CGiii Comment

In just three days, I can make you a...lesbian.

Oooooh, there's something distinctly unpleasant about this film. A lesbian predator, watched by her lesbian audience...as she descends on her not-a-lesbian-yet prey...

Does she succumb?

Well, you'll have to go through a mountain of sentimentality, some dire dialogue...and, a pinch of voodoo to find out...

Of course she does...!

And then, the story takes a fatal nose-dive...a very serious subject (assisted suicide) is addressed and administered in less than 2 minutes.

How long was all this supposed to take? The timeline is all over the place...

It's almost as if...in just three days, I can...meet, stalk, and get...killed.

Seriously, it's very difficult to take any of this seriously.

The(ir) Blurb...

Every year, Liz, a hardcore party girl and womanizer, celebrates her birthday with her friends at a Caribbean beach retreat. This year is different. She is sick but hates pity, so she hides her terminal illness. When a young woman outsider arrives, Liz friends dare her to seduce her. But the ingenue is deeply wounded by the recent death of her young son, and nothing turns out as expected.
