    MInor D-FAILS!

    Minor Details is literally the worst thing I have ever seen on a screen. It is as cheap,generic,cheesy,and overrated as a Denny's hamburger.I have never seen such bad acting in my life and would only watch this movie if someone put a gun to my head and told me to.The writing,acting,casting,theme,feel,direction,setting,and even the point of this entire movie is outrageously stupid.Just by looking at the title of this movie made me scream out that it was it was going to be another girly film about a bunch of baloney,and I was quite right.The actors look like they're holding their script in front of them and saying their lines aloud,and the only decent and sort of known actor in Minor Details is the girl from iCarly that was still terrible in this movie.I sort of think that my 10 year old sister,the one who made me watch this movie as it was her turn for family movie night,created this entire movie after an investor passed her 100 dollars to make it.The only thing they got right was characterization which was because the characters are dim witted and have the direction of a broken GPS.If you put a decent film with a sub-par plot such as Rudy next to this movie,Minor Details would disintegrate in to a million pieces.This movie is just another mixture of a bunch of other movies with the same theme.Minor Details must have been put together by super glue because this movie's sense of interesting plot structure is as weak as a cheap watchstrap.This movie is as ridiculously cliché,as if someone watched every single movie ever made,found a running theme in all of them,and put them in to this one .If you are above twelve and/or male I would advise you not to watch this movie unless you have a big bowl of ice cream to tolerate it.Minor Details is absolutely perfect for a ten year old girl's slumber party.Otherwise,don't watch this film.

    some minor Nancy Drewing

    It's the Danforth Academy boarding school. Abby is jealous of new girl Paige but she happens to be her assigned roommate. Abby sends her away and keeps Claire. Paige finds Taylor as her new roommate. Someone threatens to make the cheerleaders sick and then it actually happens. Next the soccer team is threatened and the four girls investigate.

    The production is lower grade. It's a lot of young tween amateur actors. Jennette McCurdy is the only one to make the big times and she seems to be retired now. Such is the lottery odds of show business. This is a bit of Nancy Drewing going on in this movie. The writing and directing is kids TV level. I actually like Abby's character journey with Paige but most of the characters are rather simplistic. This is really only a movie for young girls at best.

    Love it!

    The plot is pretty good. Nothing unique but the movie is fun and entertaining for kids about age 6-13.

    My grandkids love the actress who plays Mia in the movie, she's on iCarly and they love that show.

    The other characters in the movie were good. My grandkids liked all the characters in the movie especially the kid with the red hair and all the hives, and the coach who talks with an Indian accent.

    My favorite was Professor Plume. He was a hoot!

    I rate it an 8 out of 10 because there aren't too many movies I can let my grandkids watch while they are at my house. It kept them happy for a couple of hours and that makes me happy!

    Not great, but charming

    Okay, so I saw this movie when I was younger and fell in love with it. Years later, I realize that it's pretty flawed.

    First off, the acting isn't that great. Edwards and Meyers seemed to be the worst out of all of them , and I'm pretty sure they only got the roles because their moms wrote it. The girl that played Riley (mean black girl) played the role well, but you could tell she was nervous. Emma Duke was just...bad. Like she's the definition of a child actor. But despite this, they all play their characters, for what they are, pretty decently.

    The writing is really weird and awkward sometimes. To the point where it's almost distracting.

    But I appreciate this movie because of the direction and the fact that the cast looked like they were actually having fun. The director obviously had a vision and the way the characters act is just...I don't know, fun and charming to watch.

    If you hate cliché tween movies, probably avoid this. If you're a girl or someone who likes girl movies, then maybe give this a try. When I need something simple to watch, I usually go to this movie.

    Complete Garbage!!!!!

    I don't know who's been writing all of these glowing reviews for this film, but I'm guessing that they've either never seen a film before in their lives or maybe they had something to do with making the film. That's about the only explanation, because EVERYTHING is BAD about this film. The writing is horrible, the acting is terrible, the casting is awful and the direction is pathetic. I can understand a bad script and the poor direction, but couldn't they have at least found some interesting actors?? It seems like you'd be able to walk into about any high school in the country and find a half dozen kids that could act better or be more interesting than this cast. I'm not trying to pick on these kids, but I can't ever recall seeing a film where so many of the actors were just unpleasant to even watch on screen.

    This is one of those rare films that comes along every so often where it seems like everything went wrong. From the low budget look and poor staging of the scenes to the actors that sound like they're reading cue cards, badly, it seems like nothing goes right.

    And for those people that are able to make it to the end of this flick, you probably did more hurling than all the kids in this film. A Terrible Film!!! This is the kind of film IMDb should allow people to give the film a zero or maybe negative one review, because it doesn't deserve a one star!!
