Tiger Eyes is a film adaption of the Judy Blume novel of the same name. Like the book, it centers on Davey Wexler whose father was murdered.
Personal
I watched this movie because I enjoyed the book, but the movie was garbage.
Cast
- Willa Holland as Davey Wexler
- Amy Jo Johnson as Gwen Wexler
- Tatanka Means as Wolf (Martin Otriz)
- Elise Eberle as Jane Albertson
- Cynthia Stevenson as Aunt Bitsy Kronick
- Forest Fyre as Walter Kronick
- Teo Olivares as Reuben
- Russell Means as Mr. Ortiz
Review
Good
Bad
- Davey Wexler is supposed to be 15-year-old, but Willa Holland was 21 in the film. Even if she was supposed to be a high school senior, she looked too old. And her bratty "I hate you!" line doesn't work at all. Likewise, the actors who play her parents both look too young.
Ugly
- The writing is terrible. It's filled with generic trope-heavy dialogue. Even great actors wouldn't be able to make it sound good, but this film doesn't have any great actors. The family fight about Wolf is especially awful. All of Blume's subtly at dealing with real teen issues has been lost.
