“Bad Influence” (** out of four) was a trite suspense melodrama about a single mom (Jennie Garth) whose daughter (Devin Cecchetto) makes a new friend (Kayleigh Shikanai) at school who turns out to be (as the title implies) a very bad influence and she soon notices changes in her daughter’s behavior. Former 90210 siren Garth is amusingly cast as the dedicated mom but that’s about it for surprises. Film feels like something you have seen at least 90210 times before. Byetheway, this is not a remake of the 1990 Rob Lowe/James Spader cult classic of the same name
