Shot in sunny Toronto and set to a dreamy score, Lie With Me looks and sounds like an art film, but the end result isn't quite so lofty. The plot is thin and the dialogue superfluous, but no matter--Canada's Clement Virgo (Love Come Down) just wants to turn you on and he has enlisted two attractive, uninhibited young performers to assist in his aims. Leila (Lauren Lee Smith, The L Word) and David (Eric Balfour, Six Feet Under) meet at a party. He's with his girlfriend, but finds himself drawn to her. The feeling is mutual. She's alone, but quickly finds an unattached hipster with whom to have a tryst. David catches her in the act. Instead of turning away, he watches. They start seeing each other immediately afterwards. "I'm not hooked on danger, [I'm] hooked on sex," Leila claims, but she isn't exactly the most trustworthy narrator. She wants a purely physical relationship, while David wants something more. They return to their old lives, but the obsession refuses to die. Based on the novella by Virgo's partner, Tamara Berger, Lie With Me plays like a low-budget cross between Adrian Lyne's overrated 9 1/2 Weeks and Wayne Wang's underrated The Center of the World. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

 without Love, sex is meaning less August 27, 2008

which pretty much desribes this empty film that is too thin to be an art film, and no enough story to be a mainstream movie either.
Good movie..... August 21, 2008

This was a good movie but bad sex! I didn't really expect it to be like this!

I found interesting about this movie is the "balance of interest" between the two people and how it shifts back and forth throughout the movie.
I'd recommend an amazing book in this topic Sex and the Perfect Lover: Tao, Tantra, and the Kama Sutra
 Starts off great but runs out of steam fast. July 15, 2008

The show starts off great. Lauren Lee Smith for the first half hour is bewitching and hard to take your eyes off but then... it's over... by the end of the show she's just another whining jealous ex-lover pining away for her man.
I have to give Eric Balfour a lot of credit for his lack of modesty. The scene where he is dancing naked with Smith needed a George Costanza voice over explaining the affects of shrinkage.
All in all a horrible film and big waste of money.
 Miscast male lead July 4, 2008
My girlfriend and I looked forward to watching this movie. Premise sounded good.
BUT We both agreed that Eric Balfour looked hideous in his sleazy moustache! He is sexy but not in this movie even though we were treated to full frontal nudity of him! Always a treat when you can find an actor willing to bear it all.
So that is my complaint with the casting.Eric should have shaved the moustache. His character did nothing for us and we sure weren't interested in the females body parts.
