This film is an extremely entertaining psychological thriller with Carrol Baker excellent as a rich American widow getting away from it all at a secluded Italian villa. Enter smart aleck down on his luck playboy, Lou Castel, who has some golddigging motives behind his slick hipster seduction techniques and has no qualms about how he gets what he wants. He encourages Baker's character's incipient alcoholism and dubious self-esteem, brings in his supposed 'sister' to help drag Baker even further into a maze of sick mind games, drug addiction and group sex, all culminating in a descent into near-madness and self-destructive depravity.
I won't give away anymore, suffice to say that the film delivers on its swinging sixties, Euro sleaze ambience and psychological suspense thriller credentials in spades. Director Umberto Lenzi's work has been, at best, uneven and he's churned out his share of crap. However, he made some quite good giallos and crime pictures in the sixties and seventies and this is one of them (other good films by Lenzi -- SPASMO, SEVEN BLOODSTAINED ORCHIDS, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, to name only a few).
Unfortunately this film is ofen confused with another okay but not-quite-as-good Lenzi film that was also released briefly here in America under the same PARANOIA title (but is more commonly known, especially on video, as A QUIET PLACE TO KILL).
不该跟男二道歉吗？？？这个欧阳万成的表演真的是还没有他戏里的奶奶演的好…
妮娜咋老成这样了 心塞塞 但是Everyone needs a little Christmas romance 作为一个圣诞电影 还是完成了使命的 :)
其实很肥皂剧情也很cliche. 但这不正是现在各种烧脑犯罪严肃政治题材一统天下大环境里难得的么？好久好久好久没看过非千禧年及更早的无脑轻松喜剧片了。
emmmm看不进去这个电影。2倍速看完 尴尬
哈哈哈，就这个摔跤节目的非裔评论主持人已经是参考了美国NBA某著名非裔主持人为原型，真的，他每次节目就“义愤填膺”睁的炯炯有神的眼睛面对镜头跟同桌的其他主持人“抬杠”主旨大多就是“我评的对，你评的垃圾，你闭嘴”，完全get不到他的支持风格。。。每个村有自己的球队有自己的明星，那真的是全村的希望。。。
三星半，大團圓結局並不一定要告白擁吻，暫停在「be honest about who I am」就剛剛好。
such a cliché 这种Asian男和白女的搭配感觉也有特意讨好亚洲观众之嫌
But then the insecurities creep in, and you start with a slight exaggeration. Still you, just a shinier version. But… you like it. So you tweak it just a little more until the real you, which was probably pretty great to begin with, is unrecognisable. / I’ve been so focused on other people’s dishonesty that I never really stopped to look at my own.
上一次看Nina，还是吸血鬼日记。时代的眼泪🥲
流水線的劇情+聖誕氣氛=永遠有人看的網絡大電影。即使是cast了一個不符合主流審美的亞裔男性做浪漫愛情喜劇的男主角，不一定代表進步好嗎。（雖然Jimmy O Yang是很搞笑我也蠻喜歡他的）
爆米花电影，好莱坞华人面孔太少了，出现一个眯眯眼镜男还挺新鲜的。
英国今天网飞第二，好奇点开来看看，很普通的一部流水线作品，但是值得夸奖的是完全没有刻意强调男主亚裔的身份
这种叙事清楚有趣，有点笑料，又有点感动的romcom最适合冬天窝在家，捧杯自制奶茶抱着电脑看了～喜欢Grandpa蜡烛。romcom其实想这样让人看着舒服就挺不容易的了 ps感觉喜剧人特别适合演romcom，可能之后李诞志胜也可以尝试～
真的很适合圣诞看的那种电影。有很浓的圣诞风味和美式喜剧的风格。当今的网络交友文化似乎是处于一种被包装的鉴赏行为，好像真实的东西很难看见其光芒。无论现实还是虚拟世界都有这样的缺陷的趋势，而这部电影却尝试去纠正这样的看法，从网络世界到现实，正视真正的真诚。虽然在有些拍法过于简约，个人觉得josh和Natalie 的故事可以有更多的展示。剧情其实基本都能猜测到，圣诞临近了，看看这种简单的喜剧爱情片也无疑不是一种温暖。
这个结局是借鉴的哪个电影还是广告来着，想不起来好急啊
典型的节日电影，就过渡一下时间吧，里面有首歌挺好听
其实没想到点开之后会这么好笑，前面四十分钟的各种冲突各种梗差点把我笑吐，男主角确实适合走喜剧卦，他挖苦女主的几个戏都差点把我笑死，可惜后面确实看得出来演技不太OK。不过是好看的一部圣诞电影，本来以为又是网飞的一部粗制滥造的节日电影，没想到完全超过预期，至少我笑疯了，最后的真爱至上梗有让我挤两滴眼泪。
这片子的选角搭配放以前简直难以想象，欧阳万成这种普通亚裔连脸能做RC电影男主。未来越来越多的亚裔开始有机会做好莱坞电影的主角，不管烂片好片，露脸机会多，才能逐渐消除偏见。
不管怎样，意料之外永远是你应该不用担心的事，因为那也许才是你真正想要的
圣诞浪漫喜剧，为了happy ending，结局显得不真实嘎嘎
