Why watch this film?

Starring singer and actress Bella Thorne ('Duff: You Know, Have or Are') and Patrick Schwarzenegger ('How to Survive a Zombie Attack'), this is a teen romance drama made to measure for the love-hungry girls. The big criticism here is that the movie portrays a wrong and idealized version of a real disease called xeroderma pigmentosa, which may cause misunderstanding. But if you disregard that and the simplistic script, you'll find an interesting performance by Bella Thorne as a girl who's finally discovering what it's like to live.
