Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

jenlizabeth I will admit that I am a bit of a Lifetime Movie Network addict, which is where I first saw this mini-series, but when things are just too cheesy/unrealistic/poorly written, I check out and change the channel. NOT SO with Maneater! I found it very well written, and Sarah Chalke's character extremely endearing! Sure, she's a materialistic and manipulative brat at first, but you stick around because a. she's adorable and b. you want to see if she learns her lesson. Does she? I guess you'll just have to watch :) And just as a point of reference, I hunted down a DVD copy of this the day after I saw it the first time because it was so fabulous, which can hardly be said for a lot of the mini-series out there. Happy watching!

r-mike-rose I am a guy... and I mean guy. I avoid chick flicks like the plague they are! I generally view hot actresses as overrated and overcompensated. I am not saying Sarah Chalke is necessarily an uber babe(but read on).I was stuck in a hotel room waiting for a New Year's Eve party to start when I got hooked. Nothing on, difficult hotel TV menu. Sarah Chalke was awesome! She made me feel.........well...feel. She also made me feel for her character. It could have been a somewhat predictable, clichéd, re-cycled, re-usable mini-series plot, but you just fall in love with Sarah's character, Clarissa.Sarah Chalke, you rock!! And I only came looking here because I missed the ending.

CranberriAppl Lifetime has fallen so far over the last few years. I just watched the "Marry Me" miniseries on LT, and loved it so much (great writing, story, characters, actors), and thought that since 'Maneater' wasn't a ripped- from-the-headlines movie or about an obsessed stalker, it might be OK. Boy was I wrong. I just finished watching this today, and what a mess.Sarah Chalke is funny, pretty (except in this movie, she was very "frosted"), and I watched in her in the mastectomy movie a few years back, so I'm confident she can carry a movie. At the time, I didn't know it was a miniseries but I picked up on it, when after two hours, my DVR was still recording it. First, the story was a bit much. A 30-something year old socialite, who's not quite Paris, Nicole Richie, or any of the others, feels her time is almost up and she needs to marry a rich guy. She sets her eyes on hooking a movie producer who's new in town. They get married and then things start happening. She's got an ex who still loves her, an ex-con dad, shallow friends, a mom who's pretty OK, no job, no money (see: not-so-rich hubby) and oh yeah..she gets pregnant. I would assume that the movie's goal was to turn this bubblehead into a less self-involved version of herself, but I don't think the writing was there. I could write more, but let me just say this was disappointing. I never felt like Clarissa really had a chance of losing everything. She always talked about having bills, but not one situation was written where she'd have to deal w/buying and paying for things on her own. Things like, having her cards declined or her blackberry cut off. I just always got the feeling that mom/dad would be there or that the baby's grandparents would never let them be destitute. Maybe what I am saying is that the movie didn't really sell itself like it could have. With 4 hours of airtime, they certainly could have, but it didn't. There wasn't any substance. P.S. If I could make a shallow point for a shallow movie, I didn't find the lead guys to be the least bit attractive. They weren't very charming either which usually makes up for it.

napierslogs The plot description for the TV movie "Maneater" reads: "Horrified that she is still single at age 32, a socialite hatches a plan to make a hot Hollywood filmmaker fall in love with her." Horrified is right, that's exactly what I felt trying to watch this.The plot description is accurate. Clarissa (Sarah Chalke) is just so consumed with the need to get married to a rich guy that nothing else matters. That is about as horrible as a romantic comedy heroine that you could possibly write. There is nothing about her that is redeemable or likable in any way.The plan that she hatches certainly fits with what we know about her character - despicable, superficial and ignoble. There may be twists and turns you don't necessarily expect but that's only because it's hard to believe there are people anything like these characters. It might not be so bad if this was a satire on the current state of Hollywood but I didn't see it that way.I am a fan of Sarah Chalke, and this movie does at least show off how attractive she is, but it does nothing for her career. And haven't we all seen enough of Judy Greer playing the slutty and degenerate best friend? I have. Avoid "Maneater" it is just horrifying.
