Girl in Progress - Fast erwachsen

Mother is a real monster, but in an American movie, anything can happen. That means anyone can change as much as they want. Terrible movie, I didn't believe its release date. I thought it was some old piece, although it's true that Eva Mendes isn't that old. Is this supposed to be a comedy? So why isn't there any humor? Is it supposed to be a drama? So why does it try to downplay everything with stupid characters? Eva Mendes plays the mother, a true tyrant who forces her daughter to do everything at home. She doesn't lift a finger. She's an ordinary caricature, but she's supposed to have development. I don't understand how we're supposed to wish something nice for such a character? How can we believe that she can really change? If the film hadn't made her such a bitch from the beginning, maybe it could have been better, because the scenes where she doesn't have time for her daughter, because she's trying to maintain a relationship with a married man, a relationship that can never have a future, are much more interesting. Since she doesn't have time for her daughter, she starts to act out a little and wants to escape. She comes up with a brilliant plan to escape from home. This is also related to the fact that she gradually becomes a bitch at school. "Mean Girls" were slightly robbed and definitely not better. Tina Fey created a script for the film "Mean Girls" that didn't lack humor. "Almost grown-up" simply isn't funny and everything has to be saved by the actress playing the changing daughter, who is simply good. Cierra Ramirez is a beautiful girl who can act. She's the only thing that keeps the movie from sinking completely. There are unnecessary things addressed here that don't have any meaning for the plot, so it becomes messy. But of course, the ending doesn't disappoint. More information: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/10/prach-uspesna-pokracovani-animaku.html (01.03.2013)

From my point of view, this is a pretty annoying film for teenagers. The film has such a typically American script that it almost hurts. Surprisingly, however, in the end, the main character and her mother learn a lesson that is quite bearable, unlike the plot before it. (35%) (29.08.2021)
