Have any of you seen the movie, "Abduction"? It came out a few years ago I think...it's the one with Taylor Lautner. It recently found it on Netflix so I decided to watch it. Horrible decision! I think I watch about 20 minutes of it and then I turned it off. I was so disgusted and disappointed with the way they portrayed teenagers! The character that Taylor Lautner plays is supposed to be in high school and in the very beginning, it shows him and his friends going to a party. He gets drunk and his dad has to come pick him up in the morning. When he gets home, the mom just seems a little frustrated that he didn't call the night before...she says NOTHING about the fact that her son BROKE THE LAW by drinking underage. That bugs me. It's like they were portraying the idea that parents don't really care about that because "everybody does it" and it's not a big deal.
Another thing that I really disliked about the movie was when a girl from Taylor's character's class comes over to work on a homework assignment. They're looking on a website that has pictures of missing people when they were last seen and then there's a generated picture of what they would look like now. Taylor's character and the girl from his class start making fun of the pictures and the way the people look. What is that teaching young audiences?? Ugh. After that scene I just turned the movie off. For me this movie is not worth seeing.
I definitely agree with your analysis of the movie. I saw it closer to when it came out and it was not worth it. The plot was pretty bad and like you said there it was not teaching any good values.
