What I liked:
- It was filmed in Cleveland! The story takes place in the city as well so there are some nice shots of the suburbs, the Metro Parks, and downtown.
- Victoria Justice plays a smart and caring teenage girl.
- It also stars Thomas Mann, Chelsea Handler, Thomas Middleditch, Kerri Kenney, Ana Gasteyer, Abbey Elliott, Riki Lindhome, and Johnny Knoxville.
- Jackson Nicoll does well as Albert.
- There are a few funny lines.
What I didn't like:
- Did they have to make fun of Cleveland in the first five minutes? Clevelanders don't still think of themselves as the mistake on the lake.
- Who is the target audience for this? It's too adult for little kids and too lame for older ones.
- Unnecessary use of profanity and sexual innuendos for a Nickelodeon movie.
- Apparently the message of "don't go anywhere with a stranger" was lost on the writers.
- Not enough of Abbey Elliott or Riki Lindhome.
- It's a weak script.
Grade: C
