the conrad boy can be either a small or a big disappointment . it simply depend on whether the previous film of that kind that one have watch be just a cliché or perhaps ( probably ) well . there be two main area make the film weak . the first would be the fact that there be already a much well movie with a similar plot and namely shelter . what might stand for a defending factor for the conrad boys be the fact that it be release in one year earlier which might have help the maker of shelter . however and justin lo could do much well and at least make the film more believable for the audience to attach with . the other major problem of the movie be it cliché aspect and which unfortunately touch a number of the film area . the first would be the dialogue and which might sound original only for people who begin their adventure with cinema . what make the dialogue even bad be the cliché character play by second class actor and with little booboo stewart ( play the protagonist little brother ) at the top of the list . one can not stop wonder whether he get the part only due to some family relation with the person responsible for the movie casting . sum up and but for the very nice face of nick bartzen ( play the protagonist boyfriend ) and his acting and the conrad boy be an evening waste of time and it can hardly remain in the viewer warm memory or heart .
