Erotic, sexy and seductive, the hot project of softcore "Lie With Me" is not a complete triumph because there's a flawed plot that fails to convince the more experienced viewer. As a drama, there's some in's and out's but it's mostly out; as a softcore, it's ten times better than many of its genre because a) the cast is deeply involved with their nudity/sex scenes, and they're good looking to boot; b) the sequences are hot, nicely shot and those are the moments worthy of view. Eric Balfour is insanely hot, does a lot of full-frontal scenes (huge debate on the boards about...nevermind) and the words I need to describe him with accuracy cannot be used here. However, a movie that seems filled with a purpose shouldn't depend exclusively on the sex, no matter how intense and awesome those scenes are. That's why the thumbs down to this.Moving a little closer: Leila (Lauren Lee Smith) is a beautiful young woman with a relentless sex-drive going from one man to another in order to satisfy her sexual needs. It's all about being casual. One day, she meets the handsome David (Balfour) and things get very interesting. They both know what the other is all about, so they go forward with just one night stand that evolves to a few more days until it changes the whole game when...David falls for the girl. Back and forth between their involvement, we follow the lives those characters are leading, with David taking care of his sick father; and Leila's parents getting through a divorce - I think the film could go without those subplots, they're infinite sad. Gently touching you: the movie is told by Leila's perspective with her thoughts about losing herself through sex and all the effect it has on her. And that's why the movie focus on her doubt to make a decision: sticking by David and finally finding something new or going back to the arms of strangers. With a better script, this part would be fantastic. Now, I must push you away: The problem lies in the fact that it doesn't build anything deep that can actually provide that Leila and David are in fact, in love. They only had the basics with each other, what they knew the other could provide (sex) and somehow he's the one who cares so much about her without knowing her (but he tries!); and she's the one so scared about closeness, running away from him and later on going back to her hedonistic search for pleasure and not getting it anymore(the 'meltodwn masturbation' scene is real low and sad). To the writers (and most audiences, I'm afraid) this is a proof of love, building a relationship: a different touch, body to body and there you have it, love grows. I've seen this happen in life but it doesn't mean I truly trust it. Has to be more. Gotta be a little more cerebral, you have to know the inside behind the facade, the feelings, the vicissitudes of a person. Sex and intimacy is a big and wonderful step but it's just a step to several others; and sometimes you can even remove it from the equation and still have a meaningful love and understanding of the loved one.It's nice on the eyes but it's so simplistic, slightly mushy and in desperate need of a good dialogue scene. Where are the bloody words? Though I don't fancy much analogies and stuff, but I have to use one here. "Lie With Me" is like that dreamy hot person you fool around for a night, you two have a great time doing fun stuff in bed and whatever the place but when it comes to talking and sharing other experiences that doesn't revolve around intercourse, it's a big fat meh. Not a complete waste of time but you may feel a little disappointed afterwards. 5/10

I only watched this movie because I'm a fan of Polly Shannon ever since I saw her in Tom Selleck's Jesse Stone TV movies. Unfortunately, she was barely in it. The movie is about an over-sexed girl who can't seem to get enough of it. She seems to go from one guy to the next. She seems to fall in love with Eric Balfour's character, or at least the sex; I'm not really sure which.Basically, if you took out the sex and nudity, there wouldn't be much - if any - story left. The girl was attractive, but the movie was a soft-core porn film. Since the director seemed to hint that sex might actually have happened during the filming, it might be more of the hard-core variety. I know some say the movie was art. I thought it was lousy. This movie made Showgirls seem like Academy Award material. At least there was more story in Showgirls, and yes, I know that sounds impossible to believe.I gave this movie a 1-star rating because...well, it was awful. There was nothing worthwhile about it. If you want to watch a sex film, download a porn film that's proud of what it is. Don't watch a hard-core porn movie that's afraid to say that that's what it is. If they were really having sex, even though penetration wasn't actually shown, then it's a porn flick. Awful movie, awful editing, awful story.

i have seen a lot of soft core films got a great collection at home but this fall flat it is spectacularly boring i say.starting Lauren lee smith in lie with me 2005 plot:Leila have sex with random men she meets David & things goes as usual things don't work out between them.i saw this film few days back as a regular user of IMDb & a reviewer i always lookout of new and old films.but when i saw the reviews & IMDb page of this film i raised my expectations & thats where i fell for it its a old film made in 2005 I've seen 80s soft core films they are gold compared to this this is pure rubbish & its promoted as a erotic film but there is no erotic scenes in this film except one on the bed & sofa,it was shot very badly all in dark with limited usage of light.the director tried to present it as a art film but failed.it was released in a hurry i guess.a good example of bad filmmaking.the dialogs & cast don't matter because everything just got ruined by the director,for those who are looking for hot scenes just by looking at the poster they will be disappointed.my rating is 1/10 die with me or just waste time with me should be the name of this film..Skipp it at all cost not wort watching

There are lot of explicit sex scenes in this movie, but it's not erotic if you can figure that out. The reason I think is because all the actors looks like tired ducks.I've seen Italian movies like this where there's sexual action, but just looks like muscles and sinews of the body are moving. When the actors look life worn, sex is not a pleasure but a stressful event. Sex in this movie was extremely stressful to watch. The actors weren't attractive either, so it was difficult to get emotionally involved.What was this movie trying to do with itself ? Is it trying to give visual entertainment ? Then it kind of failed. Is it trying to tell a story ? Well what's the story ?It's kind of an ugly movie in the way things are presented, and is not recommended for viewing.
