Ok, all in all it was pretty typical entertainment. I was kind of along for the ride all the way, it was cool to watch poor person become rich, etc. Kind of like 21, etc. Always whenever the poor person goes and gets rich he gets busted lol.Acting was like... well it was kids, so you know.Honestly I would recommend this if you're bored, looking for something to watch. It's intriguing, and kept my attention all the way through.The only thing that killed me was the ending. It was incredibly typical. After-school special. I couldn't handle it lol. Like, beyond "Drugs are bad, mmkay" ending.Basically when the show looks like it's over, just go ahead and turn it off lol. Nothing special. Well, sort of. Actually there's one interesting part in there.I liked it because it reminded me of a friend that used to get caught up in stuff like that. Lol. He actually got off the hook though! lolWas busted and ended up with a mistrial because the car had been searched after detention lasted much longer than it should.

Movies based on a true story are always more interesting then the odd fictional movie. In The Preppie Connection it's all about a simple guy, Toby (played by Thomas Mann), that tries to fit in with the other high class students. He's secretly in love with Alex (played by Lucy Fry) and tries to impress her and her entourage by scoring weed, then cocaine, and later by smuggling the white powder from Columbia. It's an interesting and entertaining movie. The cast is well chosen and the storyline is very easy to follow. It shows what some people would do to impress others or to fit in, and it shows how cocaine can destruct a lot of lives. Certainly worth a watch.

This film is the real deal. Anyone who hasn't seen this film rush to the nearest theater that has it available or rent it through here. Unfortunately I had to discover this top notch indie through Itunes rather than on the big screen. Joseph Castelo directs in the most thrilling and personal way ever. He has the ability to not shy away from how close or far the camera has to be from the actors allowing for a greater emotion to be build around the scene based on how each character thinks acts and reacts towards a problem. This film is based on true events which makes it the more shocking as the plot unfolds. Castelo's camera work helps the viewer engage with the story while shocking us with the facts in a perfectly paced film. Thomas Mann once again proves that he is a one of a kind actor. He has the ability to be multifaceted. From roles like Project X and now evolve even more in this film it shows how capable he can be into doing almost anything. This film is his finest yet. Talking about finest, Lucy Fry is another talent that shocks whenever she is on screen. Her performance is nothing short of wonderful. Each line she has is conveyed in such a natural way that it seems as if she'd improvise. Not only that but through her performance she as an actress fades away and suddenly you believe her to be this character. Her acting not only increases the importance of the film, she also goes neck and neck against Thomas Mann's performance and that truly proves that she has the acting chops to be a lead role in whatever situation that she is put in. Jessica Rothe, Logan Huffman & Robert Gorrie demonstrate that they have enough character arcs in order to turn the table and thrill the audience with their wonderful portrayals. Not only is there synergism between them, but they know enough about how their characters would feel according to a situation that they are able to convey it with pure body expressions rather than depending solely on the dialogue. These three actors/actress are ones that people should keep an eye out for because they are the real deal and I wouldn't be surprised if in the next couple of years they get a huge lead role on a tent-pole film. Not only is the story for it being based on true events a unique and different one, its also a perfectly executed one. Props to Joseph Castelo and Ashley Rudden for conveying a truly important and underrated event in the best way possible. Its also surprising that for a film based on the 80's the cinematography aids the film into becoming a timeless work of art for which Brett Jutkiewicz should be praised for. Finally and most importantly there can be no 80's film without music that conveys that decade and not only does Sam Bisbee achieve that but he actually goes a step further into making it a modern take allowing the viewer to feel as if they are in the 80's while also imagining as if the film's events are actually from this present decade and thats a testament of how much talent there is in front and behind the camera in order for the composer to bring something old in a fresh, vibrate and electrifying new way. From the acting, camera work, cinematography to the wonderful soundtrack this film is one to praise. If you have seen the trailer then you may have high hopes for the film and I can truly say that you won't be disappointed as it exceeds them by 100%.

rotten tomato is stupid. lately movies that are 0% and garbage are rated in the 80's/90's over there and winning Oscars for political correctness. i guess in this safe space day and age a good old fashioned story of how awesome the 80's was and the innocence the decade shared in relation to drugs and especially coke is lost on many. the soundtrack was amazing. only reason I'm here really...i figured someone had the track list for Pete's sake.great movie. travesty rotten gave it poor reviews. i may have bypassed it.8/10rotten tomato is stupid. lately movies that are 0% and garbage are rated in the 80's/90's over there and winning Oscars for political correctness. i guess in this safe space day and age a good old fashioned story of how awesome the 80's was and the innocence the decade shared in relation to drugs and especially coke is lost on many. the soundtrack was amazing. only reason I'm here really...i figured someone had the track list for Pete's sake.great movie. travesty rotten gave it poor reviews. i may have bypassed it.8/10
