lovefromgirl (No, seriously, I am going to spoil you. May lightning strike my annoying neighbors if I lie.) This is not a love story. Not exactly.See, I went into "Cherish" thinking it would be a lot heavier on the romantic comedy and not so much on the suspense. The trailer I saw was misleading that way. The truth is that it's a story about a quirky girl who finds herself in a boatload of trouble, and somewhere in there is a man with whom she could be quite happy--but the film zigged where I'd have zagged, and so there is no on-screen payoff for Zoe and Daly. Given the chemistry between them, that disappointed me. Still, it was worth the two hours and fifteen minutes I spent watching it on IFC, and Robin Tunney is charming as all-get-out. Also, I now want to explore the crawl space in the closet in the next room over.

ruthann-renaud I saw this movie a few months ago on a local TV station on the late, late show. It looked good and I stayed with it to the end. It's a good chick flick with enough to hold anybody's interest. The fact that Zoe's apartment becomes a prison and she makes do with what she has gets interesting and intriguing. Zoe's relationship with the man who keeps attaching her monitoring device was also quite interesting. That was several months ago. The other night, the same station rebroadcast the same movie on the late, late show and what I saw came across as a totally different movie--different plot twists, etc. from what I saw several months ago. Perhaps an alternate version exists...please check.

mw542003 I happened upon this movie and loved it! It's nice to see a movie that's really worth your time. It was so simply done - taking place for the most part in one room. It didn't require big explosions, etc. I think when a movie like this is good, it really says something about what it takes to make a good film. I'm not familiar with the actor who played Daly. But I will look for more of him. In the beginning of the movie, the Daly character is not attractive. But as his character and relationship to Zoe progresses, you just love him. I just wish that he and Zoe could have ended up saying goodbye or something. I wanted something more for him. I loved it!!!!!

ArizWldcat This is one of my favorite independent films. Yeah, the storyline may not be original, but Robin Tunney and Tim Blake Nelson do such a good job that you just love their characters (at least I did) and you want everything to turn out well for them. When I saw this in the theater originally, I loved the soundtrack, as it fit the storyline so well. The 80s songs featured are so cheesy and they fit the stalker theme. This film is so obviously low budget, but the actors involved made the story interesting, and I got so wrapped up in the story that I didn't care about the "little things." The DVD is well made, with an entertaining commentary track and an interesting "making of" featurette. What more could a film geek want?
