    Brutal in every aspect of filmmaking

    Recently I had a chance to view this film in its entirety. It made me speechless for a while. There's nothing cinematic about this film. Every aspect of filmmaking in this film is evil. The story could be told in 20mins max. It drags with hideous dialog and terrible editing. I don't blame the actors for not giving good performances because they had nothing good to work with. It is amazing that there is a film out there that is worse than Spiceworld. Special appearance by Gary Busey...well, he has no point being in this film. It would be the same film without him. Could be better because it's less time for the audience to be tortured. And at one point, the film takes a completely different tone, it feels like you are watching a Wes Craven film. I enjoy bad films personally. I think there are two kinds of bad film. One is so bad it instantly becomes a legendary film, and the other is so bad it needs to be vanished. This film absolutely falls into the latter.

    Dear God, no!

    An unexplained and poorly edited title sequence made me question my choice of watching this movie, but decided to stick it out long enough to fairly judge it. After a literally painful first 30 min., I wanted to turn it off, but couldn't. I thought that I had already invested days in watching it. The plot is unrealistic, the script is awful. I have no idea how it won any awards. I keep wondering if people saw the same movie I did. The two (and only) redeeming parts of the movie were the bartender and the chocolate lab, Brady. That's it. Save yourself an hour and a half and knit a scarf. Honestly, this one's not worth your time.

    I did not like Sam and Janet

    This is the first time I have ever written a response to a movie. Sam and Janet in my opinion was not worth the time I invested in watching. It dragged on. To me it felt like a B movie and I did not understand how lifetime gave it a 3 star rating. I have watched movies that have had no stars that have been more entertaining and worth my time.

    I had to see it through to the end just like a book that you've been reading just to finish it. I felt that the actors seemed insincere and definitely like they were reading a script. I guessed the ending. Even though I am a sucker for a happy ending this movie didn't make me happy or even restore my faith in true love as much as I was just happy it ended. I had hoped to find more in Sam and Janet but was left at a loss.

    wow...BAD, no other words to describe it!

    UUMmmmm OK words cannot describe how bad this movie is. I have seen other peoples comments and I swear to god I think they are paid to do this, or the director himself wrote these comments. I should have taken the hint that it was going to be bad when on the back of the DVD cover they have comments from IMDb users instead of an actual critic....I mean the director is probably the one wrote these comments anyway! Guys saying they liked this...come on! Even I knew this was *&^%, and I'm a girl! It was horribly acted, extremely cheesy, very predictable and omg did I mention cheesy. MOst of the movie consists of the two main characters cuddling everywhere and do "coupley things in like 50 locations. Then when they break up they have about 50 shots of each of them looking out on the ocean and thinking and crying in bed...omg did I mention this was a bad movie!

    Holy cow! What a moron!

    This is one of the worst films I've ever seen. Apparently the guy who made it is some sort of hayseed dj in Oklahoma and promotes it through his radio show. Very predictable, very cheesy. I wish I could say it was manipulative, but that would require some degree of success in changing peoples' emotions. It almost pulls off being so bad it's funny, but in the end it's too bland for that. All I can say is WOW!
