I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

How To Pick Up Girls Using The Latest Facial Disfigurement Techniques. This is like the bible for psychotic dolts who are having trouble convincing women that they aren't really all that psychotic. I guarantee you there are some thick-headed lug nuts out there who will see this as a script for how to secure ownership of their woman. So in that respect it's a little bit worrisome.On the other hand, this was an entertaining and interesting movie. The woman made an unconventional but logical choice to marry the wealthy obsessed nerd who threw acid in her face. Perhaps she has plans to dismember him in his sleep some night. That would provide some serious sequel fodder.A pretty good movie. Her tanorexic friend is worth seeing too.

This is a great documentary about real events. I was fascinated by the story and that this could really happen. For me the story is very sad and horrific at times ..Pugash I guess got what he wanted in the end. Linda was such a lovely young woman with her whole life ahead of her and he ruined it. After the incident and what happened here eyes, her fiancé left her and other men ran a mile when she took off her glasses. This also tells a story.. ans asks the question , what really is Love? By her fiancés point of view very fickle but thats easy for me to say. But true love is love that is more than just about looks. As for Pugash IMO hes a very self centered person insane and still is. Linda has become very hardened at what happened to her and I don't blame her. She probably realized in her late 30s that she would end up alone, blind and lonely. Thats the reason shes with Pugash now as far as i'm concerned.One loose end about the film was what happened to Pugashs poor handicapped daughter and 1st wife Maxine....

This may be the most amazing true-life documentary I've ever seen. If it wasn't all true, I'd never believe it. Who would? This is an insane "love story," and it really happened. Ask the citizens of New York City who lived through this tabloid story. I'm sure they couldn't believe it, either, but it was headline news in their area for quite a while.I hesitate to say too much for those who haven't watched this, but I highly recommend this DVD. The filmmakers did an outstanding job in presenting all the major figures in this fascinating tale of twisted lovers....and "twisted" is putting it mildly, especially in regard to the chief male: Burt Pugach, who is one of the most despicable no-conscience people I've ever seen. If you have a low opinion of lawyers, you'll really appreciate this story! The female part of this bizarre "love" story is Linda Riis. She's the first person you see on camera and, from the first sentence on, you think incredulously "who is this?!" The weird sunglasses, eyebrows, obvious wig and brutally-frank New York directness and accent hits you like a truck. Her story, and from her perspective, is the most amazing of them all. Everyone else that follows - Burt and Linda's friends and associates - are almost as riveting. These are all real people, not actors.Trust me: you have to see this to believe it. If crazy people, obsession, romance, crime, loneliness, comedy, etc., are all something you find entertaining, this documentary has all of it. It might also disgust you that human beings can be so pathetic.I couldn't stop shaking my head in disbelief after this watching this documentary. Kudos to everyone involved in this film for a job very well done.

This review contains spoilers after a certain marked point.The less you know about the story going in the better this is going to play. If you know what happens then odds are things will be less interesting. The basic story, sans spoilers, is that Burt Pagach is dumped by his girlfriend, Linda, who gets engaged to another nice young man. Torn with jealousy he pays three men to throw acid in Linda's face. What happens after that is the story. If you want to go in blind, no pun intended, find the film and watch it only knowing that much. if you want to know more read on.SPOILERS AHEAD The real story here is that Burt and Linda eventually get married. They are a strange pair and the film charts the course of their relationship. Both are interviewed, as are friends, lawyers and newsmen. Its an odd story to say the least with a few twists and turns that keep things interesting.The problem with the film is what I said at the outset, knowing that they get married kind of makes the film less than great. The reason is that the revelation that the end up together kills the suspense, its like knowing who done it in a mystery, the story is still fun, however all of the fun of finding out whats going on for yourself is lost. Also working against the film is that these are strange people. They are very damaged by life, each other and themselves and its makes it hard to really to completely warm up to them, in a weird sort of way they kind of deserve each other and I don't mean that in a wholly nice way.Yes its a good film, but its not a great one. Its like watching a good episode of a Discovery Channel series that you stumble upon and watch to the end because it intrigues you, however at the same time once its over you don't need to see it again.
