Most Likely

            A janitor cleaning the auditorium of a high school finds the brutally broken body of a beautiful senior beneath the bleachers.  At the funeral, a collection of the girl’s friends all watch with varying degrees of sadness as the body is interred.  Most notably, we focus on Frankie, a homely braces-wearing brunette with a mousy face, who looks deeply moved.  As a griever says ‘She was so beautiful’, Frankie makes accidental eye-contact with an emo kid who eyes her oddly.  Back at the auditorium, the police take down the crime scene tape, as the case is left unsolved.  Ten years go by in the auditorium as banners go up and down, and the time lapse ends as ten year reunion decorations are put up.

            Adult Frankie gets her mail and is very confused to see the 10-year invite.  Why?  Because she already has an invitation on her fridge.  She opens the new one and finds that it was re-mailed by one of the other recipients and has been augmented with a red X over the map of the auditorium and 4 words written on the back.  ‘You were beautiful too.’  Frankie pulls out her old yearbooks and considers before deciding that she needs to go to the reunion.  She needs to know who sent this letter, and maybe who killed her friend.

            The bulk of the film takes place at the reunion where Frankie reconnects with two other formerly nerdy girl friends who also receive similarly frightening letters in the mail.  Is someone out to kill them.  They begin covertly investigating the other members of their graduating class to try and solve the crime that the police couldn’t.  They quickly learn that some information that other classmates have was never in the police report, so whoever committed the crime (or saw it) is letting some info leak.  This portion of the film intercuts with flashbacks from their high school days where we see the relationships between these girls and each other, as well as various guys with both them and the victims.  Obviously there’s a big red herring of an emo kid, but as we near the end, we and our heroines realize that it wasn’t him, but rather a popular guy.

            The ladies lure him off into a classroom (or locker room) and confront him.  Once he realizes who it is he’s facing, he gets scared, and we soon figure out why.  He witnessed the crime, but he didn’t do it.  They did!  They haven’t been trying to find the killer.  They’ve been trying to find the person who saw them do it.   And of course we see the flashback of how it happened, the popular girl catching the nerdy girls smoking or something in the gym, an altercation escalating.  Anyway, now they’ve got him, and they hold him trapped in the locker room until the reunion ends.  Finally, they take him out, planning to kill him, perhaps in the method they killed her, but they didn’t anticipate something.  He wasn’t the one writing the letters.  Someone else also knew, and sent out letters to lots of people to narrow down who did it, but now the culprit is obvious, and the person responsible, perhaps the janitor, comes out of the shadows to catch the killers and stop them from killing again.
