It's got it ALL, baby. Let's start with Rob Lowe. Jerry McGuire he ain't. You're never going to see Rob with tears streaming down his cheeks, telling a woman that she "completes" him. Rather, you're more likely to find him yanking his clothes out of the closet, pulling out any photos that include him, stuffing it all in a duffel bag and hurling it into a garbage truck as he leaves the former object of his desire alone and naked in bed...just like the opening minutes of "Bad Influence." And yes, I know Rob has taken some "serious" roles and has played the "good guy" on occasion, but my challenge to you is "NAME one of those roles." I remembered them at the time, and I've forgotten them, pretty much like every other Rob Lowe fan on the planet. We want Evil Rob, and this movie is Pure Evil Rob. I won't offer any spoilers here, but let's just say that if you can't see the major plot twist coming from a mile away, you haven't seen too many movies. James Spader seems like an odd choice to play Lowe's "good" doppelganger, the guy who becomes corrupted as Rob introduces him to his own wants and desires. Spader's starred in more than his fair share of "this guy makes me feel kind of squirmy" roles. Of course, the only way the corruption of the character's "innocence" can appear real is that if it's built on shaky foundations to begin with, and Spader nails it. His character is a "career guy," a "ladder climber," engaged to Marcia Cross, who equally nails the boring, white bread, "why am I marrying this woman" object of Spader's luke-warm desire. See, Spader really doesn't want the pot of gold at the end of his rainbow. He wants to ride around in sporty little car with Evil Rob Lowe and do evil things. And he does. Why do you think the movie is named "Bad Influence" instead of "Two Nice Guys Helping Others?" The soundtrack is lip-smackin' 80s dee-licious, too. Lots of synthy angst...a highlight being The Nymphs performing "The Highway" during Lowe and Spader's first venture into one of the sleazy "password at the door" clubs. According to the notes on the YouTube clip of this scene, "Inger Lorre wrote this song about Richard Ramirez, the "Night Stalker," and the groupies he attracted during his trial." Makes it a perfect choice for this movie. I could go on...in detail...but I'm keeping my "no spoilers" promise. You probably have a general idea of what this one is all about, and I've tried to convey the flavor without ruining the experience. I love it, I've watched it at least 100 times since its release...it's a "midnight movie," it's sublime junk, it's a career high for Lowe. He plays his character with such oily, unrepentant glee that you envy anyone having that much fun and getting paid for it. BUY THIS ONE NOW!
