It's getting a rather bland reaction from critics, it's SWF version 2.0 full choc of CW stars. Aimed squarely at the CW demographic, namely young girls....but, it's already made it's budget back.

It's basically a cliched chick flik with pretty people and not much going on, but Meester is getting the most credit on the acting side of things.

S.M.B.

Really? Doesn't strike me as being a chick flick at all? Just Single White Female for a new generation.

Wasn't expecting it to being anyway good and the trailer makes it look poor.

Meester and Kelly need more exposure. This will do for now I guess.

$15.6 million opening weekend in the US and it is top of the box office

Looks pretty crappy but I'll probably watch it because it's got Leighton Meester

Seen this tonight.

It's crap, brilliant, woeful, class and rubbish.

It starts off useless, then picks up and you feel like you could be in for a classic, then become dire - painful dialogue, characters that are not fleshed out - and then all of a sudden it's superb and the characters are amazing and the tension of the plot has you gripped - and then it's tripe - but wait, there's some good bits towards the end you will love, but it gets real bad after that though - but not for too long as there is one more good scene before it ends.

Overall, just below average but if you have nothing better to do - worth a watch. Perfect date movie to see tucked up in the back row as you have a laugh at the good parts and just fondle each other and share popcorn during the bad bits, there are quite a few.

I'll be checking this one out later, it's STUFFED full of hotties and i like Blair, um....i mean Leighton.

Just finished watching this.....terrible film , cliched characters and dialogue....every scene is telegraphed to death, the creepy violins start and then a psycho looking Blair Waldorf...i mean Leighton Meester creeping about

It's a CW hottie parade, you've got actors from nearly every CW show incl. The Vampire Diaries, One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, Hellcats....Nina Dobrev might not have been in the movie her part is sooo small, probably half a days shooting.

The only good thing about this movie is Leighton, tbh...it's reason enough to watch, i'm not saying her acting is award winning, but she plays the unhinged psycho roommate very well imo.

There was absolutely nothing original about it, SWF 2,0 for the CW female demo, the end fight was pretty good though....but utterly predicatble.

It's firmly a date movie for tortured boyfriends to sit through, but it's stuffed full of hotties so that might offset the chore of sitting through 90 mins.

Poor kittie.....

2/5
