Amanda Fletcher and her daughter Hanna have a special bond. They rely on each other for support and they always tell the truth. They pride themselves in being the Fighting Fletchers.
Hanna is super-star student, having made the Stellar Student List at Elmwood High School and won a full scholarship to college. But her cousin, Madison Willits, is virtually the opposite. Pressured by her father Michael into getting accepted into college, the slacker Madison can only lament, "Why is it so hard to get into college?" She then moves into action with a diabolical scheme to blackmail her over-achieving cousin.
After lacing Hanna's orange juice with rohypnol, Madison takes compromising photographs of Hanna. She then demands that Hanna complete her homework assignments and even take her college entrance exam for her. Somehow, Hanna is able to get Madison on the Stellar Student List.
It was unconvincing that Hanna would wait so long to confide in her mother that she was set up and blackmailed. But the outstanding performances held the film together. It was credible that Hanna was a stellar student. And the performer playing Madison was eerily convincing. If there is a moral to the film it is that one should always trust the ones you love and respect. After all, Hanna and her mom are the Fighting Fletchers!
