ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Juliet Gabriella Kaleigh I don't suppose that I would be considered a "Hick". I was born in Oak Park, Illinois, I was brought up in Chicago. Even still, calling this film a CRAZY HICK MOVIE was offensive.Now. I'm 22 now, so I was 10 when this movie was made. I most likely saw it for the first in the early 1990's, and I still love it. I watch it every chance I get.This movie had everything. Suspense, Drama, Comedy.I thought that Brian Bloom played his Rich Boy role quite well. He simply has those Rich Boy looks, he still has those gorgeous eyes that just make you shake your head.Anyway. I am NO fan of Christian Slater's. But he acted good in this movie. The role he played, was annoying though. Kinda made me want to puke.I don't know the Lead Female's name, but her name was Lily in the movie. Lily is an outright FOOL. I hated her. She made me sick, sick, sick. And sicker.
mattymatt4ever Christian Slater is Number 10 on my list of favorite actors, so I bet you're anticipating a splendid review of this movie. Not!! First of all, it's a TV movie--which I didn't know before watching it--and I'm not part of the "Lifetime Movie of the Week" crowd. I hardly consider anything that goes direct to network television (this excludes movies that goes direct to premium cable stations) actual "movies." So this was a supreme cheese-fest for me. Why it grabbed a 5.2 rating, which is high for a movie of this sort, is beyond comprehension. This is one of those movies you have to go rooting for in the 99-cent bin, and please realize there's a logical reasons why those movies are priced 99 cents! And may I add, the girl who plays Slater's love interest--I think her name's Tammy Lauren--is NOT an attractive woman! He'd HAVE to be desperate if he wants to get with that girl.My advice to all those who appraise Christian Slater--DON'T GET SUCKED IN!!! Use that 99 cents you're about to spend on this movie to add to the ten or so bucks you're about to spend on "Very Bad Things" or "Untamed Heart." Not Christian's best work.My score: 1 (out of 10)
bitterwine23 Considering this movie was made in 1989 and was made for tv as it relates a true story, I thought it was very touching in the sense that it just gets to you to see how much someone can love someone else and that this last one cannot even realize it. Even worse, Lily didn't take that love seriously because she wast lost in her own little fantasy romance...
VivHui i'm a hardcore christian slater fan and i couldn't even watch this entire movie.. it's awful... maybe i didn't like it because i'm not a small town white trash cow girl.. [at one point Christian Slater actually talks about how he can't do his "raising a bull" school assignment because his family needed money so they had to sell it].. i bought the movie for $5 and i'm willing to give it to the first person who wants it.. i haven't even watched the whole thing.. i couldn't stand it.
