it was the worst storyline and film ever!

I must disagree with like most people on this film, in the fact that it was far below the rating it was given and disappointed me when I went to see it last night, in every way possible. This is simply because of the storyline of the film and how it was presented. It could have been a good movie, I thought it was going to be after everything I heard of it, but I came out the film feeling most disappointed.

What is the message we are getting from this film? A young girl (Jenny) 16/17years dates a bloke double her age after he gives her a lift home, and then she keeps seeing him everywhere and they go out, like most people would, no problem there. The problem arises in that he is DOUBLE her age and to me just acted like a pervert and stalker all the way through. Surely Jenny would have had to meet him more times, get to know him and then decide to date him. Which brings us to another fault in the film, her family doesn't even care. See now any family (including my own) would at least advise her against this bloke and talk to her about it, tell her the precautions, the pros and cons. at least let her know that they care and are there for her. Then her family should not let her stay with him over night after knowing him for a few days/weeks, but they do, and then do it again in Paris! As if once wasn't enough, lets let our only daughter go off with a strange older bloke, which remember both family and daughter haven't known for very long, to a different part of the world and not even flicker an eye lid about it. Of course she will be fine it's England nothing happens in 50 years ago England! Does it?

Then after knowing he is a thief and that he robs older women all she seemed to do was think its cute/amazing or something. I was pleased when she walked away but she stopped!! Why?!?! Why I ask you is it right that he is a thief and basically a scum of a bloke and she willingly goes along/falls in love. He asks her to marry him after trying to find a ring in the boot of his car, after saying 'it might not fit but it will do'. And she AGREES!! How long has she known him?? What does she even know about him?? Nothing as we find out later in the film.

She quit school, why? She could have carried on while dating this bloke, but no quit school and then feel oh so bad when she is rejected from school once braking up with this bloke. And under no circumstances should she have got into Oxford. Its f*****g Oxford for Pete's sake, she quit school and only seemed to read a book after not being allowed back into school. Then gets a letter saying she is in. WHY?!?!?! I don't care if it was back 50 years ago Oxford is hard to get into and for the likes of her that quit school and didn't care about it she shouldn't have been allowed in.

And another thing why didn't anyone seem to say anything to her, they all went along with her plans like she was the Queen and knew everything. Oh no wait she's 16/17!!!! But even knowing her age and that she is a school girl she was the boss of everyone and knew what she was doing better than all the older women and men in the movie. So what the heck lets be run by school girls, get rid of the Queen we want Jenny, the woman of all knowledge and sense of the world!

This was a STUPID movie and a waste of $20!!! Unless you are a retard and see nothing wrong with what happened in the film then go for it blow your brains out watch the film. But for those who claim to be intelligent, I would recommend staying away from this movie. Have some sense which the film lacks a lot of.

score 1/10
