Movie Review: May

May is a movie about what COULD have become of Melissa Joan Hart if she was forced to wear an eye patch as a child. Just like Joan Hart, the main character in this movie has a lazy eye. Her parents don't love her because of it and she ends up emotionally deprived. Her only friend is a doll that her mom made when she was young. Eventually May starts showing her craziness in her teen years and her only friend is that one doll. She works at an animal clinic and helps with operations and things like that. Also, she spends a lot of her time sewing. The movie has lines like "if don't have a friend, make one." In fact, it is the tagline. So it's NOT much of a surprise when she eventually tries to construct a friend out of human body parts sewn together. It's like a teenage frankenstien... except that she is satisfied even if it's just a lifeless body that doesn't do anything. I think I can safely say that this is by far my favorite movie that features a main character being attacked by blind children. It's an entertaining movie. I'd recommend it.
3 1/2 stars... maybe more
