El pacto

I thought this film would be initially a Lifetime typical film. It is not. It is a riveting tragedy about 2 young lovers and 2 families torn apart by a suicide pact between their children. Eric Lively as Chris is Oscar contention worthy in this film. Also, Megan Mullaly is amazing. The acting tears your heart out. This movie and it's actors are excellent. I just wish it was on more often to see.

When I first heard about this movie I thought it would be great. When I saw that it was based on a book, I was even more thrilled. But I made one mistake. I read the book first. And that clouded my opinion of the movie. If you've read the book don't bother to see the movie. It will only disappoint you. (Save for the eye candy that is Eric Lively) But if you're completely new to the story line, watch the movie first then read the book. Then you'll see exactly what I meant. Don't get me wrong, the story itself is wonderful, I just prefer the un-edited, un-cut book version.

I saw this movie yesterday and fell in love with it. Megan Mullally was really good. She is a really good actress whether it is a dramatic role or comedic. Juliet Stevenson was really good in it too. It was really believable that they were actually sad.

"The Pact" starring Megan Mullally was an excellent television movie. I was surprised to see Megan play such a dramatic role because I was so used to her as Karen Walker on "Will&Grace",in which she plays a funny character.Megan Mullally is such a wonderful actress in this movie."The Pact" sends a strong message about an issue many teens might be thinking of. Overall, I give "The Pact" 4 stars because it's a very good movie.

I love this movie so much. Everything from the story line to the cast are wonderful and keep you hooked until the closing credits. Oh and I am a Megan Mullally fan and she did not disappoint me. I am used to seeing her in comedic roles but thought she made Melanie Gold (a challenging part in my eyes) lovable and real. I could relate to her and felt her loss. I wish she would star in more movies.

Also I really think this movie should have got more publicity... If you like movies like 'virgin suicides' then you'll love this! It's a movie you don't forget in a hurry and leaves you thinking. I hope you enjoy it as much as me :o)
