Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
GazerRise Fantastic!
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
DrWillHatch There are numerous(far, far too many to count) films, pieces of literature, art, music or otherwise, that are mediocre. They are pieces with admirable qualities balanced out by bad ones. The job of a film critic is to analyze the worth of the film through whatever proscription's are appropriate. As a lover of film, I am sadly kind to many to many films that I would call mediocre, and reserve my most scathing criticisms for those films which are either truly awful , or those with something that I deem has no redeeming value. Cyber Seduction:His Secret Life is an all around failure from what it set out to achieve(at least from what I think they were trying to achieve), and I am so glad that they did. This is one of the funniest, most laugh a minute films I've ever had the pleasure to watch. Seriously, it's like the director watched a Monty Python marathon for inspiration before making the film. For those who don't know, the film concerns the trend of pornography addiction among teenagers. I'm not sure of the actually studies done, but this film is comparable to "Reefer Madness" in its exaggeration of the "problem"(though much funnier). Jeremy Sumpter is a teen who has a bright future ahead of him. He is a talented competitive swimmer, has a "proper" girlfriend, and is a good example to his younger brother. Through some sort of plot contrivance(I haven't seen it since it came out- minor details aside, it left a big an impression on me), he discovers the joys of stimulation, which eventually leads to his, and several others lives ruined in the process. A lot of the humor comes through sheer absurdity. First of all, the porn he discovers couldn't be more tame(later on, in one of the funniest moments of the movie, his swim mates receive pda images of people wearing latex, which we are supposed to interpret to be bondage porn). It is mostly a bunch of plain looking women dancing around unsexily in bras and panties. Secondly, you never actually see him masturbate. Actually, it is more likely that he is a zombified addict due of the energy drinks like Red Bull that he excessivly consumes. You might blame his stupidity(he never closes the door) on his mother, who is played by Kelly Lynch with absolute zero knowledge of even the most basic concepts of sexuality. It could be a genetic trait. Eventually his younger brother becomes addicted to pornography as well and he leaves his private disc("Virgin Vaginas") to be easily found in his dresser drawer(which was totally unnecessary, he could of hid it easily from his illiterate mother and doofus father on his PC). Did I mention that he loses all interest in his girlfriend and causes his family to crumble?The film wouldn't be nearly as successful had I not been drawn in by the characters. I have to give credit to the two main actors. I saw this film almost directly after I saw Jermey Sumpter in "Peter Pan", which I loved him in. In this film he is very likable, and portrays the idiotic character with such seriousness and earnestness that you can't help but like hima little . It's not his fault that he was born in such a strange alternate reality where, honestly, red blooded teenage boys lament over the dangers of bondage(which isn't really bondage), and slutty girls try to commit suicide after the first "date". Kelly Lynch is fun to watch, as she plays the entirely overzealous and nonsensical crusader with a straight face, and it adds another level of irony that she apparently has no problem with "doing nudity"(I wouldn't know, I've never seen her in another picture). The whole film plays this way, the characters act so out of proportion with how people in real life act, but with such likability and seriousness that you can't help but laugh. I can't really describe how ridiculous this movie gets without telling you about that the film is bookmarked by two instances of tragedy. The aforementioned scene where a slutty girl Jeremy met off the internet bangs her head on a marble sink after Jeremy realizes he's in over his head, and two instances of him looking like hes committing suicide. Whether it was intentional or not, this film actually managed to be somewhat intelligent in its commentary. Through all the absurdity, I think viewers might get the message that you shouldn't be espousing the dangers of something or someone without first doing the proper research. If you don't, you'll end up looking like a complete fool(like the mother). You might say that nothing tragic would of happened had she just followed her husbands initial advice, and let him do his own carnal explorations(which he should of been doing which he was much younger). I gave this a 9 because it truly made me laugh, the IMDb bottom 100 should be reserved for films with no talent in stimulating anything, except my revile.
zaur-2 Not just a movie mind you, but one of the funnest "things" I've ever seen... And the other user comments and the discussion board only make it all the more gut busting funny... Guy is addicted to Internet Porn... and he lusts after his mother, his religious girlfriend, and a Senior Slut named Monica who has a sexy web site... ya ya ya voom.... And she even meets him at the soda shop and lets him touch her boobie, even though she has a bad ass boyfriend who kicks our hero's ass in the end after she bangs her head and blames it on him after he can't seal the deal with her. Then when the boyfriend goes to kick his ass she's all "no no baby..." Anybody else notice that Monica the slut was played by Nicole "Dicker"? I mean if there is such a thing, and what computer guy hasn't spent the long nights in front of the Internet, most Internet porn you're looking at stuff a long long way away, probably in another country, and this guy is lucky and actually has a willing slut not only in the same town, but the same HIGH SCHOOL!!! It would have been a much better movie if it would have been about Monica's Internet sex addiction, after all she's the one with a naughty website and not just looking at porn like our boy. I was actually hoping when she hit her head and that long line of blood spilled out that she'd die and that he'd get convicted for murdering her after becoming obsessed by her naughty website; would have made a much better movie than the self-baptism that occurs instead.And Kelly Lynch wasn't so self-righteous when she was getting it from Patrick Swazi in Road House and showing her naked "porn" body. And she goes ape over our boy's porn when his brother is playing GTA and she says nothing. Anyhow, this movie is still a great laugh if you're a slacker like me with nothing better to do.
duncmoll Friends, I have a confession: LMN movies are SO preposterous and implausible that I can't stop watching them!!! "CyberSeduction" was my 5th straight LMN movie today...and it was the most hilarious.STORY: Otherwise successful high school guy experiments with adult websites and immediately transmogrifies into zombied moron, saving images anywhere and everywhere, skulking around at 2:00am to peek at more sites, guzzling gallons of high-caffeine energy boosters, distancing himself from his squeaky-clean original girlfriend, dragging his poor younger brother down the same horrific road to ruin, "hacking" into the library's computer, lifting his Mom's credit card to get yet MORE "porn", lying a WHOLE lot to everyone, almost rolling with a senior class porn star, getting the everliving crap beaten out of him, and generally tying his Mom's undies in a big knot. Lifetime parents are usually always jackasses, especially dads, who are normally villains or molesters of some sort. Women are always shown as strong and in charge, albeit somewhat technologically challenged. My favorite scenes: watching the lead, Jeremy Sumpter pretend to be a fast swimmer and the porn CD that was conveniently labeled so Mom could crap in her pants when she finds it! This is a classic movie if you want to laugh your "warped #ss" off!
chris_tehirlrox9 Best film ever. fact.I could'nt believe how Seduced. Addicted. Destroyed i was after seeing this film.My Secret Life reminded me a lot of His Secret Life. The only things missing were a cameo from Montel Williams and a duet cover of 'Fairground' with Mick Huckers. 10/10 an absolute classicAnd I love the thought of coming home to you Even if I know we can't make it I love the thought of giving hope to you Just a little ray of light shining throughI WAS SEDUCED CYBERLY AND BEGAN MY SECRET LIFE
