Funny note: pay attention to the fraternity "Luau" party. I am a parent now, and I would not be scared if my daughter was napping while she was away at college. I'm sorry, but is that really THAT crazy? Aren't college students allowed to nap? I remember taking many naps after cramming in the library (and being out late as well). Also, her Mother becomes suspicious when she calls her daughter at 2:30 in the afternoon and her daughter is taking a nap. Never SEEING people drink is very unrealistic. Personally, I didn't drink until my 24th birthday, but I DID witness plenty of it in high school and college. I don't know who makes it to college without witnessing some underage drinking. The first thing that jumped out at me, was how our main character is *startled* when SEEING a bottle of champagne. As expected, there are a lot of unrealistic scenes. However, if you enjoy those type of movies (like I do), you will most likely enjoy this flick as well.
#Drunk or dead ridiculousness movie
You know that this is a cheesy movie with a "made for TV" feel. The movie title and the fact that this is a Lifetime movie, gives you the basics. The same thing that could be said about, 'Tell Your Children', could also be said about this movie, and that is."It is not so much a movie, but rather a preacher, preaching about that which they do not know.". Let me just say that this stinker really isn't much better. 'Tell Your Children' may just be the worst film ever made. This film reminds me a good bit of the infamous old trash film, 'Tell Your Children (Reefer Madness)' because of its lack of real knowledge of the issue it presents, and also because it is driven 100% by paranoia. Avoid this movie at all costs, unless you just want to laugh at something really fake and stupid. Then watch 'Prozac Nation' or even 'Sid & Nancy', or something like that. If you want to watch a quality film about young people with substance abuse issues, that is actually somewhere close to the authentic thing. Therefore the films situations have nothing thoughtful to offer to this issue, and that is the biggest reason why this movie stinks so badly.
The characters are all stereotypical cartoons with no depth. God help you! Definitely there are some things that happen in this film that do happen in reality, however they are just not done in a way that is authentic to real human beings.
Well perhaps if you are a fairly naive person, with little experience around this real problem, you may then buy into the stupidity of this movie and develop prejudices and paranoia about the reality of its subject. The most you will get out of it is a few laughs because of its sheer ridiculousness. It really has nothing genuine to offer to the viewer at all. However this film really has nothing enlightening to share about the problems of youth substance abuse. I went to college, I've lived in a college housing area, I've seen the real thing over and over again. I realize that there are many real problems that revolve around young people abusing many different kinds of substances. It is exactly what a 120 minute commercial against abusive college drinking would be like, made by people who have no experience in the subject at all other than their own paranoia. Honestly, the stupidity never stops in this pathetic excuse for a movie until the credits stop rolling. Bad directing, bad writing, bad acting, bad characters, bad music.
