Lying Eyes (1996)
Fun movie
I'm a movie Connoisseur. I mean I truly understand, appreciate, recognize, and respect good films (Sophie's Choice, The Color Purple, Forrest Gump, The God Father, etc.). This film posses none of the qualities that make these films great! The acting is pedestrian; I mean, it's not that it's bad acting, it's just, so, average. The plot, theme, and "twists" are very predictable. BUT, for some reason, this is a good, fun movie. Maybe it's so good for its simplicity, for its modesty, or for its innocence.
I came home on a Sunday evening with my girl friend, and as usual, she turned to the lifetime network and began to watch a typical Lifetime I-hate-men movie. I sat down next to her and began to observe (a rarity for me), but for some reason, I was hooked on the movie. I like this movie, and I would highly recommend it to anybody that just wants to sit back and enjoy a simple movie with an obvious protagonist and an obvious antagonist. This movie is intended to entertain you, not to get you to think. It's just a fun movie to watch, and it actually sends out a great message.
