Dakota Skye is a fairly typical teenage girl with a dumb name and an ambivalent attitude about what she wants to do with her life, which isn’t especially helped by her hordes of friends who are focused on little else but the SATs (so focused, in fact, that they sign Dakota up to take the tests without her knowledge; does that say something about how starved for conflict this story is?).
She has a pretty typical meathead boyfriend, Kevin, who lacks insight into issues beyond his band and making out. Dakota also has what the film somewhat disingenuously calls a ‘superpower’, which is the ability to read the subtext into what people are actually saying when they lie.
