Lakewood

Trust me, I've tried them all: Billy Blanks, Jane Fonda, Richard Simmons, Turbo Jam, heck I even turned to Susan Powter. Nothing worked...until I found Lakewood starring Naomi Watts. Who knew, right? Just watching Naomi jogging for sixty minutes and huffing, puffing, and sweating nearly made me lose two pounds. And then I tried emulating her because after all, a good workout video isn't effective unless you can follow along. I'm thrilled she has gotten into the health fitness game and is selfless enough to want to help others.

This is not a bad film. From reading the reviews I was expecting it to be very weak, but it's not. I think the problem that the reviewers have is that this is NOT an action film. If you watch it not expecting action, shooting and chases, it is actually a very good film. Its true that 80% of it is the main character on a jog in the woods, but that doesn't mean there is no suspense. The acting is good, the scenery is beautiful and the plot is strong and believable. Well worth watching if you're not expecting high octane action or CGI nonsense.

That was visual torture. I should of turned it off after the first 15 minutes. I literally just spent an hour and a half watching Naomi Watts run through the woods while talking on a cell phone. I can't believe I just sat through that. If you decide to watch this, do yourself a favor. After the first 15 minutes skip all the way through to the last 15. Your welcome..3 stars..

I can't believe Naomi Watts is in a movie like this.

Either she got a loan from the bank and couldn't pay it back... Either she owes money to the mafia, or the producer/director is someone she loves very much and he couldn't answer no.

This could be the worst movie in Watts' filmography.

As a Canadian it bothers me that I only have to watch a half hour of a movie in order to recognize it as second rate Canadian-made, regardless of the actors. This is an example.

A solid hour of watching Naomi Watts making and receiving telephone calls while running in a forest. I kept wishing her battery would die!
