From my favorite movies..
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
View MoreThis movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
View MoreIt is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
View MoreBridgette Wilson is the only draw for this film. It was fun watching Billy Madison's sweet 3rd Grade teacher portray a demented surrogate mother. She far outshines Rebecca DeMornay in the similar Hand That Rocks the Cradle.A wealthy young couple, played by Scott Cohen and the talentless Seiko Matsuda(what producer is she related to?), can't have a child of their own, so in enters Bridgette Wilson who becomes their surrogate mother.Bridgette adds such raw deviant emotion to this role which makes it worthy to see alone. I had no idea she was capable of portraying such a violent evil woman, but she pulls it off brilliantly.Peter Boyle fans, don't bother, as he wasn't used much. This is basically for Bridgette Wilson fans, who want to see a darker side to Billy Madison's item of lust.
View MoreThis movie is pretty much like any other thriller/drama...a pretty woman shows up and wreaks havoc on an unsuspecting family. However, this was a lot better than Poison Ivy or the Hand That Rocks the Cradle because the reason the main character (Bridgette Wilson) hates the family is rather compelling. It appears that the husband as a teenager was involved in a car accident that killed Bridgette's parents. After they were killed, she was forced to live with a family where her foster dad was a pervert and repeatedly raped the girl (When she was somewhere between 12 and 15) and impregnated her, then she miscarried. Her anger is directed not only at her foster dad (who she kills as a teen), but at the man she feels is responsible for placing her in that situation--the other driver. This twist is about the only good thing in this slow movie--instead of showing her wandering around acting psychotic, they should have done more with this.
View MoreDon't be fooled and don't waste your time. This movie was SOOO bad that I don't even want to waste time writing about it. This is only a warning to others not to see it unless you enjoy bad writing, blood and a full-on loony as the main character. Peter Boyle and Scott Cohen are too fine of actors to put their energies into such a pathetic film. What were they thinking?
View MoreThis movie has a variation of the plot where a smiling stranger enters another couple's lives and wreaks havoc. Here it's a pretty young woman who is hired to be a surrogate mother for a childless couple. She says she's a pre-law student wanting to earn money for her education but soon it is shown that she's deceiving them and problems start to arise. Unfortunately this isn't a great telling of this story; the pace always seems to be off a beat or two throughout.What this movie does have going for it is a fine performance by Bridgette Wilson as the young woman. She gets all she can out of the role and definitely bears watching in the future. I would only recommend this film to someone who is a big fan of the thriller genre, as there are plenty better than this one, but a dedicated fan might get some enjoyment out of it. Peter Boyle, Steven Gilborn and Marne Patterson are among the others in the cast.
