Review of White Frog

White Frog (2012)
3/10
Poor Writing, Awful Direction/Acting, and Wretched Preachiness
25 January 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Directed by Quentin Lee with heavy handedness, "White Frog" is a complete dud with an intriguing title. Unfortunately the title is where anything interesting ends. The dialog has no subtlety, and the direction is a failure. Scenes are over or under acted with regularity, and the dichotomy of greed and giving is sickeningly simplified and black-and- white. The preaching screams out in scene-after-scene - community service, money, friends, parents. In one scene we are supposed to believe a professional psychologist would actually floss during a session. The complete dysfunction, spectacle and melodrama is putrid, especially from the parents. Who sponsors this Crud? Booboo Stewart's acting was cringe-worthy. Like watching a bad high school film project. 3/10 If you're interested in a better movie about Asberger, check out "Adam". Much better acted and directed.
