Probably the Worst Movie I ever Saw.
20 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was wrong in so many ways. I watched it because I am a fan of Colm Meaney, not only from "Star Trek", but "Hell on Wheels," "The Englishman Who Climbed...", but if you are also a fan, DO NOT WATCH, it will make you doubt any morality, sensibility , or intelligence Mr. Meany had in accepting this part. The basic premise is a young woman, (Colm Meaney's daughter ), gets so drunk that she is unable to fend off the sexual attack by the father of her best friend. Getting pregnant by this encounter, she is too embarrassed to say who the father is so she makes up a tale about a sailor. The rapist becomes unhinged and begins to stalk her, following her with declarations of undying love. Her father tells her she needs to relax and encourages her to go out DRINKING with her friends! The worst thing is that this is supposed to be a comedy!!!!! So let me summarize, BINGE DRINKING, RAPE OF A SEMI- CONSCIOUS WOMAN, SHAMING THE VICTIM, STALKING, DRINKING WHILE PREGNANT. Who the hell thought this was a good idea for a movie--why the hell did it get awards!!!!
