Soundtrack:

Everybody Hurts

Carried away by her Boyfriend's thriller lifestyle, a teenage girl slips into drug addiction. Then one day after a fight, her boyfriend is found dead.

Kellie Martin gives yet another over the top and clichéd performance as the drug addict teen. This, however is compensated for by her support cast. The average script is played wonderfully by most of the young actors and a catchy soundtrack helps make this movie memorable. Brandis steals the show as the lovable bad-guy who meets an untimely end and the last minute twist is interesting to say the least.
