. Rebellious teenager gets sent away. Rebellious teenager keeps acting out. Rebellious teenager gets a second chance. Rebellious teenager becomes not quite so rebellious. Happily ever after. It was predictable and I thought the acting was seriously lacking.

Now, I've seen several of Hilary Duff's movies. Most of the were cute and she usually sang in them. But during the whole movie, as I listened to her talking , all I could think of was little Lizzie McGuire...Duff's voice hasn't changed at all since she was a kid, and I found that rather annoying. Her character is always talking about ways to kill herself and I just don't enjoy the whole acting out, teenage thing.

Everyone who rented it this week or has asked about during the last couple of weeks has been teenage girls. Those who saw it say it's awesome and they just love Hilary Duff. So that right there should explain what type of movie you would be renting.

I personally, don't think this movie is worth the rental.
