This review is from: Desperate for Love (DVD)
Movies based upon true stories are often the most thrilling ones of all. "Desperate for Love" is a film about a rural small town in Georgia. Lily Becker, (Tammy Lauren), loves Alex, the high school football star and musician, one of the popular students. Cliff Petry, (Christian Slater), is Lily's childhood friend and one of the unpopular kids. He is also Alex's friend. These three teenagers' become embroiled in a triangle of passion, lust, and obsession that results in tragedy. When Alex's parents forbid him to continue his relationship with Lily, the manipulative "woman scorned" turns her attentions onto Cliff, using his love for her and her seductive beauty to win Alex back.My plot overview might put the viewer in mind of a "Fatal Attraction" scenario, but this film has much more depth than your average "femme fatale" movie. All the characters are multi-faceted, particularly Lauren and Slater's characters. Lily Becker is manipulative, but the viewer catches revealing glimpses of a tumultuous family life that might provide a reason, (if not an excuse), for her actions. Cliff is portrayed as a young man seeking to discover his identity and the reason for his father's desertion of his mother. These two teenagers are sympathetically drawn. Both Tammy Lauren and Christian Slater turn in engaging performances, and the other performers are equally good. Please give this movie a chance. God bless you all.
