One of the worst movies I've ever seen
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreThe beginning of this film was slow and bit painful to get through as the film quality is shoddy and the writing seems sophomoric at best. The fiancé is hard to watch as honestly if he was on fire I believe he was in pain.The ancillary characters in this movie make the movie infinitely more watchable. Linda and her boyfriend make you want to spend more time with them than the movie felt necessary sadly.Half way through the movie picks up and rolls along decently. But my love of the friend Linda and her boyfriend goes on unsatisfied. Just be wary of the first 45 mins though as again the pacing crawls.
... View MoreWhat's your biggest secret? I'll bet you it's not as big as Amy's (Melinda Page Hilton). And as she can tell you, honesty may not be the best policy for some things. Especially when it comes to her secret.Amy (Melinda Page Hilton) is happily engaged to her boyfriend, John (Bryce Johnson), and through their conversation, he decides that they should be completely honest with each other and share their deepest secrets. Pretty soon, they're both going to wish they hadn't.Because I actually want this review to be published on IMDb, I can't disclose what she actually did (although when you look at the poster and the synopsis, it's kind of obvious...and the quote is on the film's page). It's pretty shocking, but that's about as far as the movie goes. For someone whose mind is this twisted, there could have been plenty of places for this movie to go. Yet after an occasionally funny first half, it delves into a romantic melodrama that still doesn't really work.At least the acting is solid. Melinda Page Hilton must be given credit for her courage. The content of this film requires someone who is not against taking some very big risks. It also helps that she is solid in the role. It's not Oscar worthy, but it gets the job done. Bryce Johnson is a little less successful, but he's not bad. The best performance goes to Colby French, Amy's co-worker and confidant. Of all the characters in the film, he's the one I felt for the most.Bobcat Goldthwait has a twisted mind, to be sure, but he doesn't lack the courage to do anything with this situation. This film could have been a great screwball comedy, but Goldthwait actually expects us to care about these characters and what happens to them. To an extent, I did, but not enough for the amount of time that is devoted to their dramas. The secret is shocking, but I got over it FAR sooner than the characters. Worse is his static shot selection. The film looks bland. To anyone who is not a film critic, that may not be noticeable (as a label), but everyone will know that Goldthwait really fails to draw us into the story."Sleeping Does Lie" isn't a terrible film, but it's not a very good one either. I'll just call it a "missed opportunity."
... View MoreFirst off I want to say that I lean liberal on the political scale and I found the movie offensive. I managed to watch the whole doggone disgrace of a film . This movie brings a low to original ideas. Yes it was original thus my 2 stars instead of 1. Are our film writers that uncreative that they can only come up with this?? Acting was horrible , and the characters were unlikeable for the most part. The lead lady in the story had no good qualities at all. They made her bf into some sort of a bad guy and I did not see that at all. Maybe I missed something , I do not know.He was the most down to earth, relevant character in the movie. I did not shell out any money for this garbage. I almost wish PETA would come to the rescue of this awful, offensive movie and form a protest. DISGUSTING thats all I have to say anymore !
... View MoreThis is a film about a girl who blew a dog when in college (literally) and doesn't dare to tell her boyfriend. The only reason you could see this movie is if you are drunk with friends and want to watch a really bad film to laugh about. Forget Ed Wood films, this one is worse than anything you know. You arrive to the first hour without really knowing if it's a milded comedy or a drama -and not because it goes, as a Korean movie, between genres, but just because it is NOT funny NOR dramatic. The acting is poor, the lighting is terrible, the script is absolutely pointless and irritating (the dilemma is ridiculous, the characters are stereotypes or simply lame), yes, but the cinematography is the worse part; the direction is the same as in a porn movie (without the benefits of a real porn movie, of course), as if it were shot by a party-cameraman. You have the feeling it was shot in two days, I don't know why. If you arrived to this page because you liked the movie, go on and vote you didn't like my review; if you haven't seen it yet, you are warned. Cheers!
