Plot good, actors too old

That was our big gripe about the film, so if you can get past the unrealistic high schoolers, it's fine, with good plot twists. People aged 14-18 generally don't have forehead creases & there was almost no one in this movie who didn't look 20+. There also seemed to be only 100 kids in the entire high school, all of them juniors or seniors. The lampooning of the ultra-christian kids was unkind in that it was unrealistic. They are either genuinely nice in real life or their negative work is so behind-the-scenes & where I live, at the parental & school institutional level so you don't see kids treating kids like that. If you live in an ultra-right-wing area like I do, in which a certain sect controls too much of what goes on at schools, the movie's portrayal was not funny. And people who would think it is funny probably haven't spent much time in a town like mine.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Alice in Wonderland

Normally I don't like Tim Burton films, but his approach worked very well for this film and gave it a spin that really worked if you have a historical interest in the Alice books and their social background. Casting was excellent; Anne Hathaway does not let the White Queen be too perfect & Johnny Depp gives the Hatter a madness that "works" and is not the usual doofiness alone. Burton could have skipped the dancing, though, that took away from the film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Humorous but serious, excellent acting, enough plot twists to keep audience engaged. Good use of real people in certain scenes. Husband liked it too.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
