Arian Waring Ash looks pretty fantastic in this flick. It's sort of beneath Keri Russell to do this movie, but at least the director seems to understand that if Keri is looking good, it's not a waste of anyone's time. And indeed, she is looking good here. I'm not even a Keri Russell fan. I found the comment about the dog doing the best acting amusing, but it's not true. Keri's acting is good. Even Keri's kid brother turns in a respectable performance, and he has what, ten lines? If you didn't like Phylicia/Mrs. Cosby's performance, you might ask yourself why so much of her energy and style here is duplicated by Khandi/Ms. Talk Radio six years later in CSI Miami. It's actually too bad that there isn't a longer theater-cut of this thing, because it does capture Ms. Russell in what must be her peak bloom, and that's not at all a bad thing. Shame shame shame on casting directors for failing to see this as an audition for the sidekick, Arian Ash, and not turning her into a big star. But who knows? maybe she was beaten out by Love Hewitt for all the subsequent roles, and that's not a bad thing either. This movie probably got pitched as a "let's take all that sexual energy from the Yale babysitter in Mystic Pizza and take it to its logical conclusion" and hey, that's a pretty good idea. At least i don't feel as dirty at the end as I do whenever I see Blame It On Rio. Incidentally, Demi Moore was the sidekick in that one, and someone DID see that and turn her into a star.
I totally love Keri Russell, so I had to check this out if only to see her past "indiscretions" vis-à-vis movie scripts. I enjoyed this film and thought she gave a strong performance aside for a few scenes, though it's a TV movie and some fairly obvious flaws have to be expected. Stephen Collins has always come off to me as a sleazebag, so I guess this role worked for me. Still tough to see him on screen next to a 20-year-old. I'd agree that Phylicia Rashad fell flat as a piece of cardboard compared to the other characters. If you enjoy an occasional melodrama complete with yelling at your television, this is an enjoyable guilty pleasure.
This movie was good... the plot drew you in and the characters did as well. But i must say i squirmed whenever Stephen Collins and Keri Russel locked lips. It was just disturbing to see a nearly 50 year old man at the time and a just turned 20 year old kiss... however, these two great actors made it seem realistic. The ending was predictable but the parts leading up to it kept you on the edge of your seat. I recommend that you try to catch this movie on lifetime. It was better then what you would expect from a tv movie
I had not previously encountered this film, but I faintly recall its cover from my childhood on TV or VHS at the rental shop (God, to think these are no more). There are several similar titles available on Tubi that I remember seeing on the covers of VHS, although I was too young to watch them at the time. However, I am now able to appreciate them and am thoroughly enjoying the experience. This film embodies many characteristics of early 90s thrillers and made-for-television movies. During that era, it was quite popular to feature narratives involving older men and school-aged girls, as seen in productions such as "Poison Ivy," among others. However, this particular film presented a somewhat different perspective. Although it was watchable, it lacked excitement and was predictable in its plot development. Nonetheless, it served its purpose of providing entertainment and gave me the opportunity to see Tobin Bell in a non-horror role, which is primarily how I know him. Overall, while it may not have been exceptional, it was certainly more enjoyable than many other films I have encountered.
The movie felt a bit longer than it should have been, kind of boring at times. The twists were decent fun. Keri Russell delivers a solid performance as Michelle, a babysitter caught in a web of lies and suspicion after the sudden death of her employer's wife. While the plot has its moments of intrigue, it leans heavily on predictable tropes typical of 90s thrillers. The pacing drags in parts, but the cast, including Stephen Collins and Phylicia Rashad, adds depth. Not groundbreaking, but it's watchable for fans of Lifetime-style dramas. An alright movie overall, something perfect for when you need something to watch and it doesn't really matter what.
