hayley b for a movie in 1992 id say this is good. not great, but good. i remember watching this 11 years ago, it took me a very long time to find this film but im so glad i was able to find it thanks to drew in poison ivy.11 years later after re watching it, i have decided that i really do like this film and would LOVE to see a remake, it captivates you in the time it was told, has refrences to lolita, howard stern and also robert chambers. production of the film isn't the best but i appreciate the acting and direction. a true story come to film with a young drew barrymoore Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Of the three Amy Fisher TV movies, this is the one that doesn't take Joey's or Amy's side. I think it really kind of suffers in this regard, lacking a clear purpose and direction. After an entertaining first act that is full of the kind of overheated melodrama you expect from TV exploitation flicks, it really loses focus and just meanders around introducing plot points and characters seemingly at random. Perhaps it just assumes that all viewers will be completely familiar with all the details of the real story ... a fair assumption perhaps in 1993, but not this many years later. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A pretty well done TV movie featuring lots of insight and one of Barrymore's better performances. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member another supermarket DVD 2.99 DVD combo pack purchase Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member On May 19th 1992, 17-year-old high school student Amy Fisher (Drew Barrymore) fired a bullet into the head of Mary Jo Buttafuoco (Laurie Paton), the wife of the bodyshop owner with whom she claimed to have been having a sexual affair. But in the explosive media frenzy that followed, did the truth become the most innocent victim of all? This is the sensational true story of lust, greed and obsession that shocked the nation. also stars Anthony John Denison, Harley Jane Kozak, Ken Angel, Lindsay Bourne, Gary Chalk, Linda Darlow and Garry Davey. directed by Andy Tennant. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member She was the best Amy Fisher. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
