I liked most of the characters in this movie. Melinda and her parents start off as distant, but then I realized that both her mum and dad were pretty cool. So was Melinda, but I guess they all three just needed to figure some things out. Especially Melinda, because she has a big secret. It tears away at her.
I also liked Melinda's friends. Both her x-friends from last school year and her new ones. Although Rachel comes off as a little bitchy at first. The one person I didn't like was Andy. But he is the bad guy, so that's the way it should be. Oh, Mr. Neck is a bit over the top as the teacher who breathes down their necks when they are two minutes late or if they have opinions of their own.
I am a teacher, and maybe I could appreciate easier some of the stereotyped characters at the school. Anyways, although this is a movie with a serious theme, it all goes well, and all I can say is it left me with a good feeling.
