Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

clown-16148 Great true story topic. A cast with experience but you'd never know it watching this...reminds me of a high school project. This could possibly ruin these girls careers. Just horrible from start to finish.... can't believe it...poor directing I don't know...a good actor/tress should still be good with poor direction. Sad to see coverage of this story so bad. Waste of time.

hemichic10 Excellent acting. The Mother played one of the best drunks/druggies that I've seen. I thought the acting by everyone was impressive for Lifetime. Sad, true story. I can not ever imagine doing anything harmful to my Mother even if she was a drunk and had no idea how to hold a family together and if she couldn't hold down a job. Bringing losers around would be a big problem, but still. We watch hundreds of movies in a few months times. I read a great deal of reviews and also contribute to them. I know a lot of people read the reviews and only purchase rent or buy movies based on the ratings. I am very surprised that this Lifetime movie was not rated much higher. Probably one of the better Lifetime shows

raynaking0 I had such high hopes for this movie. I love Abigail Breslin so I figured this movie would be good. It was definitely NOT good but it wasn't necessarily the worst movie ever. The acting wasn't very good at all. So overly dramatic. Im not sure if it was the actress though since she is actually very talented. Maybe a bad director? The other actress was just plain bad. I don't even remember her name. I believe she was the little girl from Narnia but I'm not sure. I really liked the plot I just couldn't get pass the horrible acting. I'm giving this movie 4 stars because even though the acting was awful (except for the actress who played the mother she was excellent!) I really liked the storyline. The movie didn't feel dragged out or rushed. It was put together nicely. It's worth at least one watch. Don't think I'll ever watch it again.

jtindahouse Where do I begin with this mess? I read in the trivia section that halfway through filming they changed this from a TV movie into a theatrical release. I can't imagine why. Even for a TV movie it would have to be considered pretty average. First of all the narration by Abigail Breslin's character is incredibly annoying and adds nothing to the atmosphere or story. All of her lines are clichéd nonsense. The acting by every cast member is very bad and makes it very difficult to do anything other than cringe every time they try and show some emotion. The complete lack of chemistry between the sisters is off putting and also makes it hard to buy into the whole thing.The script is equally bad. It jumps all over the place from scenes you'd expect to see in 'Gilmore Girls' through to some very heavy scenes (which are handled very badly). There is no flow between the two, they simply jump from one extreme to the next. Nothing makes sense, the girls are supposedly very smart with excellent grades and have learnt four languages (one of which they created themselves) and yet throughout the movie they do some of the most incredibly stupid things you could possibly imagine. It's very common knowledge that Peter Jackson's 'Heavenly Creatures' set the standard for this type of film back in 1994. His film was brilliantly crafted with an exquisite atmosphere and a script that flowed wonderfully. Now here we are 20 years later with 'Perfect Sisters' and you're telling me we've gone this far backwards? Very disappointing.
