Hodnotenia a recenzie

Anyone trying to read more into this movie than what it was, is being intellectually dishonest. The plot was silly and aimless, there were moments that were painfully funny when they were not meant to be. I couldn't tell which sister was the oldest or more mature because they both switched between whiny cry babies and mature young women. The writer is not very good. *****SPOILER - DO NOT READ AHEAD**** The unbelievable sappiness over a chocolate ball found in a hidden Easter egg...the unbelievable part where one of them is dancing, drunk, kissing her boyfriend falls down with scratches all over her face and her dad just sits in the truck? Then he just looks at the other daughter and smiles like 'my daughter's a drunk fool slobbering all over a strange guy, but what can you do?". Seriously??? And the cherry on top - a very nice home has its roof just fall in and into shambles in 8 months? From rain? What? No, I saved the best for last...let's go live in a giant tree in the forest! yay! Oh my God this was ridiculous.

Performances are well delivered well, but are muddled by a rather anticlimactic conclusion. Beautiful landscapes are not enough to hide the rather dull plot. I would skip on this one, even if your a huge Ellen Page fan.

interestingly Juno isn't the one who carries the baby to term. not believable that a dancer couldn't defend herself from a half starved rapist while little peanut sister gathers berries in the woods. if Nell were raped instead of Eva that would've been more realistic. but we can't have two movies with a pregnant Ellen Page, so Evelyn Rachael Wood has to do it. Eva had an axe and those high kicking dance skills. in real life she would've destroyed that rapist piece of shit.
