Blue Seduction

There wee only three redeeming qualities to this film - One was Billy Zane, and the other two belong to Estella Warren.

BZ is way better than this, and was actually funny when he needed to be and outperformed everyone in his scenes. My only guess as to why he's here would be that he caught some kind of misdemeanour conviction and he's working off his community service hours.

This whole thing screamed of being a cable special. The acting was wooden, the production value low, the scenes where the actors were singing were so obviously studio-recorded I was rubbing my eyes. Overall, I'd have rather watched the Shamwow guy for 90 minutes than this abomination.

I'm not a Hollywood wannabe, but I am a New Brunswick taxpayer, and the idea that I paid for this train wreck baffles the hell out of me.

BLUE SEDUCTION was tested in three states and came up with an APPROVAL rating of 8.9. It seems to be more favorable to females rather than men, and of course, mostly favorable for viewers who are not in the film business, trying to make a name for themselves! (Most of these so called critics appear to be wanna be's looking for attention, or hopefully fore their own film produced.) The basic fact that B.S., as it has become known on this page, is placed in the same category as FATAL ATTRACTION (one of the best BUT most expensive thrillers of its time), is a compliment, but NOT one that was seduced by the BLUE SEDUCTION producers. But since the majority of these "male critics" know nothing more exciting than "one bare nipple", it seems obvious that FATAL ATTRACTION is the only thriller they can remember.

Females love Billy Zane: sleepy eyed, walking or talking, outside of Hollywood California, as the film WAS tested, and that is what was stated! If a man ever dreamed of being seduced, I am sure the drawing of that femme fatal would not look much different than the beautiful and talented Estella Warren....

So it appears, Hollywood "wanna bes" would rather bash a film which the public viewers have already voted favorably for... how disappointing.

Nevertheless, BLUE SEDUCTION, with the approval of STARZ INTERNATIONAL, will continue, because it has been offered a theatrical release....based upon its high testing numbers outside of Hollywood....something none of these so called "male wanna be critics" will ever understand because it appears they have never been outside the box of their own fantasy life in front of their old rusty Hollywood computer.

Billy Zane wasn't that bad in this movie i thought, i thought that Estella Warren stole the show as Matty ,, the up and coming artist,, our main character,, former musician is down on his luck and struggling so he goes back into the music business to make another record and he is smitten by a very young and sexy cute girl named Matty, she also has a lot of musical talent, so the two are drawn closer,, then end up collating on some music together, as he sees that she has talent as well as beauty, the two get closer romantically as well he falls for her,, she convinces him to go back to the drugs alcohol, sex days of rock and roll , and later on she also convinces him that he can't be successful without her,, she is like a groupie, that won't take no for an answer, she stalks him throughout and when he finally doesn't want to be with her anymore, she can't stand that and takes some action.

This movie was totally misleading in it's title. What surprises me is that it is being rated "MA" by the cable channel that is showing it. I have seen more action in a PG-13 movie than appears in this film.

The story about a fallen idol battling demons when he tries a comeback has been done before and done much better. The dialog was terrible. The acting is little better than an amateur film. Billy Zane sleepwalks through the whole picture.

Despite what another reviewer said about being tested and getting good results, I have to believe they were either high or drunk when viewing the film. They could not have seen the same film I viewed.

The film only had a $1.6 million budget, filmed in Canada for TV and there are no box office stats available. I suspect the reason for that is it went straight to DVD.

I stumbled on this movie completely at random, and I was not expecting anything special. Thank god for that.

This movie is not as awful as the two other reviews (at the moment) are saying it is. It's just pretty much clichéd. It's obvious they were trying to play it "Wild Things", but hey, not every writer is Stephen Peters. The scenario is quite easy to guess, which is always a problem for that kind of movie : it's all about the ending, of course, and if that ending is foreseeable... well, it kind of throw the whole plot out of the window.

Also, the direction is very conventional. Nothing new, nothing really pleasant, but nothing catastrophic either. It's just 100 % old school.

However, I disagree with the previous reviewers about the acting. It's not brilliant, that's for sure, but it's OK. We can't expect much more from the actors for a simple TV movie.

All in all, I wouldn't advise anyone to watch this movie, but I wouldn't beg them not to. It's not great, it's forgettable, but if you've got nothing else to do, you can give it a try. Just watch it while doing some crosswords to keep your mind busy. ;)
