Sex & Mrs. X

Description

Joanna Scott (Linda Hamilton) whose husband has just left her for a younger woman, is a prominent New York journalist assigned to do a story on a secretive and successful Paris madam. Though not interested at first writing the 'sexposé', she realizes that a month in Paris might do her good. Soon after meeting the sophisticated and successful Madame Simone (Jacqueline Bisset), Joanna finds herself the one being interviewed. It doesn't take long for this worldly madam to size up Joanna and strip away her cold veneer. What is revealed is an insecure woman who needs to feel desirable again. Like a modern day Pygmalion who educates and refines beautiful women, Madame Simone offers her expertise in helping Joanna rediscover her sexuality and sense of self. Drama. Not Rated. 91 Minutes.

Renewed Confidence .......2006-07-23

This movie is for any woman who has forgotten herself. It reminds you that you have to love yourself, before you can love someone else. After watching Jacqueline Bisset transform Linda Hamilton into a sexy, more confident woman, I felt that I could do anything I wanted to. It's my favorite feel good movie.
Please watch it, you won't be dissapointed.

Linda Hamilton's Tour de France.......2006-07-21

I can't believe this was a Lifetime movie.It does make us wonder about Linda Hamilton's post-Terminator career choices.She's no Sarah Connor,future mother of mankind's savior,but a mousy journalist investigating Jacqueline Bisset,who may or may not be a madam.Linda Hamilton seems to be discomfitted in this movie,and with its awful script,it's no wonder why.

Jacqueline Bisset plays a Frenchwoman who combines the Professor from "My Fair Lady" with the campiness of Mame.She's being campy&clearly enjoying it.

Linda Hamilton is "transformed" from being an ugly American to an erotic Mademoiselle through buying lingerie,having a loooong dressing room sequence&watching pornos.Having a fling with a hot photographer apparently perks her up too.

This movie makes good for early morning watching (say 4 am,before going to work?),and it makes for good campy fun.If you're having a Bad Movie Night,put this on your list,have some French rose wine&chow down on chocolate croissants!

"Sex&Mrs.X" is hardly an epic,but it's a PERFECT GUILTY PLEASURE!

Great motivational film for any break-up!!.......2005-09-27

I simply love this film! It's great for any woman in any circumstance, but if you've been feeling "BLAH", then this is the perfect film for you! You'll be strutting high and feeling good about yourself - great girls' night out flick!!!!

This was a cool little lifetime film..........2005-05-31

I always liked this movie and it inspires me to want to go to Paris someday. It was great to watch Linda Hamilton's character go from this repressed career woman to a woman with Joie de viev (I think I spelled that right). Very inspirational and enjoyable to watch and a bit of a lesson for many American woman who love trudging around in greasy old jogging clothes, shopping at Target and then come home asking, "Why doesn't my husband make love to me anymore" or "Why is he leaving me" or "Why isn't he romantic". Watch this film and you'll know why. It definitely takes a little something from both sides to get inspired.

Hors D'Oeuvres + wine + someone fun + THIS FILM.......2004-11-09

This is an ideal film to share with wine and hors d'oeuvres and someone fun, even if that delightful person is the one you see in the mirror.

This is one of my all-time fun movies. When I found out it was being released on DVD...I bought it immediately.

Jacqueline Bisset is so incredible in the role of Madame Simone, and seeing her read the other characters while giving them a wry look is a pleasure.

I do hope they do a part II. I would love to see the cast brought together again for a second part. It deserves a second part. Only one film with Jacqueline Bisset interpreting Madame Simone is not enough.

The Tide of Time.......2007-08-21

When history passes over it is people who are forgotten. Looking back on any period in history it is difficult, but not hard, to see the faces of individuals and how they felt about the defining moments of their lives. When the Kniffens and McCuans were tried and convicted in Kern County, Califoria of crimes of child abuse it couldn't have been a more perfect time for it to happen.
At that time in the early 1980s no one knew just how life-threatening one allegation of child abuse could be. All it took was an allegation by a paranoid schizophrenic and highy mentally unstable woman who could not tell fact from fantasy and two families were torn apart and used as scape-goats for the government's inability to end child molestation.
There are some similarities between this case and the McMartin trial as well as other so-called "child-sex rings" of the 1980s that resulted in "witch-hunting" trials but this case saddened me more because of the abuse of legal power over its people.
The entire justice system of Kern County violated every civil right law in the constitution and got away with it in the name of "saving children."
This film more so than any other on the subject shows just how the children were coerced into believing that they had taken part in acts of depravity the likes of which no one can even imagine.
Finally what you didn't see about the McMartin trial was just how the children had false memories planted in their mind and used to put away their innocent parents for 13 years.
What is so sad about this story is that those 13 years will never be given back to those families torn apart simply because no reversal of errors can turn back the hand of time.
There was a moment when Brenda Kniffen in the film begins to give up hope and she admits to herself and her husband that their sons childhoods have passed them by and that their only hope left is to hope for the happiness of their sons wherever they may be.
There are wrongs beyond redemption and what the California "justice" system did to these families can never be forgiven.

Kern County Witchhunts.......2006-04-02

I recently viewed this movie on TV and decided to order it for my own use. You see the Kern County Witchhunt was not limited to Kern County; it extended into Tulare County also. I know because my family has been living a nightmare because of false charges of child molestation since 1985. God instructed me to create a support group for innocent prisoners in 1989 which I did. I wrote several articles about false accusations in Tulare County for a local Tulare County newspaper and one article for a small newspaper in Bakersfield, California concerning the subject of false charges of child molestation. My son, daughter, and me was on a local radio station in Kern County two times discussing this subject. I named a name of local police officer who terrorized little children into lying about their parents. As a result, it was pay back time for me and after they along with others succeeded in brainwashing my grown daughter into saying I told her not to testify, that God would not like it and that she could be gotten for perjury, I spent over 5 years in prison for witness intimidation for allegingly stating the statements that my daughter claimed I said, but I never even talked to her about testifying at all. I was totally innocent and am currently on supervise release for another 2 years. Anyone who does not believe that thousands of parents in Kern,Tulare,Kings,Fresno,Butte,San Bernadino counties were imprisoned on false charges of child molestation is highly wrong because it truly did occur in the Child Abuse War of the 1980's. This movie is really a representation of the thousands who suffered as a result of this abuse against the family and I am thankful that this excellent movie was made.

Just ask My Children review.......2005-09-02

Acting very realistic. As the story unfolds you can just see these actions happening in your own life and terminatiog in a jail sentence. Even though the authorities in this movie really investigated and were concerned for the children's safety, the evidence seemed to pile up against the parents. Good story line.

A wonderful movie on a facinating topic.......2007-01-17

Dawn Anna is my aunt and she's the greatest aunt ever. We're always in touch and she makes me laugh all the time. She's there for me when I need her, and when Columbine happened we were there for her, Bruce(Bink) as well as my cousins. When I saw this movie on Lifetime I used a whole box of tissues. It's one thing to know about the subject..but it's another when it was your family who lost someone so special and you see it on TV. I don't think that airing this movie was a bad thing for us and the family. If anything I think it has helped everyone find some closure in even the smallest way. And I also think that people should know about the signs of violence. It's an awesome movie. I thank Debra Winger and the rest of the cast every day. I think they did a fabulous job at making everything in this movie like being in their home in reality. One thing I've learned from this movie(as well as being around her, Bink and my cousins) is that there's never a time when somebody should hate another person. You never know when they might be gone. I miss you soo much Lulu, my heart is still broken.

A Lifetime Orginal Movie: Dawn Anna.......2006-11-10

Seeing that I bought this as a gag gift, I have not watched it. I also have not given this gift and dont plan on ever watching it.

The Brightest Among Lifetime's Rare Movie Gems. .......2006-06-30

As well as Human Trafficking, Dawn Anna is a very well-done Lifetime movie, and its emotional gamut is both wide and varied. From the beginning of this story, I was impressed to watch a strong, single mother of four manage to raise truly good and cooperative children while getting by with very little money as a school teacher. Loved by both her own kids and students alike, this really is a case of bad things happening to good people.

The brain tumor seems so incredibly unfair, but I think that both the network of support and her own resiliency to recover paved the way for her to cope with the upcoming tragedy of losing her youngest daughter Lauren, a sweet, bright, and talented girl during the massacre of Columbine High back in 1999.

Dawn Anna and her kids are likable and admirable, proving that you don't have to be financially endowed to be rich. Bravo, Lifetime, and it would be fantastic if you would give us more movies of this quality!

A gripping, documentary about a mom and her daughter.......2006-06-29

Since the tragedy which happened on April 20, 1999, this film centers on Dawn Anna's personal struggle with brain cancer and then, the tragic death of her daughter from the Columbine High School massacre. Taking place in Littleton, Colorado, the film revolves around a tender relationship between mother and daughter. Then fate took over and changed everything. Fortunately the intense shootout was omitted due its incredible violence. Beautifully acted by Debra Winger who mirrored Dawn Anna's incredible courage and then, facing the pain in the loss of her beloved daughter. Incredible acting resembling real-life events at and around Columbine is noted. Due to the disturbing contents of the film, it is not recommended for children under the age of 17. Other than that, It is a film well worth seeing; though you may need a box of kleenex handy.

This Woman Is Amazing.......2005-11-12

Dawn Anna was my 7th Grade teacher and I can tell you first hand that she is an amazing woman. I was a handful when I was in middle school and this woman never gave up on me. I pray for her everyday and someday I hope that I can get back in touch with her to tell her the impact that she made on my life.

Great romantic comedy.......2007-07-21

Ticks all the boxes for a great romantic comedy. Nice little twists and turns throughout. Eddie McClintock was great in this. So thankful it got a decent dvd release.

This film is also known as Confessions of a Young Bride.

One of those films made specially for women, that most women will find entertaining, and most men hate..........2007-01-24

"Confessions of an American Bride" is not a dvd I would buy, but it is the kind of movie you probably won't regret renting, if you know what you are getting into.

The main character is Samantha (Shannon Elizabeth), a young woman about to get married to Ben (Eddie McClintock), the man of her dreams. But as the "Big day" approaches, wedding arrangements (cake, flowers, guests...) turn into big problems, and Sam and Ben realize their tastes are more different that they previously thought. Things get even more complicated when Luke (Geoff Stults), the man Sam had a crush on during university, starts to work with her and ends up admitting to having a crush on her. What will Sam do? And who is really the man of her dreams?

"Confessions of an American Bride" is not an excellent movie, but it isn't an awful one either. From my point of view, this is one of those films made specially for women, that most women will find entertaining, and most men hate. Now, whether to rent it or not is your call...

Belen Alcat

PS: If you want an outstandingly good "chick movie" that both women and men will love, give "Bridget Jones' diary" a try :)

Fun.......2007-01-10

This is a fun movie. It is movie good to spend spare time but not one that you have to see. Only for fun not a trscendental movie.

Lisa Jankovic.......2006-06-29

I did not know what to expect when I bought this movie. But I really enjoyed it.

Elizabeth Shannon shines in her role as Sam. I must admit I never really liked her in the American Pie movies, but this movie has really changed my opinion of her.

A cute movie that anyone who enjoys a wedding and everything that comes along with it.

Lifetime, Television for women and gay men.......2005-07-09

First off, if you've ever had doubts about a current relationship, this movie is for you. I just got done watching it with a fine bottle of muscato wine. I must say this movie has exemplified almost all of my feelings I have when I'm in a serious relationship. What if there is someone else out there? What if I never sleep with another man again? What if the relationship does a complete 180? What if the man of my current dreams isn't what he seems? I felt that almost all of these issues were brought into perspective in this movie. The man she meets seems too good to be true, her crush from a previous life comes back to bring all of her feelings and or fears (any normal person's fears anyway) into the forefront less than 6 months before her wedding day! The movie is comically laid out, little tidbits that break into the movie of her in a perfectly pristine environment in all white explaining her doubts, fears and all of her desperate wantings which is good, it is as if you're brought into her mind after hitting a pause button as she narrates. I fully recommend this movie to any woman or man who has any doubts about the person they're currently seeing or are fully serious about and have doubts. Total girl movie night/sleepover flick. Light-hearted with a lot of "oh no, oh no, oh no, don't do that" moments to keep the fun rolling along. This is officially my first review of any movie an amazon and I hope it is helpful.

After making a name for herself as a model, Angie Harmon hit the big leagues with a recurring role on Law and Order. Lifetime's Video Voyeur was her first opportunity to prove she could carry a production by herself. Harmon stars as real-life homemaker-turned-crusader Susan Wilson, who moved into the suburban Louisiana house of her dreams in the 1990s. Her neighbors are community leaders, the Glovers. Steve Glover (Jamey Sheridan), the church deacon, has nursed a crush on her since high school. (Although Sheridan is a couple of decades older than Harmon, both give convincing performances.) Wilson's dream turns into a nightmare when she finds that Glover has been secretly taping her. She decides to press charges but discovers that his actions aren't illegal. With the support of her family and friends, she decides to do something about it in this inspiring story from director Tim Hunter (River's Edge). --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Description

Imagine having your most private, intimate moments caught on tape against your will. That's exactly what happened to Susan Wilson (Angie Harmon) and her family. After moving into their dream house in a quiet Louisiana town, the Wilsons are horrified to discover that their trusted neighbor Steve Glover (Jamey Sheriden) has installed video cameras into their home without their knowledge. And they are just as disturbed to learn that the laws against this kind of virtual stalking are inadequate. The shy, demure Susan Wilson makes a decision that alters her life: Fight back and protect individuals' basic rights to privacy. "Video Voyeur: The Susan Wilson Story" is a gripping, real-life drama. BASED ON A TRUE STORY.

I could get over how bad the acting is, Lifetime TV movies have the worst acting and scripts in the cable TV industry, as does A&E, TNT, and all the rest of these coperation robber barrons.

A family changed by a video voyeur.......2005-01-15

WOW! This movie rocks. This is a movie about Susan Wilson and her family and the effects of their life being taped with out your permission. Susan was not going to sit there and do nothing, she stood up and made people who are doing these crimes accountable for them. This is a true story about a women who changed the law about video Voyeurs. And for those who may not know what Video Voyeur is it is the tapeing of your life, personal moments, sexual moments, and things to that effect with out your permission. Video Voyeurs can happen any where. Susan was safe in her own home, or so she thought! This was a GREAT lifetime original movie........

Meant for All TV Movie Fans!.......2004-07-08

"Video Voyeur" is an emotional thrill ride into the life of Susan Wilson, a woman whose perfect life is brought to a halt when she finds tiny spy cams everywhere in her house. Although this is not one of my top film faves, I recommend it for anyone who loves TV movies (especially those awesome Lifetime dramas!). You will truly feel Susan's struggle to cope with the embarrassment,anger, and frustration of this ordeal because this type of violation can happen to any of us. Plus, Angie Harmon is excellent in her role!

Excellent TV Movie.......2004-05-26

This is an excellent made for TV movie. Starring Angie Harmon, Jamey Sheridan (both in the Law & Order franchise) and Dale Midkiff, this is about a family who move to Louisiana and their friendly neighbour, who happens to be a Deacon in the church, plants cameras in the house and spies on them.

What's make this hit home is that this is true and could happen to anyone. It makes you think about all the daft things you do when alone (like singing in the shower!) when you think no-one's looking.

There are great performances all round, from the whole cast. I've only seen Angie Harmon on Law & Order and was pleasantly surprised by how good an actress she is. Dale Midkiff is also very good in this, as he gets older he gets better and so do the parts he's getting, and Jamey Sheridan is excellent as the creepy neighbour. TV movies are usually run of the mill but this is very good. Much better than the garbage that's made here in the UK.

Description

Sunni (Kari Wuhrer, TV's "Anaconda," "Higher Learning," TV's "Sliders") is a beautiful singer with an attitude, and is about to record her first album. Deacon (Peter Outerbridge, "Mission to Mars," TV's "Millenium"), is an ex-tycoon producer whose popularity has gone downhill and who thinks he can make it big again with this young sex kitten. He tries everything to turn her tin ear into gold, but she just can't carry a tune. Drowning his sorrows at a karaoke bar, he stumbles upon a young housewife (Gail O'Grady, TV's "American Dreams," "NYPD Blue," "China Beach) who is more at home in the kitchen than behind a microphone, but has an amazing voice. He convinces her to lend her voice to what she believes is a demo tape. Her voice is dubbed over Sunni's entire album which ultimately hits the top of the charts. The fans go wild and demand a live concert. Will the two women meet? How will Deacon handle the scam he has pulled? Will the fans get the live concert they crave?

A really cool movie........2007-01-05

Yeah, it's a B movie, but there are some wonderful things to point out. It was originally released on VH1 as "Out of Sync". I happened to catch it and all the cliche'd characters and catchy songs totally got me into it. Gail O' Grady is absolutely hot and her son in the movie (who's actually in the now defunct band, Serial Joe) reminds me of when I was young trying to find direction in music. For a TV movie it totally rocked and I could watch the ending song "If Love Could Only Live (Online)" a hundred times. From what I've found, that song was written and recorded by Kim Bingham with her band, "The Kim Band", but I haven't been able to find it...just a snippet from her website. As for Serial Joe and the movie soundtrack, there are no traces of it. If you haven't seen this movie, it's a real gem and comes with some great laughs...PLUS you can learn a thing or two on how to deal with your troublesome teenagers!!!

One Great and Interesting movie!!!.......2006-07-25

I liked this movie--good plot, good acting and Kuri Wuhrer nude--what else do you need? She doesn't have a voice and she plays the part of one stupid singer who can't sing rather well--but she is good at it. The other actors are good also, especially the one with the voice--she is one good singer and she is beautiful. The plot is great and easy to follow. This is one B movie to watch!!!!

Re: Singer for "Lip Service".......2004-11-07

As per the previous reviewer's inquiry as to who the singer in this movie was...it was (an actress herself) someone named "Karen Le Blanc". As far as I can tell there is no available soundtrack for this movie. Hope this helps......A very well done movie appreciated as I am a musician myself. Very good songs too.

Don't give me Lip.......2004-10-24

I loved this movie when I saw it on VH1. It was called Out of Sync. They had to change the title since there was another movie of the same title it appears as I have been looking for this movie. I thought the movie was funny and helped me get over a little of my stage fright and the music is pretty good.

Superficiality at its best.......2003-11-11

POSSIBLE SPOILER

This movie is probably the most complete compendium of commonplaces I have seen in years. Every cliché in the book is there, from the failed musician in rehab, to the unscrupulous producers, to the frustrated housewife, to the mindless bimbo. Oh, by the way, in the subplot department we find the unsupportive husband, the moronic teenage son and the angelical little daughter.

I'm not saying that you can't have a good time watching this movie, if you find a moment in which you don't want to occupy your head in more demanding tasks, but the shortcomings are impossible to conceal. There is no character development whatsoever, the kind of "comedy of errors" procedure is specially annoying since nobody can understand why do they want to complicate things in such a stupid way, the ending is "Singing in the Rain" like (and that should be enough to get the picture), and so on.

The acting doesn't help a lot the efforts of the, apparently gifted, screenwriters to put some intelligent humor in the dialog. The male main character is appalling and the rest of his male colleagues are not much better, except for the one who plays the cajoling producer, which is even worse. However, it is fair to say that the difference with the women performances is monumental. Gail O'Grady gives a dignified rendering of her one-sided character and, although the script forces her to do stupid things, she manages to remain lovable to the audience. Kari Wuhrer is superb. She succeeds in taking her dumb-brunette role and pulling a person out of it, with different facets and an opening for development, which is aborted because she doesn't get enough time to work on it. But this is not her fault, of course. I would love to see her in a really interesting role in which she could show what she can, as well as how great she looks, which is undeniable, by the way.

Tailored to the most hard-core Star Trek fans, Mind Meld gets you up close and personal with the stars of the original television series. Its premise? Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner sitting together and having a quiet, earthy chat about old times. There isn't much new information about the show--though old cast resentments are addressed--but viewers learn a great deal about the personal lives of everyone's favorite spacemen. The two discuss the pressures of filming a weekly show and the difficulties of maintaining one's dignity as an actor while wearing pointy ears. The personalities of both men shine through and it becomes obvious why they were cast as they were; Nimoy really is more thoughtful and reserved, while Shatner is extroverted and showy. The best part of Mind Meld is witnessing the genuine fondness the two men share for each other. It's clear that they really were (and are) best friends, even when the cameras stopped rolling. --Ali Davis

This DVD is a heart to heart between two of TOS stars getting into how the crew of the Enterprise really got along, the real reason "no one" liked Shatner (not true) and the real bond between Leonard and William. A must for every Star Trek fan, and I've been one since 1966.

Deserves 100 stars!!!.......2007-08-15

I had no idea what this was when it popped up in my Amazon recommendations. I had never heard of it anywhere before. I was afraid it was some kind of low-budget and poor quality profile cobbled together from faded and scratchy archive footage by some no-name outfit out to make a quick buck. There are many of those kinds of unauthorized and completely worthless so-called documentaries being sold these days on the topic of various musical stars and groups.

But man was I wrong! This disc here is the real deal. An in-depth interview made by Shatner and Nimoy themselves especially for the fans. This is one of those rare purchases that far, far exceeded my wildest expectations and I feel was worth far more than its modest purchase price.

In fact just last year I paid mega-bucks to see Shatner and Nimoy in person at a convention, and while it was wonderful to actually be in their illustrious presence, I have to say the long, probing and detailed conversation contained on this disc was actually far more satisfying than the amusing but limited banter they served up for the fans at the con.

The two take turns interviewing each other and discussing their lives, not skirting difficult issues like alcoholism, marriage break-ups and even their sometimes strained relationship with other Star Trek cast members. It seems that realizing their mortality (both actors are now in their 70s), they have made this as a kind of legacy to set the record straight on many things.

I really loved the unhurried pace and pensive tone of the interview, which allowed for a very deep discussion which I found more satisfying than any interview with them I had ever seen before. This was truly the kind of interview with them I had always wanted to see!

And best of all, when the interview is over, we are taken right inside Leonard Nimoy's house and you even get to see where he keeps his Spock ears!

If you are not a Star Trek fan, this disc will probably mean nothing to you. But to the original series Star Trek fan, in my opinion this disc is absolutely priceless and I give it my highest recommendation possible. By all means get this!! You won't regret it.

Mind Meld-Secrets Behind the Voyage of a Lifetime.......2007-07-19

Excellent DVD. It's surprsing that after 40 plus years of knowing each other their are still things they don't know about each other. You can easily tell that Nimoy and Shatner have alot of love, warmth and friendship between each other. They discuss many topics: Star Trek (of course), personal feelings, their own deaths, and alot more. Very insightful.

Insightful and entertaining discussion between Shatner and Nimoy.......2007-04-01

Two actors born 4 days and 250 miles apart boldly followed similar lifepaths and this DVD has them in a more or less spontaneous discussion mainly about TOS. They have the rapport of a 35 year friendship and discuss insights into their personal and professional lives before, during, and since TOS. You definitely come away with more respect for these two talented brilliant actors.

Worth Buying!.......2007-03-22

William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy are the closest two friends can be, and this is really expressed in a great way in this interview/documentary. On this DVD, Leonard and Bill interview each other and ask sometimes hard questions and at other times make comments that have them rolling in laughter, and I laugh along with them. These two care about each other a lot and you can't help but walk away feeling good after watching the two get along so well. The entire interview is something that all fans of Star Trek need and would like to hear. They address feelings on death, life during and after Trek, and their personal lives besides Trek, whether they be good or bad memories. They also give a small tour of Leonard's house, which is where this film was made. Another cool thing about the interview is that it shows pictures of the two from the past, such as Nimoy getting his Spock make up on, while they are talking. If you love the original series, then you do need this DVD. I was hanging on every word the two said to each other, and it only being around 75 minutes long, I felt like it ended too soon and could have went on for much longer and wouldn't have lost it's touch.

Imagine Faust set in high school. Now imagine it inspired by the sex comedies of the '80s, and cast with actors who look like they're nearing their 10-year reunion. Kevin Pollack stars as the Mephistopheles-inspired Jerry, the guy in charge of buying souls for Satan. His latest victim is high school nerd Henry Spooner (Michael A. Goorjian) after the kid mutters under his breath how he would sell his soul to the devil in order to go out with the prettiest popular girl in the school, Lori Petler (Shiri Appleby). Henry is happy enough to use the powers of evil to become popular until he realizes it's testing his relationship with his best friend. Plus, he starts to believe he's becoming popular by himself, not because of the manipulations of the devil. Deal of a Lifetime is not a great movie, but Kevin Pollack fans will want to check it out because he's given free reign to ham it up big-time and make a lot of costume changes. --Andy Spletzer

Description

Henry Spooner would sell his soul for a date with the most popular girl in school and now he finally has the chance! Starring Kevin Pollak (The Usual Suspects) and fresh new talents Shiri Appleby ("Roswell"), Jennifer Rubin (The Crush) and Michael Goorjian (Leaving Las Vegas), Deal of a Lifetime is a "hell-arious" romantic comedy! Unpopular, un-cool and totally un-datable, Henry (Goorjian) doesn't have a hell of a chance with super-hot cheerleader Laurie Petler (Appleby) or does he? Tempted by the Devil's sleaze-ball agent (Pollak), Henry soon gets his hands on fame, fortune and Laurie. But just as his every wish begins to come true, Henry has the hilarious realization that, when it comes to a deal with the Devil, getting everything he ever wanted mayjust be a whole lot more trouble than he bargained for!

Shiri Appleby is the only reason I bought this movie. As usual Shiri turns in a great performance. Just not enough scenes with her in it.

So much Fun for those times that you just don't want to thin.......2002-12-05

This movie is completely stupid and trite and you know exactly what's going to happen the whole time. However, the production is fun and not a typical hollywood one. And everynow and then you get the feeling that the movie is making fun of itself anyway. I really enjoyed how they didn't JUST use pretty people in the movie...like the not so cool girl was actually really average looking which definately gave me a bit of respect for the movie. In the long run, i'd say don't get this movie unless your a big Mike Goorjian Fan, which i happen to be. If you are a big Mike Goorjian fan you will not be dissapointed...he's absolutely adorable in it and still shines through his talent even though the role he plays is very much against his type.

my personal review.......2001-06-11

This film has all the elements, cute actors like Shiri Appleby (which was the only reason I bought the film Ha!) All and all the acting is rather bad, Kevin Pollak was terrible, and Michael Goorigian look far too sensible to be the averrage high school geek. This film was too predictable with Henry getting the girl at the end, but my didn't they look good together.

If you are thinking of buying this film, don't,unless your a big fan of Roswell Hign (Shiri Appleby), or Party Of Five (Michael Goorgian).

I rate it three stars because Shiri Appleby shined this average low budget film up.
