He Loves Me (2011) Reviews

• Don't let the low IMDb rating fool you.

  This was a most enjoyable TV movie with a completely unexpected plot twist. And how could you not like something with the delectable Max Martini in it? Ever since The Unit was (unjustly) cancelled and his character was (sadly) killed off in Revenge, there is just not enough of this man on TV. The people who gave this such an inexplicably low rating must be teenagers who just aren't interested in a suspenseful movie that concerns the lives of those who are (gasp!) over 40. (And in Ms. Locklear's case, 50!). Or maybe the lack of comic book characters or gruesome, mindless splatter violence turns them off. Either way, don't pay any attention to the low rating given this little gem.

• He Loves Me... Better off Not Loving Her **1/2

  edwagreen2011-03-14

  Interesting but surreal film where there is a fine line shown between sanity and insanity. We recently saw a life torn apart by frustration in Natalie Portman's Oscar winning performance in "The Black Swan." Heather Locklear is very much conflicted in a similar fashion as well. That conflict would ultimately push her over the edge. The problem with this film is that you reach a point where you can't distinguish from what is real to that which is not real. Even our therapist has the right questions and correct conclusions as she goes on with her examinations, that's why it's surprising that she did not take the necessary precautions. These type of films often wind up confusing. This film is no exception to that rule.

• Better than the average Lifetime movie, but...

  I saw a few minutes of this within the first half hour and later recorded it so I could see the whole thing from the start. I have to say even w/o seeing the few minutes I figured out the plot within the first 20 minutes. Spoilers follow. We see Laura and we see Dr. Nick, but never quite together. The housekeeper calls her "Missus". When they are in the same place or adjacent, it's like he doesn't recognize or know her. The film actually brought to mind the Sixth Sense and Shutter Island, but there were no red outfits to give it away. We see further evidence as the movie progresses- the old "boyfriend" that wasn't really a boyfriend. A tried and true Lifetime element was the lack of a lifetime for three of the characters. The chats with the "real" boyfriend. Like another reviewer here, I also enjoyed seeing "Mac" from The Unit. I was disappointed his character was such a wuss and didn't realize the danger he was in that lead to his demise. Ditto the shrink on that last point. A common thing I think when seeing characters interact in Lifetime movies is "He (or she) ain't gonna make it." Even though like most of these it was filmed in Canada, the Seattle location shots were convincing. I have to say Heather Locklear is a great example of why women over 50 should not be afraid to wear their hair long. The ending was a letdown, and I had to knock off a star due to being left hanging- and I'm not the only one that was left hanging in this movie.

  What a GREAT movie!!! With a little more length, it very easily could have been on the BIG SCREEN and not strictly limited to T.V.! The casting is amazing, the storyline, though a little hard to follow at FIRST, takes a surprising turn and the awesome, unexpected twist at the end ties it all together seamlessly. Two viewings may be recommended, but not necessary in the event that any confusion still exists after a single viewing. Don't let the low IMDb rating fool you; could be a result of SOME viewers who just didn't "get" it. Perfect little romantic thriller with some very effective twists and turns! Locklear, as usual, KILLED it!
