Summary: Wonderfully funny movie
Review: Love this movie! After watching it on TV for the umptenth time, have decided to buy the DVD. It will be great to pull off the shelf for a good time! It's a humorous compilation of several good thriller/suspense movies, with a 1950-60s backdrop. Love the scene where they call recess during the courtroom trial.

Summary: Good film, finally on DVD, but... in full screen?!?
Review: No, thanks. The commentary and outtakes are a perfect addition, but the film's being in awful full screen format ruins it immediately. I'll wait for a real, widescreen version, even if it's without the extras.

Summary: Sean Young is the best thing about this movie
Review: The film is well-intentioned, but David O'Malley is a lousy parody writer, cranking out jokes that make it seem like he wasn't even trying to make the movie funny and Armand Assante (although he proves he's good at comedy) is miscast. However, Sean Young, spouting a blond wig, is very attractive, sultry and hot in her role as seductive Lola Cain, and her character's beauty alone makes the movie tolerable every time it comes on Comedy Central. Bill Wine summed this movie up when he said,"Fatal Instinct is everything but funny."

Summary: If you like Airplane, you'll howl at this gem of a movie
Review: This brand of comedy is not for all, but if you like Airplane, Naked Gun, etc., then you'll love this movie. Some like this type of humor only with Leslie Nielson as the lead, but Armand Assante pulls this one off superbly as the dragnet-type of detective who happens to be a lawyer. Sean Young is terrific in her role as Lola, a scheming femme fatale. The movie spoofs other movies, but even if you don't catch them all, the humor is nonstop and, in some cases, hilarious enough to chuck your popcorn all over the floor...

Summary: A Total Waste
Review: This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is a total waste of a talented cast and my time to watch it. Anyone who doesn't believe me, can have my copy for the cost of sending it to you. Not worth keeping in my collection, as I will never watch it again. One star rating is too generous.

Summary: Fatally Funny: A Parody Of The 90's Classic Thrillers
Review: This movie was on tv about a week ago. I could not stop laughing. The comedy is top notch in much the same lines of The Naked Gun/Leslie Nielson movies. On DVD, the experience must be as hilarious as its original release in 1993. Armand Assante (yes a serious actor in a comic role really works although they could have easily used Leslie Nielson for the part) stars as the victim of the scheming Lola (Sean Young) who will stop at nothing to see his marriage ruined. Like the title suggests, the movie is a cross between Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct. Those were the two most standard thrillers during the early 90's period. Both films starred Michael Douglas as the target of a scheming and obscessed woman. The laughs keep on coming as the obvious parodies are executed. I.E. the famous Interrogation Scene in Basic Instict, the murder in the bath tub and the cooked rabbit in Fatal Attraction. Also on here are parodies of Sleeping With The Enemy starring Julia Roberts and Patrick Bergin, a 1991 thriller about a husband who is obscessed with his own wife and who likes to have his own things in the house arranged his way. This movie is really great comedy and really will take you to the 90's. The 90's is long gone and many were too little to remember everything in detail. But it was a time in which movies were full of thrillers. I wish they had made a spoof of "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle" on this film too. It was a time of laughing at criminals and their schocking crimes. Remember the Melendez Brothers ? Remember Lorena Bobbit ? And let's not forget the secret plotting of Tonya Harding against Nancy Carrigan. All this happened in the 90's. This was the time of the O.J. Simpson trial after all. I really recommend this movie. Many can easily dismiss it as cheap comedy but there are some genuinely comic moments, such as Armand Assante and Sean Young's lovemaking scene, the final part of the movie is funny too. A must have for fans of comedies of the 90's.

Summary: Bad Reviews? I Don't Know Why...
Review: This movie was slammed by critics. The most common review of this said that there was 'just too many jokes' in it. I watched it with a critical eye, and thought it was a really fun movie. I didn't laugh out loud with tears running down my face, but did spend the entire run time giggling at the antics of all the characters. The cast consists of several Serious Actors (Kate Nelligan, Armand Assante) who play their parts as though they were in a drama. To me, those are excellent comedic acting skills. It's when actors play for laughs that they are not funny. You might not be tickled by this one if you aren't familiar with the 'film noir' and detective film genre. If you are a fan of those, you will laugh as you recognize all the devices in those films over-used to good effect in this one. I had a good time watching it...give it a try!

Summary: Great Fun!
Review: Yes, it is a ripoff but what good spoof is not! Everybody from Armand Assante to Sean Young and the rest of the cast play their roles seriously and let the jokes happen. Kudos to the writers for putting together a script that works so well and pooh on Leonard Matlin for being so huffy about this film!

Summary: Fatal Instinct,Basic Attraction
Review: Yes,this film is a combination of BASIC INSTINCT and FATAL ATTRACTION. Michael Douglas who starred in both those films should have starred in this one. I believe he would have been naturally perfect for Armand Assante's starring role. This is a spoof like the three Naked Gun movies and National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1. One of the characters in this film is Max Shady,which is a spoof of Max Cady,a character in CAPE FEAR played by the late Robert Mitchum in the original and Robert DeNiro in the remake. There are cameos by Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O'Donnell. This film was dircted by Carl Reiner,the comic actor famous for The Dick Van Dyke Show. Reiner directed quite a few films like his son Rob. The elder Reiner directed films long before his son.
