Malas intenciones

After the end of the long-running hit series KNOTS LANDING, Valene Ewing actress Joan Van ARK had tons of time for television films (Movies Of The Week).

Here she plays Cinnie Merritt, who has serious problems with her rock musician husband (Rick SPRINGFIELD, who had a mega hit in the 1980s with "Celebrate Youth!"). Suddenly their son has an accident. In the hospital, the attending doctor (Christopher NOTH, known from Sex and the City) takes remarkably caring care of him and the other children who will have accidents...

Quite an exciting television film that also has some extremely scary moments!

Awful in a bad/good way...this movie has officially become the worst "made for TV movie" in my book...except for the camp value it offers, I give it a 1 in quality and a 10 for the camp value. Suggestion: Watch with friends, champagne and plenty of popcorn...you'll want to throw some at the screen! Preferably friends who like Chris Noth from his 'Sex in the City days'...this movie is dreadfully funny. This is definitely the lowest point in the careers of all cast members...honestly, I don't know how they controlled the laughter as the lines were delivered! Daniel J. Travanti is absolutely pathetic. EVERYONE participated in the school of over acting; and poor Joan Van Ark, I believe she was the only one taking this theater of the absurd seriously...she is credited as a producer though. Her "Mom" jeans and bad plastic surgery are scene stealer's. This movie also crosses the oh so delicate line of social incorrectness when they introduce a mentally challenged character into the plot. This is an obscure movie showing on Lifetime listed as {With Harmful Intent}....has anyone else had the pleasure?

Given the loony material he's got to work with, Noth does a very good job in his part. I came away from this movie appreciating him as an actor much more than before, and I've always enjoyed watching him act. I'd like to see him play Frankenstein. Or Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. Or a vampire. To me this is a sign of an excellent actor. He's still very interesting to watch despite the outlandish material. ("Grand Guignol" is too tame a description.) The plot may have been too over the top to forget what I was watching, but Noth was still interesting to watch anyway. He managed to add some dimension even to that character. Give this man a film and a script with a compelling villain in it. Please!

Gee, I picked a good date to do this review, didn't I?

We have given this film one star for awful, however, it really depends on how you look at it. We are currently watching this on Channel 5 at 3.30am, and we haven't stopped laughing, so perhaps we could give it a 10, just for the entertainment value. Right from the outset, with the 'manic' thoughts of the stalker being relayed in comic fashion, we were laughing. Is it me or does that chick from Knott's Landing look like one of the characters from the Dark Crystal.

I'm not going to spoil it for you, however, you would have to be pretty stupid not to see it coming, i don't think its clever enough for double bluffs.

This has to be the worst/best film we have ever seen, if we'd been playing the 'spot the cliché' drinking game, then we be wasted by now.

Lydia the snobby psycho played the snobby saleswoman in Pretty Woman.

She's an amazing snob.

Anyway, this movie is so bad it's good.

Dark, twisted, odd.

I recommend it on a lazy night when you just want to watch something in bed.
