Blue Seduction

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. ;)

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.

After reading the negative reviews here (with only one positive), I figured I might as well check it out for myself.

Well, THIS woman isn't so nuts about Billy Zane that I was "seduced" into thinking Blue Seduction is anything but horrible. The test audience must have been on more drugs than Zane and Warren's characters combined in this film.

The acting was horrendous and the plot was a mess - all over the place. The only reason I kept watching was because I couldn't believe how bad it was...like a car wreck you can't help but look at.

Not worth your time even WITH a crossword puzzle in your lap.

The film started off promising but it slowly spiraled into unbelievable territory. The character of Mike was also unbelievable because someone that had been sober for 15 years would not suddenly abuse drugs and alcohol because some young thing put some in your mouth. It was also ridiculous that Joyce's mother was celebrating her birthday one day and dies the next. I was disappointed because I really like Billy Zane and believe that he should still be able to make classy movies. The acting of Estella Warren was very wooden and it was so obvious she was miming her songs. The film tried very hard to be an edge of the seat thriller but was no where near it. The ending of the film was a major turn off.

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.
