Spring Break Nightmare
Head slappingly dumb
I'm not sure which is worse: two kidnappers who have no real reason to do a kidnapping in the first place or the fact that the kidnappee, who is practically a pro athlete, can easily escape from being tied up with ropes but can't manage to run two feet and get away from the bumbling kidnappers. Spoiler alert: at one point, she even jumps into a river to try and get away, but even doing that seems to fails. Apparently, as a surf pro, she can't swim fast enough away from the kidnappers who are themselves not in the river but are on a dingy. Who knew all they had to do is reach down and catch her. She even had a head start on them but their long reach was all they needed. At no point is this an enjoyable movie. But, I can't say I'm surprised given LMN and Lifetime have been lately sacrificing quality for quantity. Nothing is believable about this storyline either. There are just too many excuses: the boyfriend is a gambler, a cheater, a master kidnapper, etc. The mother and the detective are terrible too. What detective would listen to a sketchy phone call from a kidnappee who does a terrible job of pretending not to be kidnapped and not think twice about it? Don't waste your time with this one.
