American Girl (2021)
1/10
This film got a major casting flaw
12 March 2022
As reviewer ks-60500 pointed out, it's quite painful to watch two children from the parents totally looked so different from them without any possible genetic trace appeared on these two young daughters. The kids looked more like adopted or more like foster kids.

The screenplay also got many flaws albeit the snail-crawling like pace. The education system in Taiwan nowadays severely prohibits any harsh punishment from the teachers to their students. Whipping punishment has been forbidden and considered a crime punishable by Taiwanese civil law. Yet this film still ridiculously showed such illegal punishment done by the teacher to the students. That female teacher in this movie is not a teacher but a thug-like monstrous, completely unqualified, uneducated fat ganster woman who was cast just for the purpose to worsen the horrible classroom nightmare for the female kid students.

This screenplay shown us is so weak and boring as always and often from Taiwan. The writer seemed to completely ignorant about the immigration status between US and Taiwan. It just conveniently crafted to suit its writer to build a family and society situation but completely unrealistic. The dialogue also felt very unnatural and pretentious, a typical Taiwanese screenplay writers problem that never had been improved so far.
