The Worst Film Ever
Absolutely brilliant
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
The acting in this movie is really good.
I'm writing for my husband. For as long as we've been together, 7 years, I've heard the plot from this movie and at least once a year I've searched for it. Despite being a TV movie the plot and twists were riveting. Carrie Mitchum gave a memorable performance, but Lisanne Falk's choice in handling her conscience was a sticking point in the telling of this story. How each character is forced to deal with the situation in her own way and in her chosen career path was a unique storyline that I've personally not seen before or since this movie. Renee Estevez (Martin Sheen's daughter) gives an outstanding performance, great lead in for her role on West Wing. Hope all who watch enjoy. We're looking forward to purchasing it on DVD.
When 3 feisty college girls go to Fort Lauderdale for fun in the sun they become involved in the death of a drifter due to their own stupidity. For months after they try to go on as usual but events go against them until they are forced to make a decision in which they lose either way. A very enjoyable film with a satisfying ending.
Good news, folks. I checked, these two screen writers have no other credits on IMBD. This script flat out sucks. It's the suckiest suck that has ever sucked. Unless you were like me and got tricked into watching this crap consider yourself extremely lucky. This is a movie of the week and is therefore written for drooling morphidites in the country's dirtiest prisons, but this isn't even good enough for death row inmates.
Very good as far as TV movies go, actors put in a good performance to allow some depth to their characters, interesting plot all making an interesting viewing experience. The three girls develop the "teens face awful dilemma" line, when on a spring break they run down a stranger after a drunken party. Expedient decisions are made with the moral dilemmas and inevitable consequential mistakes forming the basis for the rest of the film.
