Review of To Save a Life (2009) by Alec E — 04 Apr 2010

What a piece of crap. Fine, I'll give it that it was inspirational and it's a good lesson for kids, but the theme was too overriding and made it repetitive. To Save a Life is the story of an all-American teen Jake Taylor, who seemingly has it all. Ever since Jake Taylor was a kid, he was the type of guy you couldn't help but like. He is popular, a basketball star, dates the best looking girl in school and his college plans are on track. Enter Roger Dawson, Jake's childhood best friend with whom Jake has grown apart since starting high school. Roger's life couldn't be more different from Jake's. After years of suffering silently. Roger walks onto campus and makes his final, tragic move. Roger's decision of his own that will forever change the people and the life he has always known. The kid who played the lead, I don't know or care what his name is, played his part absolutely terrible. The rest of the supporting cast sucked just as much. The film's melodramatic and unrealistic (trust me, I experience what you would call "this" everyday), and should be avoided by everyone.

Rating: 2/10, 1/5, F, 20%.
