A excellent film for a budding TV man. The fact of Delta Goodrum and Saskia Burmeister (both over 20 years of age) can play out he roles of 14 year old's is an astonishing work of art thanks to the make-up artists. An excellent storyline that followed the novel it was based on. Most movies these days follow another plot and don't contribute to the base of the storyline. Hating Alison Ashley also has an excellent plot. Meaning, a student treasure by a teacher is soon replaced by a more beautiful and noble character. With a perfect place at a school camp Erica Yurkin (Saskia Burmeister)can show up Alison Ashley (Delta Goodrum). Children of all ages should enjoy this film. To like this film you have to concentrate on the plot, not the female impact. I regard this film as an excellent director's work of art. A film that is plotted through a based on children's novel the people have enjoyed from Robin Klein's collection for many years

I saw Hating Alison Ashley twice in cinemas, the first time because my sister loves Delta Goodrem, the second because I actually really liked it.Personally, I thought Delta's acting was a bit wooden, and the whole cast looked several years over fourteen, however Saskia Burmeister brought the role of Erika Yurken to life.The book on which the film is based is set while the characters are in grade six, so the film tackles the situation a little differently, turning the class bully, Barry Hollis (played EXCELLENTLY by Alex Cappelli) into a bit of a love interest, however the rest of the story stays pretty true to the book, adding in a bit of slapstick humour here and there.Overall, the film is definitely worth seeing, even if you're not a Delta fan (trust me, I really can't stand her, but I still really enjoyed this movie).

i watched Delta Goodrem in neighbours as Nina Tucker and thought she was so talented but was gutted when she left. my heart rose when she brought out innocent eyes and i thought it was brilliant then i got mistaken identity and also loved that. i heard about Hating Alison Ashley and decided to go and buy it because it didn't get released as a movie or DVD in the UK so i bought it on e-bay and it is one of the only films i will watch because it is superb both Delta and Samantha were brilliant and credit goes to all of the cast/crew for making this film.i believe that Delta Goodrem is probably the most beautiful woman in the world and i have got everything she has brought out e.g. albums singles photos calenders films DVDs

I thought hating Alison Ashley was anything but the book. I liked the movie, but a few people in it annoyed me one was Saskia Burmeister(Erica Yurkin)I found her to over act and a boor. I am not a very big fan of Delta Goodrem either, but in this I found her great. She Dian't over act and applied the right note of anger and sadness in some scenes. Another person who I thought was great was Alexander Cappelli, he applied the right amount of acting for his part of being the mean but sometimes thanked bully. A bit of mystery was applied in his part I thought. But I must say I thought everyone was very old to be playing 14 year old grade 9's., in the book they were a grade six class. But they were very old to playing grape 9's anyway with Alexander Cappelli having stubble in some of the scenes. And I have a brother and neither him nor any of his friends had stubble around this age. But over all I thought it was great and if you have not seen it. See it and if you have see it again!
