Use of the word TWIST!
When the word "twist" appears in any film guide you find yourself looking for clues - and that dreaded word appeared in one guide regarding this TVM. But in 'Alibi' it is obvious what the twist will be, just by looking at Jason Brooks' character's job... This also has all the usual traits of a TVM - dodgy fade to black, cheap titles, Tori Spelling... No way near the best film ever, but not the worst either. And it was just so, so lucky that Tori was a skier

I thought Tori was very good in this movie. I am a BIG fan of Jason Brooks so I enjoyed the movie mainly because of HIM. The kissing scenes between he and Tori were pretty darn convincing if you ask me! There was some real chemistry going on there.
The plot was a little to easy to figure, but the movie overall was worth watching.

Tori Spelling has absolutely no talent. It's a well known and little disputed fact. In fact, none of the Spelling family have any talent. So imagine my surprise when spoiled little rich girl Tori actually reached some half-decent acting standards in this movie.
Well - that's mostly true. Of the scenes with her presence (trust me - that means *every* scene), half of them involved trying to look serious, pouting, and trying too hard, while the other half were in reality not as cringeworthy as would be expected. It was kinda fun trying to guess how bad she would be in the following scene.
Unfortunately, the fun stops there. That was the only unpredictable element of the movie. Hmm... I don't know about you, but to me, the word "alibi" conjures up images of deception, cool plot twists and surprise endings. And yet, "The Alibi" contains NONE of these things. To avoid ruining what little element of surprise there is in the movie, all I will say is this: it's obvious. No, really. In fact, it's even beyond the "too obvious" stage. Even if it were just "too obvious", there would always be the possibility of it not being true. Following me? In short, either this movie is trying to be extra-intelligent (and failing), or it is just a crap movie (more likely).
All in all, though, it isn't such a bad way to spend nearly two hours. The story has a small amount of originality and ingenuity. There are much better "wrong number movies" out there. At least at the end of it you will be able to say, "I knew that all along!"

Umm.. I was quite surprised that someone actually gave this film high marks.
Lets face it... Tori Spelling is not a great actress.. and this movie just proves the extent of her "talent". The movie's plot was weak... I bet the dork that came up with this concept was some perverted peeping tom. If there is a good thing about this movie, I would say it's that Tommy Chong's daughter, just for the fact that she's his daughter... and then there is that Soap-Opera-ish male lead who's decent good looks somewhat make him attractive, but ceases to help his dramatic abilities. *Why does IMDb require at least 10 lines? How many more ways can you simply say "This movie sucks"?

Well when watching this film late one night I was simple amazed by it's greatness. Fantastic script, great acting, costumes and special effects, and the plot twists, wow!! In fact if you can see the ending coming you should become a writer yourself.
Great, I would recommend this film to anyone, especially if I don;t like them much.
Terrific
