Summary: Great Movie!!!
Comment: This movie kept my interest from start to finish. The characters worked well with each other and the movie maintained is flavor.

Summary: point of view
Comment: This was a movie, to be taken as a movie. It wasn't, to me, about porn, as much as the way romance is done in this day and age. It was about two people finding, through each other, themselves, and what love is.But this flick is on your point of view. people see what they want to see. That is more evident in movies then in any other source of entertainment. If you want porn, you could view it as such. But the real trick to this movie, in my humble opinion, is to listen as well as watch. An academy award winner, not even close, but it is a nice movie to watch, and get involved in. From selfish to selfless, that was what I got out of it.

Summary: Lots of sex, tons of cinema firsts, about as close to porn as you can get
Comment: The movie opens with a topless redhead in fishnet stockings masturbating while watching porn. It pretty much sets the tone for the entire movie.
Lie with Me follows the daily exploits of a porn and sex addicted whore named Leila who fills days and nights with sex, drugs, clubbing and bad acting. She has Sex in the City monologues, as someone in search of intense and unending pleasure, without Sarah Jessica Parker's tone, fake coolness, horrible wardrobe, or resemblance to a horse. Although, she does come off as self-absorbed, confused, ignorant, and lost while thinking she is aware of herself and her needs...so I guess they are pretty similar afterall. But the comparison ends there, because Lauren Lee Smith blows SJP out of the water otherwise.
Leila relives her early promiscuity while courting a guy who looks like Luigi from Mario Brothers; he's the next guy to whom she'll eventually give VD. To woo her new found love (read: lust) interest, she performs a striptease at a playground and begins some mutual masturbation. She even goes so far as to give a BJ and have sex with a guy in a parking lot while Luigi performs similarly with his current girlfriend in a car (first dual BJ & dual penetration in non-porn history!).
Anyway, she manages to land her guy, and has sex with him despite the fact that she has spent less than a day with him and said less than two sentences to him. She has the poor man's versions of dependancy and dominance issues Maggie Gyllenhall had in Secretary. She tries to be edgy by saying cock instead of penis, but even in the face of unimpressive, full-frontal male nudity, it still feels forced and contrived for some sort of shock value that simply doesn't hold firm.
The movie is devoid of acting, character development, script, or story; it's insipid nonsense shoved in between good sex scenes that were obviously the puprose of the movie.
Perhaps what irritated me the most about this movie is the stupidity of the ill-fitting emotional content of the movie. There is no real need to give Luigi any sort of family story line, nor Leila. And to make her shy, or him jealous, is completely preposterous, especially when the basically fell in love between yawns and two sexual encounters. Also, the insipid breakup goes down as one of the worst concepts in movie history.

Summary: Interesting movie...
Comment: You truly get to see the full facets of all the characters as they evolve throughout the movie. It truly is no holds barred. What I liked in particular about this movie is that when it was over I felt I understood the characters. So many movies end and I feel that I only saw one side of the characters and I hate that. Perhaps because I prefer reading books where the characters can be more developed than in a fast paced movie. Over all I liked this movie.
Be forewarned though, there is nudity in this movie. The characters are developed in every way.

Summary: Superb Expression of Raw Instincts
Comment: It is a revelation in the annals of expressionistic cinema. Such raw physical need instincts have been brought to life in an honest portrayal by the director. Lauren Lee Smith's rendition of Leyla is brilliant. Man, she oozes the juices out of you!
