Title: I wanted to like this movie
Review: This entirely predictable movie simply strings together one tired cliche after another. Ellen Burstyn's performance is excellent, but I had a difficult time believing Hilary Duff was a teenager, let alone a depressed, suicidal teenager. The animated diary sequences held my interest, but the rest of the movie bored me. If you're a Hilary Duff fan, you might enjoy this film, although her limitations as an actress become appalling apparent when you see her side by side with Ellen Burstyn and Melissa Leo.
