Triple Dog

Triple Dog follows a group of 16 year old girlfriends as they take part in an extreme game of 'Truth or Dare' called 'Triple Dog', which is where the film gets its title from.

Triple Dog is not ground-breaking, but still feels fresh. Some may judge it as being nothing more than a teen movie, but as the story develops, there are many hidden depths to it. It reflects aspects of what it is to be a 16-year-old girl and how peer pressure, fitting in and being socially accepted can become the most important thing in the universe, even at the expense of your personal well-being or morals. Within this I feel like the film contained a very valuable message and although the ending was rather predictable, it was a fitting ended and I appreciated it.

It has plenty of entertainment value as the characters took part in extreme dares, but there is also emotion attached to it. The characters face dares that are very personal and specifically chosen by their friends to humiliate them based on their values and personalities. Beyond this, there's an element of mystery that is interwoven throughout which takes the movie beyond a group of friends daring each other to do ridiculous and extreme stuff.

The characters had interesting dynamics and good chemistry which was interesting to watch and added to the intruige of the story. Unlike most others in this genre, Triple Dog, felt like it tried to give attention to the characterisation of the main characters and their relationships with each other.

Overall, I enjoyed Triple Dog; it's entertaining, has an element of mystery, contains valuable messages and is led by a bunch of decent characters in comparison to other films in this genre.

4.6 out of 10? This movie was so fresh and unique. The acting was strangely very good, and the depth to the plot was, for me, totally unexpected. When I rented this, I suspected I would be able to handle maybe half an hour before turning it off, but I was so wrong.

The director had very minute attention to detail and it really showed. I liked the way that the shots were framed and found the camera work to be near perfect. So yeah, maybe the ending wasn't a complete surprise but the way everything came together was what made this movie a hidden gem. I found the final 10 minutes to be genuinely authentic and emotional.

It's a shame this was marketed as a teen thriller with a silly title and DVD cover-work because it was much more like a psychological drama.

I always chose truth...and I could never play triple dog dare. Dare without the truth or the fun.

This movie still hasn't been released in the US, at least not in wide distribution, and that is a shame. Despite the 2 (so far) 1 star reviews, that appear to have been written by the same person, this is not a bad movie. The characters are a bit stereotypical, but, name a teen movie where they are not. And, frankly, the teens in this movie are far more believable than in most teen films. Part of the problem might be that this film seems to be categorized as a thriller, and it definitely is not. It is a coming of age movie. I like that the characters do develop over the course of the film. And, while it is hard to empathize with the main character, Chapin, in the beginning, by the end of the film I did. I am also a Brit Robertson fan from her work on the TV series 'Life Unexpected'. And, why this film got an R rating is beyond me. Oh, and this film passes the Bechdel test(look it up if you have never heard of it). That may be the reason for the unhappy reviews.

KInd of hillarious that all the good reviews are from new accounts that all seem to link to the cast in some way.
