The Wrong Student

The Wrong Student

A bit of a relief was The Wrong Student as we feared, based on the first two 'Wrongs' that we watched that all these movie would travel down the same path. That being some cockamamie plan hatched along with a batshit insane accomplice. Not this one my friends! What we have here is a paint by numbers Fatal Attraction, and while some of the things are carried over from the previous 'Wrongs', for the most part we have a completely unique knock off thriller on our hands. As in previous discussions, I will be telling you everything that happens in this movie. Everything.

Today's grown ass woman playing a high school chick is Maddie (Evanne Friedman) and Maddie... is crazy. So very crazy. But also a brilliant criminal mastermind. Maddie will survive this movie, albeit in the arms of the authorities but being young, pretty and white, and despite the fact she's committed a few homicides in this film an attempted a few more, with a decent lawyer and the our the way our justice system works she should back on the street in no time flat. The Wrong series should seriously follow up on Maddie's revenge because girlfriend ain't no joke.

Why is Maddie crazy? Well, it probably has something to with her dead parents which I'm sure she murdered somehow, but honestly, Maddie is crazy because of This Dude...

Please call me Old Spice... Please...

This would be Dominic (Jason-Shane Scott), the former professional soccer ball game player who now coaches the soccer ball at Maddie's High School. Maddie LOVES this guy. You know those old videos of screaming girls when the Beatles used to step off a plane? Maddie loves this guy like all of those girls loved the Beatles COMBINED. Maddie loves to look at coach Dom, like now when Coach Dom is trying to take a shower and Maddie is making a home video.

Can't talk right now, doing some stud... uh... bird watching.

Or Maddie lovingly looking at the mural / shrine she's dedicated to coach Dom.

But while Maddie's insanity is at the center of the movie, the film is actually about Kelly (Jessica Morris) and her grown ass woman High School niece Amber (Kennedy Tucker). Kelly has moved out to L.A. from New York after Amber's parents died in car accident. Yes, that's a lot of dead parents. Kelly just wants to be close to her business, and her business partner Gibson (Vivica A. Fox) but Amber is super angry. More so about her moving to L.A. than her parents being dead. The saving grace for Amber is that she's good at the soccer ball, and she thinks she can make the team!


This would be so much easier if these stupid cones weren't in the way

To offer her support for the niece with the dead parents, Aunt Kellie even goes to tryouts to cheer her on.

TOUCHDOWN on the HOME RUN!!!

Problem is Coach Dom notices Aunt Kelly and Aunt Kelly notices Coach Dom. And Maddie notices all of that. Aunt Kelly even makes a special trip to Coach Dom's office to talk about Amber's Soccer Ball team possibilities.

Here I stand, the one that you will love, asking for another day.

None of these shenanigans are lost on Maddie who plays the Dead Parent card and befriends Amber, to keep an eye on Kelly and Dominic, and Amber is happy for the friend, at least for a little while until people start turning up dead. Like this chick.

She's suffering from The Dehydration

If you were to expand that pic above there's a lot to unpack there. The unopened First aid kit that still has the wrapping tape out of it, to the half eaten sandwich on the floor, or that she's trying to breathe by shoving an napkin her mouth and not to mention the volleyball in the corner. Nice detail touch there. That dead lady was the Athletic director and former head coach of the soccer ball team and she HATED coach Dom, which means she hated Maddie and as such girlfriend had to handle her business. Now it's time to take a break and examine the criminal genius of Miss Maddie. So that lady there, Maddie poisoned her. Easy enough, but she poisoned her with a substance that interacted with a condition that the woman already had, which she could've cured with her Epi Pen, which Maddie had already taken away. How did Maddie know about the condition? How did Maddie know what drug to use? How did she compute the chemical reaction effect? How did Maddie know about the Epi Pen?

Next Maddie kills this dude.

Maddie killed this cat because he was poking around in her apartment, and Maddie has setup motion sensors to alert her phone anytime there's movement in her apartment. I mean that's some genius Russian 2016 type stuff right there. I mean there's nothing in Maddie's apartment that's of any value, the kid doesn't watch TV or listen to music or anything, just tends to her Coach Dominic Shrine, but she is crazy. Maddie also seems to have the entire city of Los Angeles wired for video to be sent to her phone.

Maddie realizes that Kelly is an actual threat to her love with Coach Dom. but before just up and killing Kelly, she starts making some bold moves.

I tried. Old Spice ain't calling

First she tries to seduce Dom in the shower, but Coach Dom apparently has some kind of rule where he doesn't have sex with High School chicks. Despite the fact she's eighteen as she tells us over and over again. Then she fakes a drunk drive call to get Dom to pick her up, and that ALMOST worked.

Coach Dom seriously looked like he was entertaining the possibilities. I mean she is legal and stuff. But alas he says no, and NOW it's time to Kill Kelly! First by destroying her career.

This is more a testament to Maddie's criminal genius than anything. I forget what Kelly and Vivica's business is, but it's some kind of service, and it's web based. Thus, in theory, if you wreck an office, chances are you can't wreck the business, but Maddie somehow bypassed their security, then destroyed their servers because this is the one small company on the planet that kept their web services on their local servers. Genius Maddie... genius. One I've learned about the Wrong series is that they do not know and do not care how computers work.

Then Maddie does some light vandalism by throwing a rock through the window, complete with some high quality calligraphy on it.

But the important thing about this scene? THIS DUDE!

My Main Man... the one in the middle that is.

My favorite character from the last two Wrongs, now with even more lines and more screen time! As I keep watching these I fully expect him to be one of the actual Wrongs at some point. Maybe he's gonna be the Wrong Real Estate Agent? The Wrong Boyfriend? I don't know, but he's working his way up!

Anyway, it's for Maddie to end all of this nonsense. She shows up at Kelly's house to kill whoever is left, Like Amber, as well as herself and just burn it all down. In Kelly's sexy night robe no less.

Maddie just wanted her man by her side and to be Amber's friend. Two sisters bonding over dead parentage. But now there's nothing left but Stabby Time!

Fortunately for Amber, world class athlete and FIFA soccer ball star Dominic shows up to save her!

Actually he doesn't. While I might think he can take out a high school chick with a four inch blade who is simply a slap away, he is fairly petrified. I know that look on his face doesn't seem like fear, and instead looks like bored disinterest, but it is fear. Fortunately for all involved, Kelly showed up with a skillet.

How do you like your eggs! Okay, need to workshop my catchphrase.

And thus ends the reign of the Wrong Student who will now have to play the soccer ball game in whatever mental institution she ends up in. The good thing is that now Coach Dom and Kelly are a couple, with the blessing of Amber.

My parents are still dead, but you got a boyfriend! High Five!

And in case you didn't know they were a couple, after Amber's soccer ball game and Amber choosing to hang out with some friends, Kelly seductively walks up to Coach Dom and says 'we have a few hours to burn, why don't you show me some of your new moves'. Coach nods in complete approval. It looks like it's Sex Time! Nope.... I totally misread that... these two young, fit, virile people in their sexual prime, who are totally hot for each other, with hours to burn, decide to play the soccer ball game, and play it poorly. Completely misread that. That's on me. My bad.

This is SO much better than sex! Right?

So we gotta hand it to The Wrong Student as I do believe it captures what a Wrong should totally be about, because Maddie, who was awesome in this by the way and completely made this movie, was so very wrong. And personally, I can't wait for her to get out of jail and finish the job on these clowns. Maximum Wrongs!
