The moment the charming, debonair, dark and sexy, 'neurosurgeon' (right.... ALL neurosurgeons are gorgeous, dark, sexy hunks with chiseled abbs... especially after having spent 12 years in school... right...) started charming the pants off of 'Lily Blossom Bloom', who is, of course, the gorgeous, sexy, sultry, body-to-kill-for lead, I started reaching for the 'Take this off my Netflix 'Continue Watching' button.

I mean... come on... SERIOUSLY? You really expect me to take this seriously? It was just boring, sickening, romance trash. She, of course, keeps saying 'No.. no... no...!' to all of his charming advances, - and then GUESS WHAT? She falls head-over-heels (literally) for him. Who WRITES this carpola STILL? I mean... AGAIN? Just really trite and done SO many times before. Bypass this one. Quickly. I'm glad I only spent about 20 minutes on it. Whew.

I really don't know what all the hullabaloo is all about. I will give credit to Autin Butler, as he did a good job looking and acting like 'The King' (I never really was ever into the whole Elvis thing...), but the movie to me was just boring. I opted out after about the 1/2-way mark.

It didn't interest me in the slightest. I didn't know Tom Hanks was in it when I started watching it, and when he appearred on screen, I thought 'well, at least there's Tom Hanks in the movie...' - but really... he just sort of looked like he was phoning it in.

I know I didn't see the whole movie, but I just couldn't.

Just really a load of unbelievable hogwash. I feel bad in saying that, because Dana Delaney is great in most everything she's done, including this. Ron Perlman was good in Quest For Fire, only because we didn't have to hear him speak and be his regular macho self. He's so unbelievably indigestible in this, being an arrogant, rich, religous-nut a$$h0le, it's just unbearable to watch. And Garret Dillahunt gets to show us his pumped-up body again, and act tough-guy macho. So tiring...

It's just too much. The over-zealous, good-looking, 'charming' young preacher, the ever-so-intelligent, tough, sensitive call-girl 'with a heart' of course, and on and on and on...

Seen it all before, but somehow, this was just worse. At the end of the rth episode in the first season, Perlman's character gets down on his knees to ask the call-girl if she will marry him - and the episode ends as we await her answer. At that point, I said 'alright - that's it', and deleted the series from my line-up. I just couldn't believe it - nor did I care.

Avoid at all costs.
