This based-on-a-book-based-on-a-true-story TV-movie gave me the creeps, long before the Dutch guy roofied the title character.  There's a leering undertone to the way Natalee is filmed and talked about, including by her stepfather, as if everyone sees her as an object.  And to be honest, although she's supposed to be the "serious" one among her shallow friends, she spends far more time talking about partying than about her planned medical career or anything potentially interesting.  I was relieved to eject the DVD at the quarter-hour mark.  Still, um, the Aruba scenery was nice?  So not in the F or even D- range.  Mikael Salomon directed.
