Zooey is a mysterious girl that has moved next door to teenager Noah. They both become friends.
He lives with an adult friend Owen and his father is searching for him and he seems to be abusive. Owen protects Noah.
Zooey's brother tells Owen that she is very sick and Noah should not be friends with her.
Zooey confesses to Noah that she is an alien.
This low budget film from Ryan Harriss has sweet acting from the two young leads. The story is a hotchpot that really goes nowhere.
I think budget constraints meant that the story was a bit all over the place and the director could never fully realise his vision.

Zooey
My Girlfriend
Noah (Ian Mackenzie Register) runs away from an abusive foster father (adopted?) and stays in a motel with adult friend Owen (Lawrence J. Hughes) who does deliveries and likes alien movies. Noah meets Zooey (Karla Trautman) who lives in the room next door with her "brother". PLOT SPOILER" Zooey is an alien, that we see only once (low budget?). They become friends and then part. That is the whole movie. It wasn't that great as far as dialogue, plot, or acting. Seemed rather pointless.
Guide: No swearing sex, or nudity.
sorry, but no!
It wasn't sci-fi and it wasn't drama. It was a story that never really got going because it was too superficial. With a better script it could have been a really good movie!
Therefore only 3/10 from me.
