EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING

Plot:

Maddy Whittier (Stenberg) is a teenager with a rare disease to which she must remain germ free, preventing her from going outside or having any unauthorized human contact other than her mother and her nurse. Her condition is so severe that she resides in a custom made germ free house designed by her doctor mother Pauline (Rose) who is overly protected of her only child. But when a young interesting Olly Bright (Robinson) and his family move next door, the romance chemistry is automatic for the two teens even though they have not formally connected. Things will soon take a risky turn when Maddy for the sake of being with Olly will risk her health by stepping outside the house and setting out for the adventure of their lives. This does not set well with her mother who is worried that her daughter has jeopardized her health and life for young love.


Reel Talk:

Plain and simple, this is just another young and dumb teen love story. That's right, a movie that will appeal to the young teen audience, mainly young girls. I use the phrase dumb because there are so many dumb decisions made, that I really just lost count. And the acting was some what stiff from the cast which made some of the scenes boring. But again it will make for a good movie for young teen girls in need of a little romantic hope.  would have been a great Lifetime movie.
