Prisoner of Love

No seriously: what? And no pun intended of course. I had seen this a while ago and just got reminded of it. Refreshed my memory ... though after a couple of minutes I remembered most of it. Funny thing: even if you watch it the first time ... most of the things happening, you can see coming and guess them right.

Acting is not really up to the task - a lot of cliches thrown in your way. You may have an issue with the age difference. But hopefully you can see beyond age shaming - sometimes there can be something there that we do not understand. Of course this is quite obvious from the start. Unfortunately many fall for traps like that. In reality the bad guys are not as ... well simple minded as the ones portrayed here ... but it is a movie of the week kind of deal ... so there is that.

So, I don't normally do reviews but I really felt the need to speak about this movie. I enjoy watching LMN and all the trash movies it shows. It's my thing. My wife can't believe I spend my time watching them. But I digress. The acting and writing is absolutely horrendous in this movie. I've enjoyed this guy James Hyde in other movies so I gave it a shot. He's the best this movie has to offer. My biggest gripe about it is that in so many outdoor scenes, there is snow on the ground and yet all the actors are wearing sleeveless tops or short sleeves. Not a coat, gloves or scarf to be seen. Sometimes it's the small details that can make a movie go from a 10 to a 1 in a split second. And that's my line. Don't waste a second on this movie.

Carly Bragg and her mother, Sarah, an interior decorator, meet Kyle Smithford, a much older and rich gentleman, after he hires her to do over his mansion. But Kyle takes a special interest in Carly and she returns his feelings. Big mistake as the movie reveals! Pretty good script and acting. Recommended!

First, I was surprised to find out that the age gap btw the two main characters was even greater in real life!! Gross. I felt like this movie was just a ploy to have this young girl kiss this 38 yr OLDER than her man the whole movie. It gave me the ick. And the plot was weak. I've seen some good sugar daddy movies from Lifetime that teach you a lesson and this one fell flat. It was a very strange.adaptation of a falling in love with an older man type of movie. There literally was nothing in it for the main character. And they kept wayyy too many intimate kissing scenes that had nothing to do with the empty plot. Very strange.

Acting is bad, sets look cheap. Not sure who gave the 8 rating, but truthfully, save your bandwidth and do not waste your time on a movie like this. I spent 15 minutes in and gave up.
