I struggled to refrain from voting "1" on this. I still remember going to see this movie in the theater along with a college buddy. The thought of seeing Morgan Fairchild nude on the big screen had us glued to the movie. We were nothing short of disappointed. It was time and money we'll never get back in our lives. I think that guy still holds talking him into going against me. Now that I'm middle aged, I should perhaps view this again, but I doubt my disappointed reaction to Morgan Fairchild in the buff will be any different. Definitely a woman who looked better with clothes on. Without the potential of hot nude scenes, the movie was a 4 - maybe kind of an average thriller, probably more scary to women than men. It'd probably be a decent date movie (when one factors in the ulterior motives of getting a date scared) were it not for the nude scenes.
No, this wasn't the best movie ever made, I don't think they set out to. It was a fun afternoon at the theater, yes after reading so many bad reviews we opted for the matinée over paying full price. I would have paid full price for this movie.
I'm not a Sarah Jessica Parker or Kathy Bates fan, but I enjoyed them in these roles. The premise was amusing, and although the development was predictable, they took you along for the ride. The funny stuff was genuinely funny, pretty much unanimous spontaneous laughter in the theater.
It was nice to have a romantic comedy that didn't rely on infidelity for a plot complicator or feel the need to revolve around the internet (okay a computer geek with cams, but not all pervasive. One nice moral question throughout - is lying okay if our motives are good? Unlike others I did not like Kit very much, she grew on me a little, but it seemed that she was dark to a fault to begin with.
I will probably see it again on DVD.
