Overall I thought it was a pretty good film with just a few of my pedantic thoughts to bring it down.
1./ If Mallory was supposed to only be 16, why weren't the child welfare agencies on her case? I'd imagine they'd keep tabs on sleazy strip joints and the like all the time.
She did seem worried about the cops...
fish wrote:2./ Where was her pimp? A little money maker like her would come under notice very quickly.
Yeah, whether she wanted one or not...I dunno. Maybe not been there long enough.
fish wrote:3./ Why the hell would a reasonably intelligent guy like Doug put himself at risk of being called a paedophile?
Because if you're not a paedo, why should you be afraid, maybe...? It was pretty well underlined that his own daughter was dead, and Alison reminded him of her.
fish wrote:4./ And how could Lois not even ask him the obvious question?
Well, she obviously jumped to the obvious conclusion at first, but then came around and realised what was really happening {or so I thought, anyway].
fish wrote:Having said all that, the performances by the three main characters were excellent.
Lois' attempts to leave the house were bordering on hilarious.
And Mallory/Allison was played to a tee. Brilliant.
Good, glad you enjoyed it. I liked the ending too, an evidently cleaned-up Alison giving them a call.

Can't believe I said that.
Heh...yeah, the L Chat had a .gif up before you could say, "Nice bum".
