The book is almost a a creepy nightmare and this movie is a pink soap opera. There's a lot of elements that are missing here, first of all Audrina hair color , eyes color, her cousins hair color, Audrina has a little sister in this movie there's no sister. And there's lots of facts that are missing as well.
... View MoreAudrina Adare (Farryn VanHumbeck) lived in isolation with with her father Damian (James Tupper), mother Lucietta, aunt Ellsbeth and cousin Vera (Kacey Rohl) in a mansion. She lived in the shadow of her dead sister namesake. She is confused with time and lost memories. Vera constantly taunts her. Her father pushes a connection with the original Audrina. Arden Lowe is a local boy in love with Audrina. Lucietta dies in childbirth and baby Sylvia is autistic. Years later, Audrina (India Eisley) takes piano lessons from Lamar Rensdale while Vera (Tess Atkins) flirts.This starts off like a moody horror movie. In the end, it's only a spooky mystery. Kacey Rohl should have stayed as Vera. The change in Audrina actresses is acceptable and Arden is inevitable. Rohl could easily play all the different ages. India Eisley has the innocent fragility and beauty for the part. Her speaking voice does mumble her lines sometimes which isn't the greatest for a lead. The middle is a lot of slow rambling sexual melodrama. It's somewhat aimless. It needs a direction and the simplest is Audrina researching her namesake predecessor. By the end, the reveal doesn't satisfy as much as releases the movie from its expectations.
... View MoreI stumbled across this film while watching TV a few weeks ago. The film, "My Sweet Audrina" is based on a novel by Virginia C. Andrews. I watched the movie because I thought India Eisley was a good actress and liked her from a few other projects she was in.The story, (although confusing, and I'll try to explain it as best as I can from what I understood of it) tells the story of a girl named Audrina who, (from what was said in the beginning) is the second Audrina who had a sister before her also named Audrina who died from an accident in the woods (I will not say what, you have to watch the film sorry). The second Audrina wants to be perfect like the first and was isolated from the world, and has a step-sister/second cousin named Vera. Audrina's mother died during child birth to Audrina's sister. (I could be wrong on this so forgive me if I am). Anyways, there are three Audrina's (played by three different actresses in the story, one for three different stages of her life), and one day she falls in love with a boy named Arden.The story is interesting and kind of confusing but is well written and keep your attention span going for 88 minutes.The acting is very well dome from India Eisley, James Tupper and Tess Atkins. I recommend this movie to see once but not much else. I won't spoil any more of the film so just watch it yourself.I give My Sweet Audrina a 6/10
... View MoreAtmospheric and nicely filmed, this adaptation of VC Andrews non Flowers series novel is worth a watch for fans of her books. W young girl is home schooled and kept confined in her family's mansion - but what secret is the family hiding about her deceased sister? The faults of a typical VC Andrews story are there - one dimensionally evil people, rather abrupt shifts in plot direction, but it's still good fun. The implausibility of the plot doesn't matter - after all it is a fantasy of sorts.The cast is watchable. As Audrina India Eisley's acting has improved a lot from Secret Life days and she makes quite a lot of this far fetched tale believable. Her love interest is played by the Royals' William Mosely looks a bit old for her and his British accent comes across. James Tupper of Revenge is okay enough as the father.The love scene is kind of laughable as she transforms suddenly from frigid to the opposite.For fans
