"[The] film stealthily pulls out the rug until you suddenly find yourself standing on a cold stone floor, barefoot and shivering." 06/23/2006 p.E21Reel.com 6 of 10
Loverboy is a creepy misfire. Victoria Redel's novel about a delusional mother's "natal attraction" to her young son apparently stirred Kevin Bacon enough to put him back in the director's chair (after 1996's Losing Chase), but it's a mystery as to why. The film certainly gives his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, a big lead role, but her Emily Stoll is so off-putting and one-dimensional it's unlikely any actress could've brought any real humanity to the part. Unfortunately, the usually terrific Sedgwick is misdirected here and turns in a campy performance that's all over the map. Half the time, she seems to be channeling Baby Jane when she's not edging into Mommie Dearest territory. Despite a game effort, she's unbearable to watch. - Gary Goldstein
