Secretary Audience Reviews

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
dhavaljiya Other then that the movie is quite boring and forgettable.
ncallinicos This film at times was slow. Yet in those slow moments I found myself lost in thought. The acting was suburb in the sense that you can feel the awkward sexuality through the film. I'm to guess that most of us have not been in a situation such as depicted in the film. For those that have I can not answer their opinions on this film, but I at times was uncomfortable, yet intrigued. It's an unconventional story of love, and who's to judge? All kinds of different things make different people happy. Mentally disturbed and maybe a bit too dedicated of a women, but who cares as long as she's happy in the end. We should all be so lucky to have some one so dedicated to us. Hopefully we are nicer to them, but whatever works I suppose. I'm going to say this is a definite watch, but not for those who don't feel like thinking at the moment or those who are not open to a bit unorthodox sexual situations.
GeoPierpont Big fan of Sex, Lies and Videotape and was hoping to see James Spader in a juicy role with Maggie G. Complete molasses bore fest. I could not get past 30 minutes and even that required a pandemic of patience. I was not anticipating grand action scenes, witty acerbic dialog, or inspiration. How about a working script or was this an exercise to see how slow one can answer a ringing phone or slice your thigh. I guess I'm with the Paralegal... annoyed with the whole scene. Wedding party, laundromat, office space, you have some potential with these as backdrop. However I was impressed with the donuts dunk in the round file!!!Good luck with this one, do not recommend whatsoever!

Faced with a marriage proposal from the boyfriend, she has to make a choice.She chooses the relationship where she is the strong manipulative partner.As a backdrop, Lee's own family is in some turmoil. Does this have a critical influence on her choice? This is a credible low budget production. Has an interesting plot and makes some startling insights a decade before Fifty Shades of Grey.
