Bellyfruit was a Cute, But Predictable movie about the trials and tribulations of three teenage females. Kinda got upset watching one teenage girl maintain a relationship with and adult man due to a lack of knowledge.....

The copy of Bellyfruit that I received last week was damaged and i couldn't see it. It started and when it got to 1/8 of the movies it wouldn't move. I checked it and saw that it was cracked slightly from the hole to somewhere in the middle. I sent it back to you and am awaiting another copy.
