Okay, here is a Lifetime movie at its CHEESIEST! This was such a terrible concept - I can't believe that someone would write such a script.

That out of the way... okay Rita Wilson, I love ya to death. But, your husband Tom Hanks is winning Oscars and you are making movies about invisible kids?!?! Thank the Greek Gods you happened upon Nia Vardalos & her Big Fat Greek Wedding!

This movie wasn't worth the 1.5 hours I spent watching it...actually, it was on in the background while I was cleaning the house. (Not all of us are lucky to have a nanny. ;) Then again, I didn't see Gillian doing any of cleaning?!

If Lifetime had an award for worst script, this would win...! Please, don't waste your time...unless you have some housecleaning to do.

Oh gosh, you people take kitchy (sp?)-ness way too seriously! This is a great movie, if you love the ol' horror movies from the 50s. Yes, have a few drinks & watch it...why not!? Have a few while you watch "Creature from the Black Lagoon" or any of the original "Frankenstein" or "Dracula" movies!

What makes this one stands out is the beautiful scenery - the costumes, the set decorations - very nicely done. It makes this B movie a bit more palpable, despite the lousy acting. I was half expecting this to become one of those late-night porn movies, because the acting was so bad, but I'm glad it didn't. Not that I'd recommend this to Mom, but still... it was rather entertaining for a late-night cable movie.

Let's have more "truthful" movies about mermaids!!!!!!

This is so blatantly a made-for-TV ripoff of Black Widow (1987) - even the insect titles are so similar.

If you want a better "marrying for money" movie, check out Black Widow, starring Debra Winger & Theresa Russell.

These movie is cheesiness at its best..! I just had to watch it entirely to see how it ended.

Joan Allen. Why? She is one of the most dry, robotic actresses of this day & age. And Jeff Bridges?! He will forever be The Dude in my eyes -- sorry, I just had to laugh when I realized he was President. (And Oscar nominated!?!?)

I did enjoy the story, but oh-so-many political statements! I agree w/ another person who posted -- only NOW it's been revealed that she was allegedly involved in an orgy? Only NOW it was revealed she stole her best friend's husband? PULEEZE!

I enjoyed the plot twist & ambush...that caught me off guard. But then again, I suppose something had to really surprise me about this movie!

I'm not going to go into plot details or cinematic critique, because it's been said & done here by my faithful IMDB critics. :)

I was happy that my husband suggested at the last minute to go see Amelie -- he's a Jeunet fan.

The story is the early life of Amelie, who would seem simple on the surface, but then we learn no one really ever is simply "simple".

This is a thoughtful, romantic light-hearted movie. The only tears I cried were of happiness (I'm an emotional movie-goer). It's a sweet movie...see it if it's playing near you!

We've seen the story a million times. the movie plot is not original. But I suppose I'm mesmerized by all the dancing.

One thing I HAVE to say is that I am quite impressed that they have so many talented ballet dancers who are semi-decent actors & good looking. I'd say each of the dancers was fantastic (though I know nothing about ballet), and they all gave convincing performances. usually, something lacks.

Anyway, it's one of the happy films that's great for teens...and adults like me (30 something). (if only Jody didn't "spend the night" with Cooper...argh! Where is your DISCIPLINE, girlfriend?! ;)

The only reason I rented this movie was because of Mr. Beefy. Yes, I am a bulldog owner, and Nigel watched this movie right next to me. For a minute. Then he had to go pee & didn't want to come back inside. I don't blame him - he can smell a bad movie better than any dog.

I usually avoid Adam Sandler movies because he overuses the toiletbowl humor. This is the first time I ever paid to see one (I usually just catch them on cable), & Sandler truly did not disappoint me -- I doubt I will ever go out of my way to spend money on one of his films again.

This movie is no doubt a favorite of people who still laugh at fart jokes. Or maybe if you're a 11-16 year old boy. Ooooh...boobies! Big deal. How many times are they going to use that gimmick?

Would you believe I even fell asleep during this movie? Luckily, I woke up in time to see Ozzy Osbourne -- another fellow bulldog owner. :)

I watch this movie every time it's on. Why? Plain & simple: for the cheese. This is such a cheesy film...who was expecting a cinematic classic?

My favorite parts are the scenes when Rusty & Audrey are off on their own. Who can't relate to going crazy dancing at a party, or living large when you have a fake ID? (You haven't experienced life then! ;)

If you're looking for a GOOD comedy movie, stay away from this. But if you're looking for a goofy, tongue-in-cheek movie, that can appeal to the common denominator, then watch it.

So, how many times are we going to see the story of a grouchy old man & his saint-of-a-wife who split up?

That's the story, with a few ho-hum subplots: adult son contemplates an affair, daughter dates her assistant -- but at least they want their parents to get back together.

It's a nice movie to watch...with your parents. Or, to rent for your parents.

This movie seemed like it was written by someone who had seen too many "spring break" movies of the 80's, yet they wanted to do something "serious" -- no gratuitous sex/nudity, etc.

Honestly, the only reason I watched this movie was because Mark Harmon was in it - for like 3 scenes. I always wonder why celebrities would appear in such bad movies. Hard to believe that Mark Harmon is THAT hard up for work. Maybe this was a favor to someone?

I think I missed something here.

The plotline of the movie was tried & true, I guess that's why we have another one. The characters all seemed to muddle along...I kind of wanted them to show off their weirdness a little more. The best scene was when the brother (Jason?) tells off April in the club -- very well done!

But I still have a few questions.. That bruise on April's head...I thought that was Karposi Sarcoma (sp?), one of the precursors of the AIDS virus. It would make sense.

At what point did Chad fall out of love w/ Claire? I feel like I missed something...though I rewound that part of the movie a few times.

The ending was predictable..but was anyone in the house?

I agree w/ one of the reviewers on here, who said the movie should've been titled "Burned". I think the version I saw was called "Some Girls" but dont quote me on that -- I just set the VCR to tape after I read the description..

Chalk it up to one of those latenight guilty pleasures..

I caught this movie just after it began. I spent the next 2 hours trying to figure out if this was a "serious" movie or a parody.

1) I can't believe the acting was so bad. Reese was great. But everyone else...I'm so embarrassed for them! The Mother (didn't recognize her, so she shouldn't be embarrassed, I guess). Kiefer Sutherland -- who I once thought (guess we all did) that he was brilliant in Lost Boys & other movies from years ago, is now doing SUCH a cheesy movie? How could he stoop so low? Who talked him into this script!? Brooke Shields?! I've never seen her look so bad! At first, couldn't figure out if it was her or an actress who looked a lot like her, because she looked HORRIBLE! Her outfits made her look dowdy, her facial expressions...geez, she didn't look enough like the anal wife she was supposed to portray.

2) My high school students could write a better script than that! PULEEZE! An illiterate girl who "discovers herself" so poetically?! I think not! I was laughing during that car scene w/ Bob. No illiterate girl would use words like that and not be able to read "The cat drinks milk." By the way, how was she able to read the menu in the restaurant w/ Bob? Trust me, if a kid can't read a sentence like that, they will struggle over a menu -- noticeably.

I found nothing redeeming in this movie. I still can't figure out if it was supposed to be a parody or not. Please tell me it is..

This movie happened to be on this morning..I caught it a few minutes after it started. After recognizing all the female leads (okay, I couldn't ID Parker Posey), I thought this might be a good movie.

But I kept waiting for something GOOD to happen.

Yes, I enjoyed watching it, but it basically was about the mundane life of being a temp.

I enjoyed the performances.. I hadn't seen Alana Ubach in anything since "Denise Calls Up" (great move, BTW). Toni Collette's accent was detectable rather often, but she's still fun to watch. And Lisa Kudrow...I'm convinced she can only play one kind of character. Or perhaps she just plays each character the same..

For something different, check out this movie. It's more of a chick flick (though it's not "feminine"), so ladies - your men will probably lose interest in this one..

THIS was supposed to be Rob Lowe's comeback movie?!!? Puh-LEEZE!

I have to admit that I waited up till 3:30am to see how this turned out...but hey! I don't have to work tomorrow.

James Spader is horribly miscast in this role of a Bill-Gatesian nerd. Rob Lowe is perfect as the psycho. But this story...oh, it was sooo bad!

We never really DO figure out who the heck Rob's character really is. Navy? Stud boy? Andrew Cunanan? I dunno, maybe I missed that part when I was flipping channels.

This is definitely one of those trashy movies to watch when there's nothing else on. I KNOW you know the feeling.

After watching the credits (and verifying it on here), the only reason I'd watch the movie again is to catch David Duchovny as a "Club Goer". I must've been flipping the channels! ;)

Okay, so the movie went straight to video. If I had paid to see this, I would've been disappointed. But, at 2 am in the morning, alone at night, it's a pretty good fright! (hey, that rhymes!)

Story about a young boy who is traumatized & decides not to speak after finding a murdered boy.

Actually, the movie is more about a dysfunctional family.

A nice movie, not too upsetting. It touches on several psychological problems of children..

During a sleepless night, I was switching through the channels & found this embarrassment of a movie. What were they thinking?

If this is life after "Remote Control" for Kari (Wuhrer) Salin, no wonder she's gone nowhere.

And why did David Keith take this role? It's pathetic!

Anyway, I turned on the movie near the end, so I didn't get much of the plot. But this must've been the best part. This nerdy college kid brings home this dominatrix-ish girl...this scene is straight out of the comic books -- or the cheap porn movies. She calls the mother anal retentive and kisses the father "Oh, I didn't expect tongue!" Great lines!

After this, I had to see how it ended..

Well, of course, this bitch from hell has a helluva past, so the SWAT team is upstairs. And yes...they surround her! And YES YES! The kid blows her brains out!!!! AHAHHAHAHAHA!!

This is must-see TV.

Saw this at the Miami Film Festival, and honestly, I couldn't wait till it was over. My friend, however, thought it was great.

The plot is about this man who comes from the future. He mesmerizes women, though we never exactly learn how (except that he smells great).

He ends up living in a rural home with 2 women, one of whom he came searching for, the other was incidental, and their lives have never been happier.

I found the movie to be very slow moving, and repetitive. I considered even leaving before it finished..

A brilliant comedy about The Dinner Game, in which several well-to-do men bring "idiots" to dinner just to make fun of them. Of course, the fool never catches on..

However, we never really DO make it to a full dinner, in this movie.

Instead, we find ourselves stuck in a man's apartment, and follow through his dilemma of trying to get rid of his idiot.

This movie is kind of like The Cable Guy, but not as silly. There's a real plot in this one.

Anyway, we laughed so hard in this movie that we cried. It's excellent!

One of my favorite teen movies from the 80s, about 3 boys who just want to have sex. But don't let the plot fool you; there are some touching and realistic parts as well. In fact, I always cry at the ending.

The movie has a great soundtrack, too. Any GenXer will know the songs all too well!

I remember seeing this movie when I was in 1st grade (early 70s). It's about a little boy born to a family of arrow-headed people (I think it was a 'tribe' of pointy-headed people), and the kid was born w/ a round head. Well, the kid was an outcast..and I think I remember he had to wear a pointy hat. But no one accepted him. So, the kid ran away w/ his dog (for some reason, I remember a song called "Me & my Arrow" being played at this time). At the end of the movie, the kid's head become pointy.
