Generic Predictable Horror Movie

Poor Molly Ringwald, I hate to see any of my eighties icons come to this. This film is so bad, you actually wish the feminazis would go after it. July 4, 2008

Only worth the $$ for the "scene"

Otherwise, this item is a cheap imitation of The Crush, Fear, Swimfan, etc. But I like Molly - it was nice to see her in a different type of role, as well as the "scene" most people buy this movie for!

If it werent a baseball player ...

... this movie could have earned two stars more. This teenage version of Fatal Attraction is not without merits - the main character, a troubled girl played very convincingly by Molly Ringwald, is very well sketched but for some reasen the action had to be 'spiced up' by a whole array of totally improbable incidents. The aspiring game star angle is for another age group than mine (over 40). January 28, 2008

Molly's looking good!!! Movie isn't too bad either, but not great.

Not a bad flick. I don't remember the plot, but remember Molly. If you are a Molly Ringwald fan, you will enjoy the movie. Some waist up frontal nudity from Molly, but nothing terribly vulgar. August 3, 2007

Been there, done that, seen that. Nice toy for guys with Molly fantasies though.

Let's see, where have I seen elements of this movie before... "Fatal Attraction, The Crush" both roll off my tongue immediately, but I'm sure I've seen this story line many times more, and done better at that. An obssessed young lady sets her scope on the film's lead male role, a stud college baseball player and tests his morals, then leads him little by little to the inevitable path that we've seen all too often. This movie is merely a toy for the male demographic who probably grew up watching Molly Ringwald and always fantasized about her being in a role like this. Come to think of it, this may well have been the same thing for the director of this uninspired schlock. There's only one reason to watch this flick- Molly gets it! Oh boy, does Molly get it. But even that scene is a contrived setting with nill plausibility, as can be said for this movie in general. Molly's in a sexy role, which given the release date (95) may have been in desperation to shed her "brat pack" typecasting. Come to think of it, if that was the case, why did she even think about doing "Townies," the ill fated sitcom attempt by the lucsious red-head. That aside, there's a good reason many haven't seen this flick. It didn't have a long run on any movie channels (not to mention the theater), so it was easy to miss. And its DVD release hasn't sounded anyone's alarms either. If you wanna see "Samantha" finally make it to the big leagues, go for it. But FYI, it's not a very explicit scene, not even late nite Cinemax caliber, but perhaps still satisfying enough for some. Otherwise, go for classic Molly stuff. July 6, 2007
