It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Wow, this is wicked awesome. I was sitting around this Saturday afternoon, looking for something to watch and Lo and Behold "Long Island Lolita Story" appears on the TV. On the Lifetime network - of course! This is the same channel I've seen such classics as "No One Would Tell" starring Kevin Arnold and DJ Tanner and "Unwed Father" starring David Silver from the original 90210.Anyway, its clear Joey Buttafuoco was totally 100% innocent. I mean sure...he actually pled guilty to statutory rape, and in the ensuing years he's been arrested for fraud and solicitation of hookers, so you see, he's just a real nice guy that just was hit on by a slutty long island Lolita, he never slept with her or did anything wrong! Watch this movie any chance you get!

This film is not very good. That is the best thing I can say about this shocking piece of work. Very bad acting. Hilarious at times. Did anyone pay money to see this? It is wrong on so many levels. So many! It reminded me of a soft porn in parts. I watched this with my cat and he even thought it so crap he got up and left the room. I think that maybe this film had potential if the script was ripped up and urinated on it. Amy Fisher is dangerous. That is a fact. "Serial killers don't get 2million bail", so true. A 17 year old kid. That is the story. I checked out the credits for the directors name and surprised to find out that he made good few film after this one. 10/10 for my patience to see this film all the way through. It was a test in the finest art of torture. Classic hair cut on that bloke.He's 37? Good one. Look more like 52. The wife is probably the worst actor ever. But it hard to say who is the worst ever, because so many of the worst actors ever to be on my TV screen were all piled into one when they made this. The best part was when the wife sets off the metal detector with the bullet in her head.

The story about an event that shook up a quiet Long Island community back in 1992 and became front page and headline news in all the tabloid newspapers and TV shows not just in the USA but all over the world as well. The movie "Casualties of Love" tries to portray Joey "Butterfingers" Buttafuoco in a good light, in this sordid and sleazily episode of suburban life on the Island, but fails miserably in light of what has transpired since the movie's release back in 1993. Early in the film we see Joey, Jack Scalia, recovering from a serious coke-drug addiction habit and getting back to a normal life working for his father old man Buttafuoco, Lawrence Tierney, as a auto-mechanic in his car body repair shop and meets one fateful afternoon a very attractive but emotional disturbed and unstable young Amy Fisher, Alyssa Milano, and the rest is history.Amy getting her sights on the good-natured and overly friendly Joey and becoming infatuated with him gets her car smashed up a number of times just to have an excuse to be around and close to Joey and even going so far as trying to get poor and innocent Joey alone in his office and induce him to have sex with her can't seem to budge, the rock hard and straight as an arrow happily married family man, in having Joey commit an act of adultery. With Joey chivalrously turning down all of her sexual advances a frustrated and mad as hell Amy then plans to have the one person standing in the way between her and Joey his wife Mary Jo, Phyllis Lyon, put out of the picture permanently.After unsuccessfully trying to get some of her friends in school to assassinate Mary Jo by giving them money and "free sex" Amy goes to the Buttafuoco's residence and tries to do the job herself by shooting Mary Jo in the head and leaving her paralyzed for life.The movie tries very hard to make Joey look innocent by reason of being too naive and, well let's just say, stupid in not realizing what Amy's intentions really were and how far she would go to take him away from Mary Jo and his two children thus in some way trying to make Joey look not responsible for what happened to Mary Jo.The movie also goes to great lengths to show the audience that Joey didn't have an affair with the underage Amy but it's not very convincing since the release of the movie Joey pleaded guilty to having sex with the 17 year-old Amy Fisher which in New York state is considered statutory rape that landed him in jail for six months and since then Joey was arrested a number of times for soliciting prostitutes for sex which makes the Joey Buttafuoco in the movie look both phony and ridicules. Amy since her release from prison became a writer for a local Long Island newspaper, The New Island Ear, and seems to have put her life back together but Joey, besides his arrests for soliciting prostitutes, was just indited in California for insurance fraud. The Buttafuoco/Fisher affair destroyed both of the Buttafuoco and Fisher families with Joey's father losing his business that he built up and worked at for almost fifty years and almost cost Joey's wife, Mary Jo, her life and ultimately ended their marriage. It also destroyed Amy's parents marriage as well has having her put behind bars for almost ten years and being brutalized, and reportedly raped by a male prison guard, while she was in prison. This story, the Buttafuoco/Fisher affair, turned out to be a true modern day American Tragedy.

A depressing tale of a middle-aged man and teen-aged girl who have an affair, presumably, after which the girl shoots the guy's wife in the head, so that the girl and the guy can get married, or at least live together, happily ever after. It's based on the real events surrounding Aimee Fisher and Joey Buttafuco. She's played my Alyssa Milano, in probably her most demanding role, and the car mechanic is Jack Scalia. What a tawdry tale. A narcissistic pedophile and a spoiled pretty nymphomaniac. Lots of sex, intrigue, conflict, some violence, all rather disgusting, which is probably why three independent TV made-for movies about the case hit the TV screens at the same time. This one is definitely from Butaffuco's point of view. The poor guy loves his wife and children (sob) and never touches this succulent nymphet. Fisher is plumply overdeveloped, more than simply enticing, bursting her seams, and she's the aggressor and the liar in the tale. Buttafuco is the innocent victim. Right. No ex coke addicted, pumped up, self-admiring Italian philanderer would dream of laying a paw on this fawning young creature. Man, is he put upon. Our eyes water at the narrative. Aimee lies to her family and tells them that Joey gave her herpes. Then tries to murder his wife. And all this time he's nothing more than a cheerful, loving, family man and upright citizen, aghast at all the terrible things he's accused of. Did he fund this movie? The other two made-fors took quite different points of view, depending on who was backing the production and which particular participant in this disgusting tale was doing the endoresements. Utterly revolting garbage, which the public ate up. Alyssa Milano is a beautiful young woman. Anyone who wants to see her en deshabille should rent "Kiss of the Vampire" or whatever it was, far sexier, and less repugnant simply because it is more mindless. This movie actually has a point of view. It could have skipped the sleazy plot and just shown us Joey pumping iron in a gym and Aimee coupling in some stranger's back seat. An insult to the public viewer, who gobbled it down with relish.
