Goofs:

Continuity: When the girls walk into one of the meetings, (the one where they are in their pajamas/formal dress) Jaden has her hair like Tanzie did the previous day. The camera is looking at Jaden from the behind, and you see her reach up to change her hair. The camera angle then switches back to Jaden's front, and her hand is back on the water jug. She reaches up again, and takes out the clip in her hair.

Quotes:

Tanzie Marchetta: [from trailer] I need to go to the office more often.

Nice Idea - Poor Outcome

OK I admit that when I saw the trailer for this, the movie look fresh with a new funny idea. When I came on here to see how well it rated, I was horrified that it had only 2 stars.

After seeing the movie I understood why.

The movie right from the beginning does little to capture your interest. If you think Hilary Duff can pull off a different character for a different film, you're wrong. She is still playing the similar character who falls for the guy you can pick out right at the beginning. Her sister however does an okay job for her role, she is a tiny bit interesting... and I mean tiny.

I truly attempted to give this movie ago, but after fifty minutes of endless torture, enough was enough. I walked off and left my Mum to watch this one on her own. I told her to tell me what happened in the end.

I guessed the ending correct anyway.

So basically my opinion is don't waste your time.
