Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

That was an excellent one.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The movie The Pet has an intriguing premise, but it fails in some important ways. They have a terrific young actress in Barbara Edmondson who delivers just the right amount of innocence and pluck. She was very good. Her character gets off to a good start, but unwinds as the story progresses. She just doesn't get enough to say, especially later in the movie when we most want to hear her. The end left me flat.The story was about a pet, the complications that arose were interesting, even tense at times, but we lose sight of our heroine, and the conversation lines were often too weak. I felt like the writers lost sight of what they wanted to do; some serious outside input for later scenes would have made this a great story.They could have done more with this story; they certainly had the right actress for it. I'd recommend the movie just to watch her; not for the nudity but for her interesting delivery.

If you're into Master/slave alternate lifestyle and BDSM, this movie is for you. The two leads are perfectly cast - Andrea Edmondson who is very believable as the submissive human pet and Pierre Dulat who brings European sophistication to his role of master. When those two are on screen, the movie works. The rest of the cast is not up to their standards and the early part of the story is lacking and the ending is even worse, but the middle hour of this movie is really excellent with the interaction between the two leads. Andrea is nude for most of the film, but it's so natural that you won't even notice after the first few minutes. If you're not into alternate lifestyles, this movie will leave you cold because clearly this movie was aimed at a very narrowly focused audience and it hits a bulls-eye with them.

I just liked the story and the acting - I watched it with some friends and we talked about it for hours -- it is a lot to bring out in the open. NO one had a consensus - it was just thoughtful -- and complex. It goes well below the surface of just entertainment.I noticed so many issues that I deal with in the world daily. Like power plays in business -- who is the bully and who is the low man at the office. My wife had issues with it at first and then she saw a scene with males slaves and she appreciated it was a non gender base issue. Slavery comes in all kinds in this movie - from the girl who window shops eventually become a secretary. Several male labor slaves are punished for trying to escape while other slaves accept their condition and are seemingly resigned to their life of servitude or as 'pets'. All in all a very disturbing movie - it gets under your skin because in the end it looks beautiful and it is easy to see how some of the 'missing' people in current news may have bonded with their captors. I did like that a love story was developed in a way that is quite difficult to imagine. I tended to really like seeing something so unique happen.A very intriguing piece of work - I do look forward to seeing something more from this director and the actors

The acting wasn't great...Andrea Edmondson sounded as she was reading most of her lines but the story it's self was what draws you in. The only movie you can compare it to is The Secretary which was the first BDSM to hit the mainstream. I actually liked this movie better than The Secretary. I enjoyed the eroticism of it -the time it took to show how a person can become someone's pet. If you can go into it with an open mind, you can allow all types of possibilities to emerge.There are inherent storyline flaws but I overlooked them. The ownership was erotic to me, the branding, the cage it's self. (A triangle cage does NOT look comfortable!) I feel people outside of the "scene" will not appreciate it (if they see it at all) but for those into BDSM, it's a welcome addition. Not the end all be all, but certainly a start into what will hopefully be a growing genre.
