Warning to American audiences -- this is not a real movie.
Meaning, "Turn Me On, Dammit!" is like a very good student film. But it falls woefully short of American moviemaking standards: the dialogue is dull, the plotting dull, extras stand around in meaningless clumps in larger scenes, so the directing is dull -- this is just minor-league in all cinematic senses.
It begins as though it will be a porno film; then that abates and it is just a routine teenage girl against her non-understanding mom, teenage girl against her boorish classmates, teenage girl against yada yada yada. Fortunately the actress is pretty when she does anything other than pouts. Her prettiness makes the whole thesis of her character unlikely, though, so the storyline never jells either.
Skip this one. --mw
