VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Steineded How sad is this?

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Douglas Hamilton The story of the Novack murders was unknown to me until I saw this movie. What they did was to turn this awful tragedy to a bad comedy pretty close to "War of the Roses" but in contrast to "Beautiful and twisted" that one was actually funny. I think almost everything went wrong in this production including bad acting, bad manuscript, confusing time jumps, confusing personality changes, lack of action, lack of drama, lack of humor and lack of energy. The movie begins in a humorous mode so I thought it was a dark comedy, but that's an absurd thought considering the tragic evens the plot is based on. I haven't seen Rob Lowe in too many movies but I didn't know he was that bad actor. Also, in real life Narcy's daughter May has two sons. They were not mentioned at all in the movie. Instead May was portrayed as a good little fairy with no agenda at all in life than serving her stepfather and his business as well as possible. How someone can produce a so unprofessional piece of work 2015 is beyond comprehension.

Desertman84 Beautiful And Twisted is an original Lifetime TV movie based on the true story about the Novack Murders and their investigation.It stars Rob Lowe,Paz Vega and Candace Bergen.It touches on themes about love,greed,excess and weirdness.The setting of the story is at Miami,Florida where a millionaire and heir to a hotel fortune,Ben Novack,Jr goes to a strip club and meets a beautiful and sexy stripper,Narcy.Ben falls for her and they decide to get married going against the wishes of his mother,Bernice.Their marriage is characterized that of kinkiness,adultery,violence,awkwardness and intense love for another.However,it then led to distrust for one another which led to the murders of both Bernice and Ben.A police investigation was made and later found out that the culprits were Narcy and her brother,Cristobal with the motive of acquiring the family fortune.If there is one reason to see this movie,it is Paz Vega.I love her portrayal as Nancy as the femme fatale.While it may not be an Emmy- Award winning performance,I must say that it was definitely entertaining for it is filled with a lot of sexiness and humor.Also,she made Narcy an interesting character.As for compelling characters,it was also nice to see Rob Lowe provide an entertaining performance as well as Ben Novack,the battered and constantly outsmarted husband. It has qualities of campiness and silliness that the viewer will definitely find it fun and entertaining.

Bob Rutzel This is based upon a true story.Ben Novak Jr (Rob Lowe) inherited the famous Fountainebleau Hotel in Florida. He married Narcy (Paz Vega), a stripper and pole dancer and she has a daughter,/ May (Seychelle Gabriel). Later Narcy accuses Ben of being unfaithful. Let the games begin. In the beginning we see that Ben is dead, but he narrates the story anyway. They can do this in Hollywood. The narration is almost tongue-in-cheek and Ben holds no animosity toward Narcy, who becomes the center of a police investigation and he actually, kind of, blames himself as he believes he and Narcy were similar. When he is first attacked he doesn't want to file formal charges against Narcy because the publicity would harm his business.Also in the beginning we will see some kinky sex stuff as young Ben is exposed to the Stripper world. It doesn't last long and after that there is no more, but it is shown to show Ben's upbringing in this arena and perhaps accumulating his taste for kinky sex. Candace Bergan plays Ben's mother Bernice and does a credible job, but the scene where she dances (awkwardly) with a expensive sable wrap was wholly out of place and embarrassing to watch. Thankfully that scene doesn't last long. Because Narcy knows that Ben's Will gives everything to Bernice, Narcy has some work for her brothers. Later when Ben wants to legally adopt May, Narcy knows there is more work to be done. Hard to believe there are people like Narcy out there, but there are. See the statements at the end of the movie to find out what happened to everyone. (5/10)Violence: Yes. Sex: Yes. Nudity: Yes, briefly in the beginning. Language: No.

edwagreen This film is far from beautiful and I would agree with rather bent or twisted.It's another opportunity for Rob Lowe to play in a lunatic like film. He is brought up in extraordinary wealth and largely ignored by his jet-setting parents. By later in the film, the mother, ably played by a very aged Candice Bergen admits that her marriage to the wealthy magnate was far from a bargain.The murder scenes are gruesome to say the least as Ben (Lowe) gets the idiot of the year award for putting up with his dazzling but beautiful wife and her escapades of violent behavior directed at him and his mother.Neurotically sick best describes this film and it doesn't exactly show the Florida police as being savvy in the beginning to figure out what is going on here.
