FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
alilrebelchick Lori, played by Shannen Doherty is quite the nut-case. A stalking but beautiful trophy girlfriend. William Devane, who played Ed Bledsoe is the charming, way older, well to do horny bachelor. I'm sorry but the relationship between Bledsoe and Lori is just plain unlikely. Really, to see them together made my skin crawl. Devane is just way too old. I cannot see those two together in real life. Why would they put it on film? The acting really is mediocre. Not their best performances. The only decent actor is the daughter (Andy) whose name I cannot recall. The only thing that bugged me about her is that hair-do. What is that? Not a bad movie if you're home sick in bed but if there's something else on, maybe you should pass this one up.
guilfisher-1 Jonathan Sanger directed this murky film written by David E. Peckinpah. I found it very predictable and often tedious. Watching William Devane, looking well his age and a bit older, make love to a young thing was what I found silly and not real. The young thing, played by Shannen Doherty, was infatuated with him. You gotta be kidding. Okay, maybe he had the money. But his money isn't what she wanted. This I found hard to believe. I did like Clare Carey, who played Devane's daughter, the only real value in the picture. I felt the two leads deserved each other. Both losers. As to the acting, well, I'd give them a so-so, except for Carey, whom I liked. There are better films on this subject of obsession.
zany_beat Young thing falls for older man who's just having fun. She's in it for keeps, and will not let go when he's done with her ... This movie hit home for me in many ways as I have suffered from attachment disorder for many years. I felt everything she did, and now that I've done the majority of emotional healing (mainly by using this movie), I can only watch it for the cringe factor. Not to say it isn't very well acted because it certainly is believable (tho' Shannen seems to have it down TOO pat, if you know what I mean).. I'd recommend it for its pure psychological value. It's not on a par with 'Fatal Attraction' if you want suspense and mood, but the movie is not bad.
Keedee Actually, for television, I found it to be a real "time passer". I mean, I could have cleaned my toilet or my toenails, but I was so amused at the fact that someone thought to pair Ms. Doherty with the renown Mr. Devane, that I found myself unusually drawn in. I know it wasn't a good movie, but it wasn't painful. If it's raining outside and you've got the flu and you can't find the remote and you're too weak to walk over to the television to turn the channel, I'd suggest this movie. As for me, I have to be honest. I've always thought William Devane was rather sexy so I probably would watch it again if it wasn't raining, I didn't have the flu and I could find the remote, but on a serious note, I didn't care for Doherty in the role, although she wasn't half bad. In short, it's bearable and slightly, yes, slightly entertaining.
