Review of Welcome to the Rileys (2010) by Steph O — 17 Jan 2011

The only really amazing thing about this movie is Kristen Stewart's performance. She is fucking fierce in this movie, and anyone who thinks all she does is mumble and can't emote - is a misinformed idiot. Watch this movie. Watch "The Runaways". Watch "Speak". Watch anything but "Twilight" really.

But back to the movie, "Welcome to the Rileys" never really goes anywhere. No that's not true, it goes somewhere - it goes exactly where you expect it to go. Nothing much happens and there is no real point to it. Nothing new or fantastic in terms of the story or the script or anything. It's just a long, fairly bland drama made occasionally interesting thanks to Kristen Stewart.
