This is a Lifetime movie based on a sex scandal that took place at Milton Academy prep school, Massachusetts in 2005. Things have definitely been changed so don't expect a doc.
In the movie, the lacrosse team is a group of bullying boys and they are the top dogs. The school have a ceremony whereby the senior students pass on something to the following classes. In order to top all that has come before, they decide to make a sex tape and pass it on.
The young actors do a good job. It stars Vanessa Marano, Max Lloyd-Jones, and Charlie Carver. The story flows very well for the first 2/3. The ending however have a few things that I have questions about.
1. The biggest thing that concerned these kids seemed to be expulsion. But it seems that there are bigger criminal issues that was never even touched on. Transmitting underage sex is child pornography, and very chargeable.
2. Everybody is willing to lie about the incident with a simple promise of future gifts. Why would this rich guy pay after they finish with the lie? The first thing I would do is get a briefcase filled with cash instead of a handshake promise.
3. The boy just handed over all the evidence. Really??? Even an idiot would have made copies.
It was good and I like moral ambiguity of all the characters. The ending needed a few more rewrites to iron out some issues.
