The Amy Fisher Story

Rating:
Summary: Definetely the Best Movie on Long Island Lolita Amy Fisher.
Review: "THE AMY FISHER STORY" is not only one of Drew's best performances (VARIETY: Drew sizzles. An unbelievable TRUE STORY.) but it is also the less boring account of the life of the uncontrollable schoolgirl by day and prositute by night, Amy Fisher. The "Long Island Lolita" story is covered in it's entirety here. From Amy's 16th birthday, to the shooting of Mary Jo, to her affair with Joey, to the incredible press coverage after. There is an entire webpage devoted to this movie in Amy Fisher's website The point is that this is a great movie. Entertaining, fun and had two minutes of additional sex scenes added to video. The cover of the video is the one they have in the other THE AMY FISHER STORY title. I own the other video and it's a different cover. Apparently, on May 18 they are releasing the video again at a very low price (9.00) and with that cover, because May 19th marks the 8th anniversary of the shooting that changed Amy Fisher andMary Jo Buttafuoco's lives. Apparently, wanting to cash in on Amy Fisher's almost imminent release and the publicty that such a spectacle will set off, the ANCHOR BAY entertainment group has bought the rights to the video from ABC. I think it's great. they'll get a lot of free advertising. Anyway, GREAT MOVIE! If you wanna know more about her life you can buy AMY FISHER: my Story available here in amazon.com

Summary: Oh Moy Gawd!!
Review: 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.

Summary: Too Realistic?
Review: 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.

Summary: A movie as innacurate as the papers were.
Review: 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.

Summary: DAME GOOD MOVIE!! THE BEST BY FAR!!
Review: i have all 3 amy fisher movies still have yet to see the alyssa monlina one its coming in the mail soon exicted about that. First and formost i have to say this amy fisher movie is the best by far that i have seen drew was the best amy no one can deny that and the acting is fanstatic for a made for tv movie its incredible. The way drew potrayed amy is the way everyone saw her as a bitchy but innoncent girl who had alot of anger inside. You feel sorry for amy after watching this one (as you do in watching the other one with the one for nbc which i also wrote a review on) the movie potrays everyones acccount which i like it focous more on the scandel itself then the amy fisher story if you want to see that one watch lethal lotltia with noell parker great one also as i said. But by far drew is the best plain and simple no one did as good and no one can deny that!
