Ever since I heard there was a remake, I was pretty excited! Unfortunately, my tv provider doesn't have Lifetime but I was able to watch it online a 2 weeks after it was released. I love that there's more color in this movie, unlike the '94 version. I also realized (a couple of months after watching the movie for the first time) that the shy girl is dark haired and the popular girl is blonde...typical high school story stereotype, but I think Lifetime did it to make the story more dramatic. Next thing I noticed is that the scenes don't last that long...they only last like 2-4 minutes. Anyway, something I should point out for any male viewer (like moi) is that more females appear than males. The only males that appear are the police cop investigating the murder, the principal at the high school, the popular girl's dad and the father at the catholic church. The unpopular girl's dad is mentioned throughout the movie but is never seen. But remember, this is Lifetime, which according to Wikipedia, it has women in LEAD ROLES. Anyway, the movie is awesome! Love it! P.S: Colina and Colina County are both a fictional town and fictional county in California, they don't exist at all.
