Touches You

Crappy film

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Blistering performances.

This should be the type of movie you can get drunk and laugh at, but the acting is even too poor for that--so poor it's actually embarrassing and uncomfortable to watch. Wasted a full bottle of wine on this. The plot is thin and really absurd. It goes beyond the realm of suspending disbelief. Even for a made for TV movie it was just awful. It starts out quite boringly, and the "climax"--if you can call it that with a straight face--was just preposterous. I don't want to delve for those of you who might prefer to watch it, don't want to be a plot spoiler. But if you do watch it prepare to be disappointed and perhaps uncomfortable. It's kind of like watching a drunk, recently dumped chic make a complete fool of themselves at a party begging everyone for attention--you just feel embarrassed on their behalf.

This is a well made for TV comedy thriller that is worth one watch. A 'Devil wears Prada' type boss played by Lauren Holly gets kidnapped by some sex traffickers. Her assistant helps rescue her.Kaylee Defer from Gossip Girl and the slightly changed but still attractive Lauren Holly are the main cast members.It's quite amusingly written especially with the Detroit "models" and Detroit jokes. The Russian jokes are a bit thin.The story is moderately predictable but liked the dialog and the way things unfolded and was filmed.It could have been painful but it isn't. Not bad.

I really enjoyed this movie. It has a great cast and a suspenseful plot, and I enjoyed the process that Rebecca went through to solve the mystery. Lauren Holly and Kaylee DeFer did a great job with their parts and it was great to see Joe Lando again, who also did a great job with his. He makes a great security guy and I'd love to see him in a movie with a bigger role.What keeps me from giving this movie a 10 is that there are a few places where believe-ability is stretched. Part of that is a couple of times where real time is shortened in order to keep things moving and I understand the reason for that. I've already watched this movie twice and will watch it again when it airs. I hope it becomes available on DVD soon.

I liked this movie. I didn't have high hopes in it because it wasn't promoted like most of the network's movies, so I am pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. I think it is because the lead character was a smart lady who wouldn't give up in finding her "boss from hell" played convincingly by Lauren Holly. She really was very demanding and rude to her assistant, even blaming her for the weather and the reason she had to have a Layover in a city of Detroit. She was very lucky her assistant didn't believe she was fired and could tell she was in trouble somehow when she didn't get the usual phone call berating her for something out of her control. It was good to see Joe Lando in this film as Elliot, the security person. Unfortunately not enough scenes with him, in my opinion. SPOILER: And, it does have a happy ending.I would definitely watch it whenever it airs again on Lifetime. I hope this one will also go to DVD for purchase.
