Best movie ever!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

For anyone thinking of watching this movie let me save you some time of your precious life to consider another movie instead. The movie lacks interesting characters and the way most events play out is not believable at all. There are a lot of inconsistencies and in truth things just don't make any sense. If your any way a logical thinker this movie will really annoy you with how events unfold. Without spoiling anything if your looking for a movie that won't challenge you much or give your brain food for logical thought and you just want to pass time this might be for you, even though there are better options available.

*** Slight Spoilers ***This is "Misery" for the hashtag generation. That said, a lot of ideas and scenes were taken from the aforementioned movie. The major one is the car crash which puts our heroine, Ava Maclain (Chelsea Kane), into the care and arms of our deluded villain, Xavier (Nolan Gerard Funk). The other scene is the mistaken identity at the close of the movie, where Ava sees Xavier once again, though we know this cannot be true. This is a pretty much-unneeded scene that doesn't add anything to the film.The unoriginal story is the only drawback to this movie. The acting of the two main leads, Kane and Funk, are pretty good and their portrayal of the characters is both strong and believable. The other actors are above average Danny Wattley (Damon) really stood out as being as strong an actor as Kane and Funk, who did a good job as the Manager come Bodyguard.The script, on the whole, isn't too bad, though as I did say before, very Misery'ish... No blizzard, but a nor'easter storm. Even being set in Maine is a doff-of-the-cap to Mr King. Though, I'm not sure if the writer, Dean Orion, was paying homage, or trying to cover his back... after all, twenty-four years have passed since Misery was filmed (Damn I feel old!) There are, as always, strange decisions made by the heroine. Though, to be honest, the film would've only lasted about twenty minutes is she hadn't made the strange "wrong" decisions. But remember this was written for television and not for the big screen or even DVD release so there are limitations the writer has to face.Director Vanessa Parise does a very good job of telling the story and interweaving the actor's portrayal's of the characters into their correct places making the film stronger than the story.Even though the story isn't great the acting and the direction lift the overall finished product.If you have a free Sunday afternoon, with not much to watch, then this is a good film to chill out too. Not much brain power is required as you know the villain pretty much from the start, and the climax is very guessable as there are no real twists in this story.I enjoyed the film and didn't feel disappointed after viewing.

Another over zealous fan movie is depicted here. We saw this in Kathy Bates' Oscar winning performance with James Caan in "Misery." We also saw this in the film "The Fan" with Lauren Bacall and Maureen Stapleton.Naturally, our "fan" here is a gasoline attendant, a war veteran who has problems, severe problems emotionally. He rescues a brat of a star who basically doesn't know what she wants and brings her to his abode where he begins to terrorize her. To say that she gets what's coming to her is to put it mildly; even though tragedy ensues when her rejected boyfriend and manager try to locate her.Does it have to take a tragedy for our heroine to come back down to earth?

I decided to give this movie a shot because I watch Baby Daddy (which Chelsea Kane is on) and thought Nolan Funk was quite hilarious as Hunter on Glee. I have never ever put any type of theatrical high standard for lifetime movies, but this is still pretty average on the totem pole. Without giving anyway any spoilers, lets just say that there are quite a few plot holes and inconsistencies which will have you going "really?" (not unlike other lifetime movies, though, but still). I could tell that the actors were trying really hard to commit to their roles but the dialogue (especially at points that were supposed to be creepy and disturbing) was actually quite comical sometimes. Luckily it wasn't completely horrible and I was able to make it through the entire thing. It's like they were trying to reach a younger crowd with the random mentions of former Disney/nick teen pop stars...miley, selena, and "Ari" (lol what??) but then the rest of the movie was pretty adult themed, not like R rated but if i had a teenager I probably would watch this first before letting them watch it. i couldn't help but wonder if they were taking a dig at the stereotypical "child star grows up" story but i suppose that's for another thread. I give it 5 stars for not being great, but not being truly terrible either. The plot is pretty uninspired, the script lets down the actors and by the time the movie was over i wasn't even really invested in any of the characters to care about their fates....but again, this is a lifetime movie, so you should already know what you're getting into.
