If Looks Could Kill Audience Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
michaelbauers I am rating this to up the rating. And reviewing it, just to add my piece of mind.First off, the french teacher. Hilarious. Best part of the whole movie. "I want all references to the operative, the french teacher." Next, the dialog. It's funny. Most of the time, it's great. At least I find it funny most of the time.The lead actor did a pretty good job. He's as flat as a pancake. But I think he's supposed to be a superficial high school student. They could have made him a bit more bright. He does save the day in the end. And it would be slightly more believable if he came across as a bit brighter from the start. But, you know, it's a comedy. You can't be too critical.I realize this is sort of a demographic movie. I am sure it's aimed at teens as a fantasy. At 45 though, I still appreciate a mindless fantasy/comedy/adventure. And this is a pretty good one. I think it deserves a better rating - I rate movies with based on similar movies. I don't compare this to Das Boot, for example. I compare it to say, Hackers or something like that.
Tom Smith Made in 1991, "If Looks Could Kill" was a fun flick and a pleasant surprise. I'm not sure why it has such a low rating on IMDb. There was some high school level humor, but in general it's good, clever humor.Basically "If Looks Could Kill" is a cute comedy/action spoof using some of the James Bond themes (M giving James Bond a tour of the secret weapons development lab) and a few other spy movies, but basically on James Bond movies.Little did I know that a refreshingly young Gabrielle Anwar would be in it. I have a fondness for her, she's a great actress! Linda Hunt was terrific as always. Richard Grieco did a great job as the unsuspecting "kid" spy who is reluctantly mistaken to be a real spy.The humor and action rolls smoothly and people renting this will enjoy this flick.
wiretap_kid This is, simply put, one of the worst movies I've ever seen, and I've seen quite a few bad movies. It's not just that smarmy idiot Richard Grieco, or the massive plot holes, or the incomprehensible, unbelievable plot, it's the whole combination of massive failures that make this movie so terrible. Now, I realize that this is a teen "action-comedy" of sorts, and it's plot is meant to be a piece of escapist fiction, and I went into this without any kind of bias. I expected fantastic settings, over-the-top villians, and unbelievable gadgets. It failed me at every turn, but the biggest problem was simply how stupid it was. Nothing was believable, nothing. For example, what high school would let you come to the graduation ceremony, call your name, and hand you a diploma, only to have said diploma tell you that you failed to graduate? I don't know any school, even a public school, that would be so sadistic. To put it in a few words, this movie sucks.
George Parker "If Looks Could Kill" tells of a high school French class's trip to France and one student (Grieco) who gets caught up in an international spy drama through mistaken identity. A fun little action comedy with not a single dull moment, this flick lampoons 007 films as its tale of comic intrigue unfolds. A silly no-brainer on cable with a little something for everyone.
