mehow-64125 Like the actor Jeremy Sumpter but overall not a good movie because most of the stuff he was looking at wasn't porn some was very bad. Lifetime does good movies but this wasn't one of them. I is fine they wanted to do a movie about audition to porn but not in that way and most of they don't realize that stuff can be blocked.

brainfood-1 Hilarious. This is better thought of as something akin to a particularly bad "ABC After School Special" than an actual film. It also does for internet porn what the original "Reefer Madness" did for marijuana, meaning it is completely laughable, has a one sided, religious moral agenda, and appears to have been written by people with no first hand understanding of the subject matter. And if you have no sense of humor about this because addiction can be such serious business, then I suggest you should be angry instead at the makers of this film for producing something so unrealistic, preachy and silly.One part that had me laughing was when our hero is berated by his fellow MALE TEENAGE teammates for being into "freaky porn" stuff on the internet. But is this film set at Liberty Baptist University and or some such puritanical environment? Nope. It's a regular school, a school where completely unrealistic male teenage boys live, apparently. Oh, and despite this aversion to porn, one of these same teammates has a psycho nymphomaniac exhibitionist girlfriend who features in the plot. Confused? Well, how about a teenage boy addicted to porn on the internet, who knows "a lot about computers" (according to his little brother) and how to get around parental lock programs and spy ware on a computer, but apparently doesn't know how to find porn on the internet WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT? And he also can't pay for it without using his Mom's credit card. But my favorite unintentionally funny scene shows Mom and Dad desperately trying to close incessant porno pop up ads on the family computer, treating it with such drama as to make you think this incident will scar them both irrevocably.In a sickeningly transparent scene near the end, our swimmer hero porn addict tries to apologize to his girlfriend (who happens to have a prominently displayed Jesus poster in her bedroom) and says he wants to go to church. Note the ridiculous use of the word "radical," and how it is suggested that going to church is tied in with redeeming oneself (in particular how the girlfriend offers hope they will have a future, but only AFTER he says he'll go to church). And in the end when our swimmer hero plunges into the water and has his moment where he decides he "wants to live," the baptism/born again metaphor is rather thick, as is the cheesy music. And I've never seen anyone smile so soon after attempting suicide. He must be thinking of going to church. I also find it interesting that this film has so much sympathy for a boy addicted to cyber porn (maybe because he grows a conscience when faced with actual sex?) but seems to have nothing but contempt for the girl he's drawn to in his mania, even though she is apparently the same age and has not only a addiction to sex but also a mental illness. We're only supposed to like our spineless hero and the girl with the Jesus poster, I guess.

DrWillHatch There are numerous(far, far too many to count) films, pieces of literature, art, music or otherwise, that are mediocre. They are pieces with admirable qualities balanced out by bad ones. The job of a film critic is to analyze the worth of the film through whatever proscription's are appropriate. As a lover of film, I am sadly kind to many to many films that I would call mediocre, and reserve my most scathing criticisms for those films which are either truly awful , or those with something that I deem has no redeeming value. Cyber Seduction:His Secret Life is an all around failure from what it set out to achieve(at least from what I think they were trying to achieve), and I am so glad that they did. This is one of the funniest, most laugh a minute films I've ever had the pleasure to watch. Seriously, it's like the director watched a Monty Python marathon for inspiration before making the film. For those who don't know, the film concerns the trend of pornography addiction among teenagers. I'm not sure of the actually studies done, but this film is comparable to "Reefer Madness" in its exaggeration of the "problem"(though much funnier). Jeremy Sumpter is a teen who has a bright future ahead of him. He is a talented competitive swimmer, has a "proper" girlfriend, and is a good example to his younger brother. Through some sort of plot contrivance(I haven't seen it since it came out- minor details aside, it left a big an impression on me), he discovers the joys of stimulation, which eventually leads to his, and several others lives ruined in the process. A lot of the humor comes through sheer absurdity. First of all, the porn he discovers couldn't be more tame(later on, in one of the funniest moments of the movie, his swim mates receive pda images of people wearing latex, which we are supposed to interpret to be bondage porn). It is mostly a bunch of plain looking women dancing around unsexily in bras and panties. Secondly, you never actually see him masturbate. Actually, it is more likely that he is a zombified addict due of the energy drinks like Red Bull that he excessivly consumes. You might blame his stupidity(he never closes the door) on his mother, who is played by Kelly Lynch with absolute zero knowledge of even the most basic concepts of sexuality. It could be a genetic trait. Eventually his younger brother becomes addicted to pornography as well and he leaves his private disc("Virgin Vaginas") to be easily found in his dresser drawer(which was totally unnecessary, he could of hid it easily from his illiterate mother and doofus father on his PC). Did I mention that he loses all interest in his girlfriend and causes his family to crumble?The film wouldn't be nearly as successful had I not been drawn in by the characters. I have to give credit to the two main actors. I saw this film almost directly after I saw Jermey Sumpter in "Peter Pan", which I loved him in. In this film he is very likable, and portrays the idiotic character with such seriousness and earnestness that you can't help but like hima little . It's not his fault that he was born in such a strange alternate reality where, honestly, red blooded teenage boys lament over the dangers of bondage(which isn't really bondage), and slutty girls try to commit suicide after the first "date". Kelly Lynch is fun to watch, as she plays the entirely overzealous and nonsensical crusader with a straight face, and it adds another level of irony that she apparently has no problem with "doing nudity"(I wouldn't know, I've never seen her in another picture). The whole film plays this way, the characters act so out of proportion with how people in real life act, but with such likability and seriousness that you can't help but laugh. I can't really describe how ridiculous this movie gets without telling you about that the film is bookmarked by two instances of tragedy. The aforementioned scene where a slutty girl Jeremy met off the internet bangs her head on a marble sink after Jeremy realizes he's in over his head, and two instances of him looking like hes committing suicide. Whether it was intentional or not, this film actually managed to be somewhat intelligent in its commentary. Through all the absurdity, I think viewers might get the message that you shouldn't be espousing the dangers of something or someone without first doing the proper research. If you don't, you'll end up looking like a complete fool(like the mother). You might say that nothing tragic would of happened had she just followed her husbands initial advice, and let him do his own carnal explorations(which he should of been doing which he was much younger). I gave this a 9 because it truly made me laugh, the IMDb bottom 100 should be reserved for films with no talent in stimulating anything, except my revile.

actionmoviestar "Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life" is the type of Lifetime picture that premieres every once or two weeks dealing with the same matter about kids getting involved in adult activities and or partaking in adult materials. Obviously, given the title, the film is no different. This movie tells the tale of a successful high school sophomore that develops a deep, unhealthy obsession to internet porn. While this film has it's heart in the right place it is, at times, unintentionally laughable, so laughable that you would think it would have made for a good Saturday Night Live parody.As stated, this is not a bad film it's just that it feels uneven in some scenes. For example, when Justin Petersen's(played by Jeremy "Peter Pan" Sumpter)mother is talking to his father asking him if he fantasizes about other women, he replies back "Honey you fulfill all my fantasies and not just the sexual ones." Now when the writers wrote that line did they think that people would actually take that line of dialogue seriously? It is as if they couldn't think of nothing else to write so they decided to add that line in the script to further enhance the boy's growing problem with porn addiction.Another major flaw in this movie is that, the characters often did stupid things where you just wanted to yell at the TV, "Are you really that stupid?" Tell me how all of a sudden the school slut/popular girl, who happens to be a senior, would take interest in a shy, quiet goody goody sophomore. Also, would a person be that obsessed with porn that they would watch it, on their palm pilot while at a swim meet around hundreds of people? It just doesn't make any sense. I know in movies, you suppose to suspend disbelief but are they expecting us to buy this stuff?? Above all "Cyber Seduction" message is intended to be strong but it falls by on the wayside. Though not a bad film, whenever you need a good laugh be sure to check this one out.
