“When you put a good looking actor with not too much talent (Rob Lowe) opposite a not so good looking actress with no talent (Jennifer Grey) you have no sparks and no drama. I was constantly aware of the bad acting by these two and the cold chemistry between them. I have always found Grey boring on screen and no charisma. Even that DIRTY DANCING movie which was clearly Patrick Swayzieu0026#39;s movie. So, donu0026#39;t waste your time with this loser due to the two leads and not the story or supporting cast. Eric Michael Cole was wonderfully evil in this with an innocent look to his prep school image. He was delightful to watch as he maneuvered Lowe. His mother, played by the delightful Kathryn Harrold was also exciting to watch. She carried a small but vivid role beautifully. And then there was Shane Meier as one of Coleu0026#39;s cohorts. He did what he could in a small role. But who can forget his incredible performance as Matthew Shepard in THE MATTHEW SHEPARD STORY. A haunting and beautiful performance. Heu0026#39;s wasted in this.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRob Lowe is capable of good work. In this, heu0026#39;s not given much support from his leading lady. Too bad. In better hands, this movie could have been better.”
