COMMENT

Being so cheesy and taking inspired by many other slasher movies, Lovers Lane still managed as fine entertainer, at least to fill your bore times with a lot of laugh. If truth to be told, Lovers Lane is the most underrated after many direct-to-video-posh-Scream slasher movie, but it still shine because of the cliché it has.

A slightly direct-to-video slasher. This underrated flick is somewhat has many similarity with Cherry Falls, which is objecting teen with their obsession of love and (off course) sex. As a movie, despite Cherry Falls are better, they are in the same league, where's there is no explicit gores (most of the kills are off-screen), no intense fright, non atmospherically, the pace is slow, alas fails miserably as a great slasher package, but at least still fun to watch.

One thing to bother is the taking more popular slasher as it blatant copy is so annoying, when it seem lack of originality. The director is so uninspiring, when the script actually is witty enough. He should learn more how to make a slasher as he must learn about the genre more than he should know. This is insulting.

Most of the actors are portraying they character respectfully, especially for B-Movie standard. Lovers Lane also featuring the pre-Scary Movie, Anna Faris with his blonde hair. Her appearance unquestionably fun.

Well, as little twist, Lovers Lane is still worth watching, but just don't expect it as a winner, because little is a literally concept for this movie. As my final bashed, Lovers Lane may fail as a slasher, but succeed as laughable movie.
