I'm so disappointed.


I didn't want this to be some raunchy, "tell-all" story about how they were all whores and drug addicts...however, I DID want this to be a story about SOMETHING. Seriously - I keep watching it over-and-over in hopes that maybe I missed something to no avail. I would like to know this though - who is Eric supposed to be? They often used the same extras at bayside and the Max...I wonder which one he actually played.

I'm pretty sure he was Jessie's stepbrother... The one who blackmailed everyone, took Lisa out and made her crash Belding's car, then took it apart

Cpw - that's an interesting theory! He never even crossed my mind!

I don't think so because the guy complained that all he'd gotten was work as an extra, never an actual role on the show.

I did.
I wanted something juicier than this at least.
I was also disappointed.

I was expecting it to be much more raunchier, but the fact it was on lifetime should have been a give away it would be tame. lol

reply

Exactly. I mean, I would have been okay with it if they were all bad apples but I didn't expect it. Most of them were pretty well-rounded even after SBTB, so I wasn't expecting a Lindsey Lohan-esque story, haha.

For such an unauthorized movie it seemed very tame and blah. Maybe it should have been played on Disney to get more of the oh no they didn't shock value! I wanted to see more of the real *beep* that no one ever knew about. We all knew that everyone had "crushes" on everyone at some point in time.

I agree. I didn't need to see lives of excess spiraling downward toward rock bottom, but some sort of real conflict other than kids being kids and making unexciting mistakes. When it ended, I wondered what was the point of making the movie if there was so little story to base it on.

reply

And honestly, wouldn't we have known by now if the cast had truly spiraled? They were from an era where a lot of the child/teen stars had issues. There was probably nothing there outside of the normal teenage stuff.

yeah, i wanted to see something more too.. like, i'm sure dustin isn't the only one who drank or smoked.. and of course we know mario was macking on fans.

reply

Heehee I forgot about Jessie's evil stepbrother. This movie was such a let down. The entire teen cast, well, even adult cast, was terrible. If you can even get past Zach's massive eyebrows.

reply

It was alright, however as i agree i expected a darker build up. I didn't expect premium tv material either, just something a little edgy.

The reason for the concept time is so that everything does not happen at once
