Kendra, a high school student, and her mother, a nurse, spend their Thursday nights watching a bachelor type show. The star of the show is Brad, a very good looking man who is in search of the perfect woman to spend the rest of his life with.
Misha, Kendra's friend, has tickets and fake ID's for them to get into the hottest party in town where producers and agents will be attending. And with both Misha and especially Kendra, wanting to be actresses, this is the perfect opportunity for them to meet some of the powers that be. The only problem is, the party is on a Thursday, and Kendra is already in trouble with her mother for sneaking out the house before. In addition, it's their TV watching night. With Kendra being in trouble with her mother, she will be unable to attend the party.
It's now Thursday. Kendra and her mother are watching their show when they get into an argument. The argument sends Kenda dashing to her room where she texts Misha to say she wants to go to the party. Misha said she'll pick Kendra up in 30 minutes.
Misha and Kendra arrive at the party with fake ID's in hand and hit the bar immediately to order a dirty martini. I'm not sure who thought a dirty martini would scream classy when writing the script, but it screamed desperation. Moving on.
Misha goes to talk to a producer, leaving Kendra at the bar alone, but not for long. Soon Brad, from her favorite reality show, shows up and she doesn't know what to do with herself. While they are talking Brad's manager gets him to mingle with some people she feels will help his career. When he leaves, Kendra is feeling guilty about sneaking out the house and wants to go home, but she can't find Misha. It's during her search that Brad catches up to her and they begin talking again. It's not long afterward that Brad offers to take her home. What Brad doesn't know is that Kendra is really a 17-year-old high school student.
Brad and Kendra go on their first date and his true colors start coming out. Being the cautious person she is, Kendra takes note and keeps it filed in the back of her head. After dinner, Brad takes Kendra backs to his place where he begins to come on strong to her. The more she asks him to stop the more he doesn't stop. Kendra is finally able to break free and leave but not before she blurts out she's really 17. Her age doesn't seem to faze Brad and he comes to her even stronger. Kendra is finally able to break free and leave and this is the beginning of the stalking by Brad.
I really enjoyed this movie. This was the second good Lifetime Movie Network movie I saw on Saturday. The first being Her Dark Past, which I will do a review on. The acting by both Emily Bader as Kendra and Robert Scott Wilson as Brad were very believable. Asia Jackson as Misha annoyed me a little and as did Zach played by Jordan Doww. With latter two mentioned aside, the movie was well put together. Wilson's portrayal of someone not playing with a full desk was scary. He had some menacing looks that were believable and definitely didn't seemed forced. I hope to see this guy in more movies in these type of roles. I feel the same way about Bader. I hope to see her in more Lifetime movies, for just as with Ashley Scott, Jason-Shane Scott, and Dina Meyer (to name a few), she would be the reason I watch the movie.
Here's something I noticed. As mentioned, Kendra and her mother watched a bachelor type reality show on Thursday nights. On LifetimeTV (a kin to Lifetime Movie Network) there's a show called UnREAL which is a drama about what goes on behind the scenes of these bachelor reality shows. One of the main characters in the show is Rachel, played by Shiri Appleby. What I found odd is Bader (Kendra) looks a lot like Appleby (Rachel from UnREAL).
