I’ve had free screenings before, but this is the first one here that I was paid to watch.

From the director of “Pet Sematary”, Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” video, and “Pet Sematary 2″… cinematographer of “Smoke Signals” and editor of “Ernest Goes To Jail”. The girl from “How To Get Ahead In Advertising” is a nurse who saves the life of the guy from “Lost”, who is very rich and collects guns. They marry then she meets his son, a horse-riding house-building soap-opera hottie and falls for him instead.

Dad comes to the house toting an antigue gun, where son tosses him off an unfinished deck onto the hard, hard rocks below. The wife/stepson affair comes out during the trial, but the son totally gets away with it, then the girl catches on and there’s a fight and the son falls off the same railing. He doesn’t die though, lives on as a paraplegic in a plot twist that IMDB users are calling “horrible and confusing”, “in bad taste”, or at least “certainly silly”.

Between this and “Wicked Minds”, the other stepson/stepmom illicit romance I watched at work today, I figure I earned about $75. Not too bad.
