I came across this very small, very low budget independent movie on Amazon Streaming. It caught my attention because the story features a girl prodigy of about 12 who gets a chance to do medical research at Stanford as a graduate student. But we never get to that point. After spending some time with it I did NOT find it worthwhile, mostly I am disappointed that Amazon offers it to subscribers. Most of the script is cringe-worthy, all the acting is cringe-worthy, the lighting and filming have all the look of an amateur production, it reminds me of the old home movies I made on VHS with my kids acting roles. I don't really want to trash the actors or filmmakers, I'm sure they did the best they could, but anyone considering watching it should be prepared for a completely amateur, cringe-worthy movie. The kids are annoying, the adults are annoying, there really isn't anything of substance in the whole movie.

Bad script, bad acting, cliche characters, truly awful!

I enjoyed the story and the acting, especially of the actress who played Glory and the actor who played Poppy. I recommend this movie to most people, but for parents who do not want children to hear rough language, there is some rough language in the movie. The violence in the movie is not bloody, nor overly intense. Girl Wired is very entertaining from the beginning to the end, and I plan to purchase it once it is on DVD.
