Hard Candy, Fullscreen Edition DVD Reviews

Bottom-Line: Hard Candy is at times tough to watch, so be prepared to be shacked and awed. — Three weeks after chatting it up with 32-year-old fashion photographer Jeff Kohlver on Internet 14-year-old Hayley Stark (Ellen Page - Love the Boy, Juno) meets him in the Nighthawks Coffee Shop. — Hayley pours on the 14-year-old charm acting very much the innocent nymph she turned out not to be.  Jeff buys the act and takes her back to his house where upon Hayley prepares screwdriver for them and Jeff passes out. When he wakes up, he is tied to a chair, and sweet Hayley isn't so… read full review »

Hard Candy was a movie that moved me but also disturbed me in more ways than one. I read a review on the movie a long while before I got the chance to see it and it really intrigued me how they could tastefully do a movie like this without coming off as perverted as it sounds. Once you read the plot you'll understand. — Plot: Hayley, a 14 year old girl, met Jeff, a 32 year old photographer, on the Internet. When Hayley suspects Jeff of being a pedophile, she decides to go to his home in an attempt at exposing him for what he really is. — I know the plot sounds a bit wild and… read full review »

After watching previews after preview of the new upcoming movie Juno, I was curious about the girl who played the main character in the movie. Ellen Page. I know I had seen her somewhere before, in a movie that left quite an impact on me. Only, I couldn't quite place the movie, till today when browsing Blockbuster.com for movies, I remembered to actually keyword her name. — To my terrific surprise, up popped the movie that I had been looking for, Hard Candy. — The Plot — — The beginning is basically a parents worst nightmare. — — Hard… read full review »

Hands down this is one tightly wound provocative psychological thriller centered around a  physical game of cat and mouse that is as fascinating to watch as a train wreck. It's two main characters( Ellen Page and Patrick Wilson)who deliver explosive performances show you that never know who you will meet in a chat room. — To go into full detail will spoil this movie so the baldly stated story reads like this: after  a coffee shop rendezvous between sweet innocent 14-year-old Haley(Page)and 32-year-old fashion photographer Jeff (Wilson)… read full review »

I watched this movie just the other night for the first time, and it has already made it's way into one of my favorite films of all times. —  The movie touches on a very sensitive subject, the issue of child molestation and Internet sexual predators. It encompasses the likes of men who are profiled on the MSNBC show "To Catch A Predator". For some, this subject may be a bit hard to swallow. But there is a twist to this movie, a wonderful twist. The hunter (the 35 year old male photographer) becomes the one who is hunted. —  The story is brilliantly written… read full review »

     This movie was a little slow in the begining, but after that was great.  I didn't want to move from my seat. This movie was something i think all parents should watch, even if you don't have a computer in their home. In today's world this could happen! I was on the edge of my seat with this movie.  It is a super powerful movie.  The movie was very hitting !! ELLEN'S performance was at her… read full review »

Hard Candy is the story of a teenage girl and her apparent naivete when it comes to older (only slightly) men.  She plays up her role as a quiet, and shy waif, but this little girl has got big plans!  It is a superb example of acting skills on both the teen predator, and the adult victim's part.  For a large majority of the film, you only see the two of them, and so the focus is firmly on the plot, and it's development, not all of the peripheral characters. You will walk away from this movie with a feeling of shock and awe, but also a feeling of satisfaction,… read full review »

I was wondering if they would ever get out of the house.  Much of the thrilling occurs in the kitchen, while a high school girl, played by Ellen Page, terrorizes a child molesting kidnapper.  She scares the beejeebees right out of the viewer by performing an operation where the sun doesn't shine.  Ouch, that's gonna leave a mark! — A great nail biting, suspensful thriller. —… read full review »

Ellen Page gave an outstanding performance as a 14 year old girl who decides to turn tables on a pedophile. Instead of being preyed on she decides to turn tables and become the predator. It's a must see movie. Although there were tough moments to watch it was definitely worth it. I've never seen a movie like it be for, it really stands out on its own. This movie goes where no other movie has… read full review »

This movie is not what the previews said it would be. This is about taking action against a growing threat. This movie could empower girls. There are scary things in the film. There are also grotesque things in the story. I could not recommend this to anyone with a weak stomach or mindset. —… read full review »
