Just what I expected

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

My roommate showed me this film and she told me the general summary: a boy who carries on through life until he is introduced to porn. This introduction leads him into a life of chaos ranging from failing classes to not even succeeding in swim meets. Simple right? Heck no. This movie is so twisted in itself that it changes paces and the message is so unclear, until you're slapped in the face at the end by the public health announcement. Basically, Justin Peterson was your everyday dude. Doing everything a dude should do and being everything a dude should be. He's popular, has a smart, beautiful girlfriend who loves him with all her heart, and is a key player on the school's swim team. Even his family is perfect! That is until...*gasp* Justin is shown porn. Soon his life spirals out of control and Justin loses everything. He gets to the point where he can't even go to the library, go to school, swim, nor sleep without logging (hacking) into someone's computer. Top this off with a crazy girl who got mad...because he didn't want to sleep with her because he didn't feel right? Maybe she didn't look like the porn he was looking at? I don't even know. It's all a blur at that point. Basically, you're put through 87 minutes of cringe-worthy dialogue about how Justin's porn addiction is wrong and how you kids will end up like this if you keep surfing the internet. Yes, you kids! The movie's main message is how the digital age is making kids addicted to porn and how their lives are going to spiral into this deep abyss and your kid won't recover. They even try to show it in all ages, by showing the YOUNGER BROTHER looking and sharing his porn pics too. Like, who wrote this?! And it's not like the boy is masturbating, he's literally looking at pics and smiling. Maybe he is, but the movie never shows it, so the audience just sits there and awkwardly watches as this boy intensely stares at the same sexy pictures cycling through the entire movie. It's so...off-putting. I don't even know how I made it through.In all honesty, it was funny and gave me a great laugh. Now, of course this movie holds some obvious truths. But Lifetime should have just left it alone or have taken the time to seriously plan out the movie and it's message. Instead, we got a film they show kids in health class. In all, I say watch it for laughs and something different. But if you take your movies seriously, please don't watch this because you will be sorely disappointed.

SPOILER ALERTA lot of people say this movie is all Christian propaganda. I don't think it is. It's a movie where the women save the men and where men are displayed as creatures of simplicity (porn, yeah).None the less, I was drunk today and felt like watching it. I watched it before when I was a kid and even back then I kept thinking "why does he not masturbate?" This young man spends so many hours in front of porn that it eventually ruins his life but he never gets it on. He never pleases himself. Is that a subliminal message?Another goof (or, maybe this is some kind of subliminal message too) is that the so-perfect-and-not-shallow-at-all mother of the family wants to take a trip in the beginning of the movie. The husband hesitates, and she leans on him and whispers in his hear "ill make it worth your while". Yeah, okay, hoe?Then afterward, she rants on and on about how women are more than just vaginas and breasts which Jeremy finds attractive in the movie.WHY does he kill himself? Is it REALLY, or has it REALLY, ever been that hard to stop watching porn? I don't get it, what kind of reality does the makers live in? WHY did that slut bang her head bloody when Jeremy rejected her? She was so popular and loved, she didn't need to bleed to convince people that Jeremy hit her.I think this is a movie people should watch at school. At least it showed me back in the day when I was 16 and it was new how to question film makers and scripts.Imm'a give this 2 stars, because of the hot slutty girl.

First of all, I don't know what people were expecting when they sat down and turned on a Lifetime movie named, "Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life". Were you looking for a blockbuster? The title tells you up front, that this will be an after-school-special type of flick. Add in the fact that it is shown on Lifetime Television For Women, and you know it's going to be anti-porn.As a TV movie, it wasn't that bad. No worse than the rest of the movies they play on LMN. It kept me entertained, which was the point. Then again, I love Lifetime movies. Sometimes it's nice to just put your mind in neutral and enjoy a silly or cheesy movie on a lazy afternoon.Go into it with that attitude and you'll probably enjoy it. If you want a thriller or an action flick, look elsewhere (obviously!). This was cute, cheesy, and not a horrible way to spend an hour and a half.5/10

First,I'd like to address the disappointing amount of people who made comments just say, "The mommy didn't know about computers" and claiming that this is some flaw of the writers, however, I wish to provide my review and clear up some statements I've read on various places.First I'll begin at the end. I've heard a lot of "The ending is dry" and "the ending sucks", however, when one looks at the ending symbolically its a master piece. It is clearly, to me at least, a symbol of a rebirth, baptism. Justin plunges into the water and has a flashback and the jumps out of the water. The viewer sees Justin's flashback of the past three months, all the yelling, happiness, drama etc. By Justin coming out of the water he is leaving his past behind, you could say he has been cleansed of his sins, perhaps. This is just my take, too much English class.Now onto the acting of Jeremy, Justin. While it was decent he had some speech issues that somewhat bothered me such has how he pronounced the letter "s" and some of his words sounded weird, one that sticks into my mind is the word equation. However, it was decent, didn't make my jaw drop, but he's young... brave role to take up, however.Now onto the "its crap because this flaw..." people. I read one comment which stated that the mother was shocked about deleting history and such ,however, she works around computers etc. First, one can gather that the mother is around her 40's or perhaps late 30's. She talks about getting old and not being sexy anymore, thats why I gathered this. Anyways, because of this even though she works with computers she may not be "hip" with all the stuff one can do on the internet. I have also seen people mention that her younger son plays Grand Theft Auto, so this is a flaw. However, I see it furthering her as a character that again, is not "hip" with all the technology. Perhaps, she might not know about game ratings, perhaps she doesn't think its too bad, and hey, maybe the husband bought it. Now, some people also talk about how the porn addiction is so stupid because 1) he never masturbates 2) the porn isn't hardcore 3) upon one view he suddenly notices women 4) he never has privacy 5)He looks 17 but he hasn't looked at porn before. 1) do you really think lifetime would just show someone jacking off... look into it... he's in his room naked sometimes... you can gather he has done it. 2)Again, do you think that they'd show a lot of hardcore porn, its a movie against it... would they be showing it as well, moreover there are a couple scenes where people actually having sex is shown. 3)He doesn't notice women what is happening is he is looking at perhaps a girls belly button and then he sees images from sites he's visited flashing in his mind. 4) The family is supposed to be close, they're supposed to be the perfect family with the perfect son, and then porn comes and everything comes down. The wouldn't want too much privacy. 5)Again, this is supposed to be the "perfect family" by making him somewhat innocent and perfect more can be torn down.But seriously folks, saying a work is "crap" because they didn't show hardcore porn or an underage kid masturbating is somewhat, ignorant. There are these magical things called censors, and they send directors happy messages of what they think is inappropriate in work and the bad thing goes away. Do you really think they would actually show hardcore porn on TV... they can't even show Bart Simpsons butt on Fox, but they can show hardcore porn? For God sakes take a high school English class and get some common sense. It is sad to see most people talking about "Jeremy is hot" or "ha-yuck ha-yuck they shown no naughty pictures and then made fun of him". If you people are going to talk about a movie and say it provides no content with some "review" a middle school would get a C- on really look yourselves over, especially when you misquote and then make a judgment based on the misquote, brilliant. Oh, also bringing up actor's careers is brilliant. Oh, he's Peter Pan and she has done sex scenes. No wonder you all thought the movie sucked, you didn't actually watch it... one of the first "rules" I believe, and was taught, of literature(books, movies, theater) is you have to allow yourself to believe what is happening can happen, read "Our Town" you really think there is a town like that, God! If you're too hung up on Peter Pan, even though this movie came out two years after Peter Pan, and other actor's careers you'll never like what you're reading or watching. Half the people begin their "reviews" with "I was channel surfing", and are guys, though it is not bad to watch lifetime necessarily if you're a guy, I'm a guy for instance, perhaps you shouldn't be watching Lifetime. "WAAA it was sappy" DUH! It's freaking supposed to be. "It's about conservatives, WAA", THAT'S THE FREAKING POINT OF THE MOVIE!
