4.0 out of 5 stars Troubling and thought-provoking, December 22, 2005
The first time I saw that movie, which was a few years ago, the only thing that had remained printed in my mind was its shock value provided by the murder of Tori Spelling's character (don't worry, this isn't really a spoiler because she dies right at the beginning and the story is then told in flashback). But after watching it again, I can confidently say that this is the most honest and thought-provoking "based-on-a-true-story" movie I've seen in my life. This is greatly due to Kellie Martin's pitch-perfect performance as Angela Delvecchio, a Christian high school student who wants nothing more than be the best in everything and become friends with snotty Stacy Lockwood, the school's most popular girl. What the movie so brilliantly exposes is the fact that in today's North American society, you are nothing if you're not rich, beautiful and successful, and Angela's crime is simply the reflection of how peer pressure and society's high expectations can reduce someone's self-esteem to smithereens. A Friend To Die For makes you sort out your priorities in life and realize that there are more important values than perfection and wealthiness. The only thing that keeps me from giving this film 5 stars is the sometimes-poor way in which this film was directed and the ridiculously cheesy soundtrack.

4.0 out of 5 stars good film, December 5, 2005
...especially for teens. Kellie Martin is perfect as the role of a sweet, smart, hardworking Catholic girl who feels the need to become popular like the snooty, blonde,fakey girl played by, who else, Tori Spelling. Tori's acting isn't the greatest, in my opinion, but Kellie's is great as always. Kellie's character has such an inferiority complex that she goes to extreme lengths in an attempt to get the blonde to let her into her crowd. The end result is devastating. I think this film was based on a true story, but I am not sure. It has a good message.

P.S. I want to let Kellie Martin fans know that I heard on a Down's Syndrome website that Life Goes On, the show that made her a star, is going to be available on dvd this summer. I can't wait to buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars honest portrayl of teens & pressure, August 10, 2008
This has got to be one of the best TV movies yet...Mostly due to Kellie Martins acting. Tori Spelling wasn't bad but they could have picked a better actress for the character of Stacy Lockwood. This movie was based on a true story that happened in the 80's. Sad but true. Many teens are faced with the pressures of high school and trying to fit in. Great movie for it's time.
