Normal teenage angst does not include believing the world is going to end in 30 days. What is annoying about the film, are parents portrayed as vacuous minded bubble heads who are so out of touch with their child that they have no clue that their daughter has mental health issues.
Nothing ever happens, just one tedious, meandering dialogue scene after another and I came to wish the world in that movie would end just to stop her from talking. A quarter of the way through (if that) I could no longer stomach it; zoomed to the end and moved on.

Dull stuff
Anxiety as the bad guy
Interesting premise. Sadie has always been an anxious teen, but with the help of her BFF she sustained it. That is however, until her anxiety took over her life in the form of a school project on the end of the world. Now Sadie avoids the teen world by preparing for the end of the world. Now she lost her BFF and is hanging out with a teacher at lunch.
This had an interesting premise and good acting. The problem for me was that it had poor pacing. The story hits its climax around the 44 minute point and then it seems like a series of stalls to get us to the end.
Does the world end? Well, the movie doesn't tell you. But I had thought that would have made for at least 15 minutes of this movie. How would Sadie deal with the reality of what really happened after she had been so public about it?
assignment needs some more work
After studying the world's religious prophecies, Sadie Mitchell is sure that the world is ending in 30 days and everybody is getting tired of her. She is desperate to get anybody to prep for the inevitable. She has a survivalist checklist and two main goals remaining. She has to get back together with former best friend Brennan so that she wouldn't be a lone survivor. Second, she needs her first kiss with a boy. Jack Diaz befriends the odd lonely girl.
The lead girl is good although the best friend needs a bigger personality. The boy is good enough. As a teen drama, it has the kids and the melodrama. I do like the initial premise. The issue with the movie is the issue with Sadie. I don't see the real issue with her. She's an obsessed prepper but that does not automatically make her a social outcast. It doesn't explain completely her disconnection with Brennan. I don't know why she can't walk certain places in the school. The movie doesn't explain a lot of her issues. Does she have OCD? She's obsessed but it can't be all her problems. I don't see how she's isolated. She would be the queen of preppers and her report is perfectly fine for the assignment. It's a good premise but it needs some more thoughts on what it actually means. Quite frankly, the school counsellor would meet her to make sure that she's not suicidal. Maybe she doesn't want to walk in certain places at school because she had traumatic incidences there. This movie needs the writers to work through a few things before handing in the assignment.
