Audience Member Being something of a mark for most things Matthew Lillard, I had run across this on cable scheduling and recorded it ages ago, so I finally sat down with it and gave it a look this afternoon. The upshot is that Lillard is a screenwriting teacher who is forced to play out the plot from one of his screenplays, which was apparently something he stole from a student, and it's all just a bit too corny and dumb, even with an actor that I kinda like as the lead. Rental at best, but mostly a pass on this turkey. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member For a script about scriptwriting, they certainly made a generic script, cliches, predictable ending with terrible dialogue. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I was pleasantly surprised by this film. It kept me intrigued throughout, trying to guess the killer (I was wrong in the end too). Twists and turns with a small but good cast, along the way make a good story better Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The script and idea of this film should have been deleted then nobody would have to suffer at this abomination of a movie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review william s #1 clue you're about to watch a crappy movie...it stars Mathew Lillard.Clue #2....see clue #1. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Horrible story line. Lillard is spectacular. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
