Review of Keith

Keith (I) (2008)
7/10
Good Chemistry
24 May 2012
Pop bubblegum singer Jesse McCartney did a real fine piece of acting in this film Keith where he plays the starring role. I also saw him do well in a Law And Order Special Victims role where he played an adolescent with issues. But none like McCartney has in this film.

The campus queen played by Elizabeth Harnois seems to have a life of endless possibilities even if she's controlled a little too tight by parents Michael O'Keefe and Jennifer Grey. She's got a double scholarship for grades and tennis to Duke University which was her father's dream that he never realized. She's also got the high school hunk Ignacio Serrichio. Who could want more.

A rather strange but quirky kid Keith insinuates himself in her life and she's got all kinds of doubts. But for the time they have left in high school he becomes her lab partner in chemistry.

Strange as it seems chemistry brings out the chemistry. But like many a Love Story it ends for reasons no one can prevent.

McCartney and Harnois work fine together as a most unlikely couple. Keith is one of the better teen dramas out there.
