Review of Lovely Molly (2011) by Victor Q — 20 Nov 2012
Something tells me this movie, like most, started out as a pretty decent book, and as most readers will say, "The book was better." This leaves me with four fundamental questions: (1) Where IS the book? (2) If they're going to show full frontal nudity, why not recruit MEGAN FOX to play Molly? (3) Does a waif-thin actress really possess enough lower arm strength to drive a screwdriver into a full-grown man's skull? (4) Why, oh why do I keep renting junk from REDBOX?
That being said, I have finally learned my lesson and will from now on either buy my junk from Amazon, Goodwill, or borrow the DVDs from friends.
Back to the movie itself, what can I say? Did I really sit through 99 minutes of --what DID I sit through 99 minutes of, anyway? The movie was so phenomenally forgettable that I have to look it up on Wikipedia to remind myself what I just watched.
Oh yeah, the newlyweds in the big, haunted house. Wife left alone while trucker husband goes off to do his thing (it would have been nice to see him actually driving a big rig, but I guess that wasn't in the budget). Wife goes crazy and becomes a serial killer. Interesting concept. Also interesting is the choice of murder weapon: the phillips screwdriver!
Man, Eduardo Sánchez was sitting on a goldmine with that one but rather than take off with that theme, he dropped the ball and blew the cake out with the candles even worse than the way I mix metaphors.
The short version of my diatribe is this: don't waste your time. Pop "Serial Mom" into your DVD player for better entertainment.
