How much you enjoy this movie will depend upon how much interest you have in Amy Fisher's story. Absent the fact that it is based upon real events, it is not all that exciting. It is well acted and filmed and makes some interesting comments upon the media, but that's all. From the perspective of realism and professionality, it is the best film made about Amy Fisher, but as a result is far less amusing than the other two films made from the perspective of Amy and Joey. It is more difficult to find humour in the characters when they are more real. This film, vs. the other two, shows equal sympathy (and condemnation) towards all those involved. Thus, as an exploitation film, it is not that great. The liner notes in the booklet about what Fisher and co. are doing now is far more entertaining and bizarre than anything in the film. Regarding the few new minutes added, I can see why they would be edited out of TV broadcasts, but they barely rate anything more than a PG-13.

Watching this film did not leave me wanting to regain lost time, but it's not particularly memorable and I can't picture myself watching it a second time.

I watched this for Drew and she did not disappoint.

This was a very interesting role for her to agree to do...she was quite impressive. Her accent and the way she carried herself was fantastic. I wish it could have gone into more detail...I thought the story was too vague. If I had any questions about what happened they wouldn't really have been answered here...there are too many conflicting stories...it doesn't make sense to me that Amy Fisher was the only person convicted of anything...maybe that's the point?

Drew can do no wrong in my book...I'd watch her paint a fence! If you're an admirer I'd like to suggest you buy this film...if you're not, I'd like to suggest you'd at least rent it. It's worth a peek.

Drew was simply dazzling in the Amy Fisher story. We all know
the
history of the event...young girl from Long Island shoots
her lover/.../car mechanic's wife in the head on her very own
front porch. I've seen all the Amy Fisher movies and Drew blew all
the others away. Her hair, her makeup, her clothes, her gawdy Long
Island accent are all perfect. I don't know Amy Fisher personally, but
Drew made Amy lovable yet moody, innocent yet dangerous! The
only complaint I have is the casting of Joey Buttafucco's character.
The actor was better looking and way too polished to be Joey, but
that's Hollywood for you.

I forced myself to sit through this movie when it aired on television the first time. Although the acting was decent, perhaps even good, it was based, unfortunately, primarily on the tabloids and inaccurate accounts in the newspapers/television reports. How do I know this? Simple. I grew up in Bellmore, Long Island and went to school, and was friends with Amy (which, btw, is not the correct spelling of her name, just another instance of the press not bothering to check their facts).
I personally feel watching this video, or any movie based upon the unfortunate real life (no matter how inaccurate) events of unfortunate people is tacky at best, but if you're going to watch it, please don't take it as the gospel of what really happened.

GOOD PLOT EVEN FOR A TRUE STORY. HEE! HEE! DREW AS USUAL WAS AWSOME SHE PLAYED THE ROLE BETTER THAN ANYONE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY DONE AND I ENJOYED EVERY MOMENT OF HER [DREW]. CASPER

The girl who played Amy was phenominal,I saw this on lifetime a while ago.And I don't watch Lifetime,chic channel.But I was definately captivated,and thought
she had the accent down,I went to school with and hung out with these chicks.She was academy worthy.

IOkay, first off, I am not 13, I just don'thave time to go through everything in registering and all that jazz. I am too young to remember the actual case and facts,etc,etc. But, i just saw the Alyssa Milano vertion on Encore this morning (and cannot find the DVD)
I am a big Drew fan too. This is an interesting story, you couldn't make this stuff up. Does anybody know where I can find the DVD w/ Ms. Milano in it?

I saw this movie and I thought that it was really good.Everyone knows the story of Amy Fisher and knows what she did.Drew took the role, and turned it into a great achievement.She can really play Amy to the best, and if you see this movie, you will see what she can do!!!
