beowulf00918 First let me say that I like a really good B movie. And that is exactly what you get with Look @ Me: a movie so bad it is good. It is so bad that originally I thought it was a Canadian film.Yes, the budget was low, but that only adds to the atmosphere, which is pretty much tongue in cheek.I have to take issue with those reviewers who complained the actress wasn't attractive enough. Have you seen the subscriber sites on the Internet lately? Small-chested, girl next door types are in. The fact that she was not some silicon based life form a la Pam Anderson gave her struggles to be free some touchstone in reality. (Granted, that reality is a cartoon universe where Tom & Jerry would feel at home.)My favorite part in the movie is when the bad guy tells Tina's friend Kathy that "Tina makes me forget that sex is connected to pain." This is ironic considering ---spoiler!---Tina has bashed, slashed, scalded and stabbed him in the neck with a broken bottle.I guess the moral of the story is that love hurts.

MBunge Look@Me is like a 40 year old virgin's idea of an erotic thriller. The filmmakers seem to know that this movie should have some nudity, sexual tension and violence in it, but they don't have the slightest idea of what to do with any of it.The movie focuses on Tina (Elina Madison), a woman who is some sort of banker or something during the day and is the World's Least Likely Internet Lingerie Model by night. Tina has a website where she poses in various skimpy outfits and leaves messages for her fans who pay for the privilege of looking at her. Now, before I go on with the plot, I have to point something out. Elina Madison isn't very attractive. She's not ugly, she's just a solid block of plain. Normally, I wouldn't make a big deal out of it…but in this movie she's supposed to be some great object of desire. The fact that she has a boyish figure, a flat chest and a hard, old face thoroughly destroys that illusion. That she can't act is incidental. I don't mean to be cruel and perhaps Miss Madison looks a lot better in real life than she does on screen, but how hard is it to get a pretty girl to star in a movie, even one as cheap and terrible as this?Anyway, one of Tina's website fans turns out to be a deranged stalker. His internet handle is Man46, but it would have been more appropriate for it to be Loser24/7. Man46 (Jeff Doba) kidnaps Tina and holds her prisoner in his basement. Well, theoretically he holds her prisoner. In reality, it would have taken a 6 year old about 90 seconds to escape from Man46 and his utterly incompetent efforts as a jailer. The fact that Tina never manages to do it is...well, I guess something we're not supposed to think about. And, in fairness, I should probably note that Jeff Doba is even less attractive than Elina Madison and is an even worse actor.Back at the so-called plot, Man46 is fixated on Tina. He thinks she's the one who can restore life to his penis, which we learn was apparently damaged in some sort of accident. Man46 is impotent, you see, something he's repeatedly taunted about during a long and bizarre session with the World's Worst Therapist. While Man46 is forcing Tina to pose for pictures and throwing her in a closet with where she's supposed to be tortured by loud noise, Tina's friend Kate (Tamkia Lamison) asks the World's Least Helpful Detective (Bryan Kent) to investigate Tina's disappearance. And just to continue the theme, Lamison and Kent are both less attractive and worse actors than either Madison or Doba. If this trend had kept going, they would have eventually had to cast deaf-mute quadruple amputees as supporting characters.I could go on about the detective's idiotic investigation and the cringe inducing scenes between captive Tina and Man46, but I think you can figure out where the story ends up going. Frankly, if I have to think about it any more, I'm going to start bleeding out of my eyes and ears.In case I haven't made it clear so far, Look@Me is a very, very bad movie. But as awful as the writing and acting and directing are, it's the incredibly cheap sets that are unforgettably terrible. I mean, these sets are worse than anything you'd find in a late 1970s episode of Doctor Who. Long after I've forgotten everything else about this movie, the image of those sets and a wardrobe that literally looked like whatever the cast could steal from local homeless men will remain burned into my brain.As horrible as this film is, there is one, single thing worthy of praise in it. Man46 is obsessed with Tina's supposed beauty, so he never really beats her up. He doesn't want to damage his lust object, so it makes sense. Tina, however, repeatedly beats the snot out of Man46 in the course of her failed escape attempts. He gets slashed, bashed, scalded and stabbed while she remains unharmed and unmarked. It's actually a clever twist on the whole "woman held hostage" story, though I'll never know how this flower sprouted in a swamp of suck.This is an abysmal movie with very little nudity and the only woman who gets naked isn't at all attractive. So, I guess if you're a eunuch with no taste, you might like Look@Me.

GMEllis625 Solid performances, solid direction and a solid plot lead to a surprisingly good film. Clearly made with a low budget, they spent the money on taking the time to find decent actors and a good director. They clearly didn't spend much on sets, but since most of the movie takes place in the main characters' basement cell it needed to be fairly stark.I enjoyed the development in the main character, who transforms from an opportunist using her beauty to get ahead to damsel in distress to a woman capable of making the choice she eventually has to make. The weakest part of the movie is the policeman, a part I think would have been much stronger had it been given to one of the other fans or her friend Kate. The police were clearly not interested in the case and I'm not sure why the director/writer continued that particular story line. The movie would have been stronger without it.I recommend this as a rental. Don't rent it for the sex as there is none. And don't rent it expecting a great mystery or thriller. But it is worth the rental fee as a good story and character development.

wrlang Look at Me is about an exhibitionist woman who gets some attention that she didn't expect from her sexy website. Why people would not expect to get whack jobs coming after them for posing on the web is beyond me, but some people seem to thing everyone is normal. Anyway, the whack job nabs the woman and holds her to do his bidding with mild torture and a lot of gratuitous violence and minor nudity. People try to save her and get caught up in the mad man's scheme with bad results. Some social commentary about how the web is a bad place, but its just like any other place. Bad people live there so be careful. An OK B+ movie with adequate acting and quality for a one time watch.
