Product Description

What are best friends for? After the divorce from her abusive husband, Ellie's best friend, Una, sets her up with the perfect man. With his good looks, charm and sensitivity, Ellie thinks she has it all. But with a high price tag on her life insurance policy, Una's intentions are less than genuine. In a twisted triangle of love, money and deception, Ellie discovers that her best friend is more of an enemy, and the good Dr. Jesse is more deadly than dreamy.

You're terrific, Helen!.......2005-10-23

Ever since I saw SUPERGIRL in the theatre, I have always had a crush on Helen Slater. Sadly, she has not done a whole lot of films since then. Some 20 years later, I adore her every bit as much as I did way back in the 1980s! Although she is from New York, she has this midwestern girl-next-door sweetheart quality about her that SO intoxicates me.

Now on to the movie. The bad news is, it does not rank above "OK." Although predictable, the plot was very contrived and beyond the realm of the believable. The ending looked like it was edited with a chain saw. Instead of coming to an end, the movie more-or-less just kind of "stops."

The good news is that Helen Slater stars in the film! (Did I mention that yet, perchance?). Also, the rest of the actors are pretty good too, including Kelly Lebrock. The fact that Helen appears topless in the film becomes one of its biggest selling points.

This is not a great movie, by any stretch of the imagination. It is basically a B movie that stars some actors who have been in A movies in the past. For Helen Slater fans (like me!), however, the film is a must-have. End of story.

For Helen's fans only.......2005-08-14

This is the movie that every Helen Slater fan will want to have in his DVD collection. The bad thing is that this DVD edition has no features at all, not even a chapter menu. I can't understand why someone would produce a DVD without the basic features of a DVD, as the scene selection. But the picture quality is very good and the colors sharp what not happen with the VHS edition. This movie has an unbelievable plot but is saved by the good performances of Helen Slater as the young mother Ellie West and Heather Lind as her daughter Autumn West. The seven year's old Autumn is so bright and cute that you will believe that she has just arrived from Argo City. She even has eyes with the same incredible color of her mother's. To have a so smart daughter is good for Ellie who is thrown inside a conspiracy where everybody wants to kill her, even her ex-husband, her best friend and her doctor. Here is where you will need to have a lot of what they call suspension of disbelief to enjoy this movie. A woman like Ellie would never have an ex-husband like that because she would never marry him in the first place. But even with a bad plot this is an enjoyable movie. And, of course, there is the famous sex scene where The Phantom makes love with Supergirl under the moonlight. Something you will never see in the comics.
