Where Trapped in a Purple Haze lacks in story, it makes up for in stars. Don't get me wrong here, the story isn't bad, it just isn't unique. In fact, I really liked the story. It's your average, run of the mill, sports hero with problems in the home who meets a girl with a drug addiction and falls victim to drug abuse himself kind of story. Throw in some teenage angst, peer pressure, hormones, a homosexual brother, denial, and prostitution and you have Trapped in a Purple Haze.
It stars Jonathan Jackson(II), best known for his role as Lucky Spencer on ABC's General Hospital, Carly Pope of the WB's Popular, and JoBeth Williams who I know best from Poltergeist I and II as Diane Freeling.
Its a great made for TV movie(those don't come around too often). The cast is amazing. The story is a little bland. It's a good anti drug movie for families to watch together, though at times it seems to glorify drug use. My vote - 10!
