Author: jerzeydave from Germany

It was "Made-for-TV Movie". It's a premise that hasn't really been explored in films, but it could have been done far better, and in the end it all just falls apart, both on the screen and figuratively. Peter Stormare, a/k/a "Scary guy from Fargo" doesn't convince as the Dr. Moreau of Teen Rehab, some of the acting is stiff, and in the end I just wished they would have filmed a documentary on real-life "tough love" camps instead -- I think that would have been far more interesting and emotional (and cost a heck of a lot less than $14 million).

Not recommended, unless you're a die-hard "Family Guy" addict that just has to see each and every film starring the voice of Meg Griffin.
