Viewing Notes

Here for the Zoey! She’s great in this teenage angst fueled dysfunctional family drama. Overall the story is good if not quite believable as her character relates to her new potential outcast brother. There’s a copout at the end that removes some of the weight of the situation but otherwise a fine film and a good role for Zoey to stretch her abilities.
