Continuity: In the beginning of the movie when Emma is talking on the phone with one of her friends her friend makes the comment that Emma works with 7-year-olds all day, and a few scenes later Emma states that she teaches 3rd grade. Later when she receives a teaching award her boyfriend says she teaches 2nd grade.

Stupid...

***Contains some spoilers. Don't worry, this movie sucked, so go on and read. Under no circumstances should you actually watch this movie.

Yes, I watched the whole thing. I knew better, but did it anyway. I have a hard time not finishing what I've started. Well, if you're reading this, hopefully you haven't made the same mistake I have.

How stupid was Emma? For an adult, she had some horrible judgment. Going on Spring Break and having some fun is fine, but come on! Learn some common sense. Never take drinks from strangers! What an idiot. She knew they were filming her! They never hid the camera. It was professional equipment, not some camera-phone. She was soooo stupid not to expect to land on the internet. No, she never could have expected to be in a porno, but for God's sake, she took off her top with the cameras right there! When she got back, she kept saying she didn't do anything. Well taking off your top and faking an orgasm is something. Doing that on film is enough to get a teacher suspended/fired, I'm sure (not that I agree with that, personal life should stay personal, that's just the way it is).

Also, it was really... low budget and... hypocritical of them not to show more of the actual film. They showed everything else, including a steamy sex scene between Emma and her boyfriend/fiancé. They were just trying to avoid having to show how her head could possibly be juxtaposed on another woman's body believably. Plus, if it was another woman's body, there would be no point in drugging her and filming her while she slept. If it's that easy to take the footage of her head and attach it to someone, that extra step wouldn't be necessary.

The rest of this movie was just garbage. The ending sucked and made no sense. Her little narration at the end was so cliché. I'm not saying she brought it on herself, but she has to take some responsibility for her actions. I'm really ashamed Lifetime put this movie on. It doesn't send a good message for women. It's just a lecture disguised as a movie... a terrible movie. Ugh, I'm just disgusted with it. Avoid at all costs.
