This movie is cliched with standard elements of this type of film. But, if you can look past these well worn aspects, the film is a fairly decent descent into troubled childhoods, the effects of poverty, and the difficulties inherent with families in these situations. The ending is both a bit heavy handed and at the same time needed for the sense of hope that is presented by the main character in this film. (Bella Thorne does a decent job most of the time.) Some are going to find this subpar, but I feel that I was able to overcome the faults of the script to enjoy what was on display here.
