This show could have been a success if it were written to be funny, silly, and just a tongue in cheek toss off of Fatal Attraction. Sadly, it is not.
The writers, producer, director and actors all meant this film to be a serious attempt at real drama for the teen crowd....so why the heck was the entire audience booing, laughing and tossing things at the screen? Barking at Shiri Appleby, hoochie calls at Erika, and booing Jesse?
It was that bad. Passable acting? That is a terrible description. The three leads, Jesse Bradford, Erika Christensen and Shiri Appleby all have long resumes that should imply more than an ability to hit a performance or be passable. They did not succeed. Blame it on writing, directing or whatever. But the truth is that this script had to read as bad as it was and the blame for this rests on the entire crew and cast equally.
It is one thing to be so desperate for a movie or part and that's fine. But don't promote the film to be what it is not. This is not a good film. It is poorly written. Poorly edited. Poorly produced. Poorly casted. And poorly acted. I can respect an actor who admits that they did a bad film, but stress how it was a learning experience. I can not abide a bad film being white washed to mislead people into seeing it, because in the end, it is still a bad film.
I recommend you drown yourself before you bother with this flick. For what its intention was....it failed miserably.
