People Article on Twisted Desire

The following article on Twisted Desire appeared in People Picks and Pans section, 13th May 1996

Twisted Desire NBC (Mon., May 13, 9 p.m. ET)

Furious at Dad's strict curfew policy, Melissa Joan Hart tricks a juvenille delinquent (Jeremy Jordan) into gunning down both Mom (Homicide's Isabella Hoffman) and Dad (Homicide's Daniel Baldwin). Then the psychopathic Valley Girl dumps the killer for a hunk named - you guessed- Brad. Deep-sixing the perky image from her Clarissa Explains It All days, Hart sort of looks, and sort of acts, like Alicia Silverstone in this TV movie, best thought of as a patricidal Clueless. Alas, Hart does not yet have her dramatic chops down and is overshadowed by the rest of the cast, particularly Jordan, who is convincing as her dimwitted coconspirator.
Grade: C-
