| User ReviewAdrienne LDrew Barrymore won the ratings war with her performance as Amy Fisher (The Long Island Lolita) back in the early 90's on tv beating Alyssa Milano and some other nameless chick. |
| User ReviewNicholas EThe movie shows us the wrong pespective, we should be hearing about Mary Jo Buttafuoco or at least get to sympathize with her. What the movie gets wrong is that it tries to create a victim out of the Long Island Lolita. Barrymore, though, saves the film with her excellent performance. |
| User ReviewJay BA pretty well done TV movie featuring lots of insight and one of Barrymore's better performances. |

| User ReviewMuffin MOn May 19th 1992, 17-year-old high school student Amy Fisher (Drew Barrymore) fired a bullet into the head of Mary Jo Buttafuoco (Laurie Paton), the wife of the bodyshop owner with whom she claimed to have been having a sexual affair. But in the explosive media frenzy that followed, did the truth become the most innocent victim of all? This is the sensational true story of lust, greed and obsession that shocked the nation. also stars Anthony John Denison, Harley Jane Kozak, Ken Angel, Lindsay Bourne, Gary Chalk, Linda Darlow and Garry Davey. directed by Andy Tennant. |
| User ReviewRichard DOf the three Amy Fisher TV movies, this is the one that doesn't take Joey's or Amy's side. I think it really kind of suffers in this regard, lacking a clear purpose and direction. After an entertaining first act that is full of the kind of overheated melodrama you expect from TV exploitation flicks, it really loses focus and just meanders around introducing plot points and characters seemingly at random. Perhaps it just assumes that all viewers will be completely familiar with all the details of the real story ... a fair assumption perhaps in 1993, but not this many years later. |
