The Devil's Playground wasn't half as entertaining or informative as it should have been, given the great concept. Though it was interesting in parts,I often found it slow and repetitive. The music, a mixture of typical docu-muzak and technohouse, hypnotized me into boredom. But worst of all, several of the scenes were obviously staged, recreated, and/or written for the kids who were being filmed. And the girl the drug dealer ends up with in the end could NOT have been Amish. There are no exotic, dark-haired, olive-skinned Amish women. There just aren't--ARE NOT. PERIOD. And even if there were, they wouldn't be reading their lines off of cue cards like this girl obviously was. Could have been a lot better.
