So, when I first saw this movie advertised, I assumed that Lisa was going to turn out to be a descendent of Doctor Frankenstein. I was a little disappointed to find that wasn’t the case, as I think that could have been quite an interesting take on the movie.

I did find it a little hard to really connect with Lisa as a character. There were certain aspects to her that resonated with me, as she seemed to be a bit of a loner at school. And I liked the fact she was so taken with the fantasy of a man who’d died years before she’d ever been born. I did feel like she was made out to be too weird and quirky, which made me unable to really care about her as a character. Also, when Taffy was talking to her friends about what happened to Lisa’s mother, it seemed so over the top that I assumed she was lying about it.

Janet was definitely the epitome of evil stepmother, coming across more like a caricature than a character with any real depth. Really, that could describe most of the characters in the movie. It felt very over the top, even though there were some interesting aspects to the movie…such as the Creature’s body parts becoming usable after he’s electrocuted.

I did kind of enjoy the relationship between Lisa and Taffy, when it didn’t feel like Taffy was just being fake when she talked to Lisa. By the end of the movie, I figured that was just the way she was and that she didn’t mean any harm in the way she acted. Of course, I didn’t like her actions towards the end of the movie…not that that excused what happened.

I didn’t personally find this film very amusing. It was an easy watch that I didn’t have to pay a lot of attention to, but I can’t really say I cared about any of the characters. Lisa talked about the fact she used to suffer from selective mutism…but this was never actually shown in the movie.

I feel like this movie did have a lot of potential. In the trailer, it looked like it might be more of a love story between Lisa and the Creature. However, I felt the movie didn’t really live up to my expectations.

The film was easy to watch, but I can’t really say that it’s a movie I’d go out of my way to watch again. A little bit disappointing, to be honest.
