“Pearl In The Mist” (** out of four) was a pretty banal adaptation of V.C. Andrews’ novel about the continuing adventures of Ruby (Raechelle Banno) as her and her sister (Karinna Banno) are sent to an exclusive all-girls boarding school where she is hopeful for a fresh start but locks heads with the cruel headmistress (Glynis Davies) of the school and her vindictive stepmother (Lauralee Bell) and once again feels all alone in the world. Overplotted but underdone teenage soap opera melodrama; quite different than you might expect from the writer of the lurid “Flowers In The Attic.” Both sister characters are sisters in real-life but they oddly have little camaraderie together.
