Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
The date movie of the late 1980s, this had everyone arguing in the aisles. Does Michael Douglas deserve the unwanted attention he and his family are receiving at the hands of loony stalker Glenn Close? After a weekend extramarital affair with colleague Close, he returns home to wife Anne Archer, and Close becomes progressively angrier. You might even say she is boiling bunny mad.

Directed by Adrian Lyne, this is not your average thriller, as it garnered six Academy Award nominations. The plot is too obvious, but the dialogue rings true and the intense performances hold the story together. Anne Archer deserves kudos for side-stepping cliché as the strong but frightened wife, and Close is a scream as she chews up the scenery.

The film's original ending, which was reshot after poor preview screenings, has been added to the video release. --Rochelle O'Gorman

- Ultimate Cautionary Tale
Definitely the ultimate cautionary tale; this is the "Blood on the Asphalt" driver's ed video for marriages. It's not often that one particular film adds to society's vernacular. Alex was the first "bunny boiler", though she seems to have quite a following out in the real world. Gentlemen, think twice.

- Gift
My daughter had never seen this movie and for some reason had missed it on T.V. So I purchased it for her. She said it is one of her favorites and the quality of the dvd was excellent.

- Just Remeber that Men Can Unravel As Well
This was a slick thriller that was hard to look away from.

It was awfully warm and fuzzy watching an attractive family that had it all. It was equally chilling watching things melt down as Alex refused to let go.

As for Ellen and her haircut, I have never lost any sleep over it. However, I will point out that Adrian Lyne has a habit of casting offbeat kids. I though Erik Per Sullivan was great in Unfaithful, although from a strictly physical perspective he was not the cutest child. It is hard telling, but perhaps Lyne does not want overly beautiful children upstaging his adult stars or storylines.

I loved Fred Gwynne's cameo role as Dan's boss. It was a shame that Gwynne was so typecast early in his career and that he only had a short list of serious film roles.

My only real concern about Fatal Attraction is that some people perhaps walked away with the verdict ... Read More

- Lost a bit of it's spark over the years but still good
I remember when the film came out. Film goers were talking about it.

Of course, the memorable lines & scenes.

To me it has lost a bit of it's edge over the passage of 21 years.

Well acted by the 3 principles.

1 THING I HAVE ALWAYS HATED ABOUT IT & STILL BOTHERS ME TODAY. What was the deal with the kid Ellen's hair? I THOUGHT IT WAS A GIRL BUT WITH THAT BOYS HAIR CUT? A boy named Ellen?

Some good extras on the DVD. Having the laser disc of the film I had already scene the "original ending" to the film.

At the height of Michael's successful film streak in the 1980's. With the purchase of this DVD I now have the 3 roles of Glenn's I like, besides this 1 "Air Force One" & "101 Dalmatians".

`Don't ignore it" JUST IGNORE THE KID'S HAIR CUT.
