Vanessa Hudgens plays the girl, who insists that everyone call her "Apple," as she tries to go through the process of coping with her reality. She's supposed to come off as strong, tough, tenacious, etc. Unfortunately, she comes off as weak-willed, wishy-washy, and she pretty much crumbles in the face of adversity to the point that she relies on everyone around her to be kind and patient with her.Brendan Fraser is the father that Apple finds without too much trouble. It's unclear at first what exactly they know about each other, and I have seen the entire movie and can tell you that I still don't really know what their relationship is or was or will be. Brendan does an okay job, but there isn't a whole lot called for in his role, so he just kind of fades into the background. Stephanie Szostak probably makes more of an impact than Brendan as his wife, because she seems to have a lot more emotion going on.
Rosario Dawson is almost unrecognizable as the mother. They did a great job with the makeup, and she did a great job acting all whacked out on drugs and spastic. She gave a lot to a role that didn't deserve what she gave it.The mood of the movie, the dialog, the cinematography, the direction, the story progression, the character development, the editing, the props, the locations, the interactions, and pretty much everything else conspired to make this movie pretty crappy.
0.5/5
