Movie Reviews of Lie With Me
Movie Review: Interesting Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
"Lie With Me" is a sexually charged love story that somehow got away from the MPAA with an R rating. I think the filmmakers must be in the MPAA, because this movie's got some graphic scenes. We're talking full frontal male & female nudity, with sex that looks very unsimulated. You don't see full penetration, but...Well, you'll have to see it. This movie is adapted from a book and I hope the book had more depth than this, because I feel something must have been lost in the transition from book-to-screen. The movie is about Leila (Lauren Lee Smith), a girl a lot of people would call a "slut." Leila likes to have sex and she likes to have it a lot. She doesn't seem to understand love or a relationship, but she understands sex. Could this be attributed to a bad homelife? It could be, but the filmmakers don't really show her with a bad homelife. Her parents are getting divorced and her sister is about to get married, despite having had sex with her ex just a couple nights before the marriage. It's kind of bad, but not this bad. Anyway, Leila ends up at a party where she hastily drags a guy outside and begins performing oral sex on him. Meanwhile, a guy she met a few minutes ago named David (Eric Balfour, 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre') is sitting in a truck watching her with his girlfriend. As the girlfriend begins copying Leila and as both Leila and David have sex with their respective partners; They look at each other and something is there. They may not be sure what, but it's there. The next day, David goes looking for Leila and he finds her. She begins to masturbate on a playground for him, which freaks him out a bit, but he returns to her and they both have sex that I swear isn't simulated. There's almost no way it could be. Anyway, for some reason; We have to find out that David is caring for his invalid father. But is this really important to the plot? I mean it's a bit heartwrenching, but not very important. This movie could've poignant, but that's where it misses. The performances are good enough and the movie is entertaining; It's a vast improvement over another sexually charged movie called "9 Songs" (in which the sex wasn't simulated and was slightly more graphic than this). Balfour and Smith make a cute couple; The sex scenes are great. But, overall, it misses a bit.

Movie Review: Lie with Me
Summary: 4 Stars
As I am reading other reviews for this film, I think people missed the point. It's not about how good the sex scenes were. It's not porn. Those scenes were fine and pretty realistic. For the plot and content of the film, the characters were alright and pretty realistic as well. What was interesting about the film was that we see a person who cannot connect love and lovemaking. It was pretty ironic when David's girlfriend told Leila that he had intimacy issues with Leila herself having intimacy issues. This obviously comes from the parents. Leila's mom blatantly states she does not want to be married anymore. She doesn't need to. Leila's parents were already pushing senior citizenship by then. So I think Leila's seen a lack of intimacy in what love requires for a long time already. Her sister doesn't help either. She continues to have an affair with her ex because he is well endowed. I really liked how they showed David taking care of his dad. This sets off Leila's thinking of David as something more than just a good time. Then David's father dies, which leads to the downfall of the relationship. David needed Leila there to help him emotionally, something of great difficulty for Leila. So she leaves him. What was also realistic is that Leila watches porn. I think the number of females watching porn has risen. I liked the part where she tried to control the hobbit she picked up from the club earlier. What was she thinking?
Movie Review: Sexually charged movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
The two leads in this movie do a good job of portraying raw lust, and sexual tension. There is not much dialogue, mostly just the narration by the female lead, Leila [played by the lovely & sexy Lauren Lee Smith]& lots & lots of steamy, erotic sex. The storyline itself is nothing new, basically about two people, a sexual nymphet Leila and a sexually aggressive guy, David who both have different ideas about the direction their 'relationship' should lead. Watching it was better than watching a porn movie in that at least the sex doesn't just seem purely mechanical, and there is really good chemistry between the two leads. If a comparison is to be made with a more well-known movie, I would say this was close to Looking for Mr Goodbar, in which Diane Keaton plays a sexually obsessed woman [kind of what Leila is like in this movie] except this movie lacks the darker undertones of Goodbar. Final verdict: erotic & watchable.Movie Review: point of view
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a movie, to be taken as a movie. It wasn't, to me, about porn, as much as the way romance is done in this day and age. It was about two people finding, through each other, themselves, and what love is.But this flick is on your point of view. people see what they want to see. That is more evident in movies then in any other source of entertainment. If you want porn, you could view it as such. But the real trick to this movie, in my humble opinion, is to listen as well as watch. An academy award winner, not even close, but it is a nice movie to watch, and get involved in. From selfish to selfless, that was what I got out of it.Movie Review: mixed emotion...

First of all, sorry about the quality of my written english, I am from Quebec, the french speaking part of Canada.
This movie tells us the story of seduction between a hot guy and a nice girl. Both of them wish to love the other one but don't seem to know how to do. A lot of people deal with that issue, but they are particularly in trouble.
I would have wish an end with more passion, a certain form of well being from the characters, that doesn't happens.
I still recommands you folks to watch that film, that approach with originality the relation between two people.
