Let me know!!!

Actually, I'm doing some research now because I'm going through my older VHS recordings that I made to see if I can replace them on DVD. I THINK the version I have is not this one and I don't THINK it's the one with Alyssa Milano; I believe it's the OTHER one with the girl who really looks like Amy Fisher.

From what I remember at the time, the one I have I think is the one based upon the trial transcripts as opposed to the 'Headlines' as this one appears to be. But, hey, we're talkin' DREW BARRYMORE here!!!

Okay, I think the one I have is called 'LETHAL LOLITA' with Ed Marinaro as Joey. This is the one which is based upon AMY'S PERSPECTIVE! Clearly, This is a much more sympathetic version (right or wrong)

The one with Alyssa Milano depicts JB as some poor innocent guy who never had a sexual relationship with AF and depicts AF as some little obsessed psycho stalker who was imagining their whole relationship and then flipped out and shot MJB. The performances in it are really good but I feel the story is skewed and unrealistic. It isn't empathetic or insightful about Amy Fisher (or even about the rest of the people involved except for Mary Jo). This movie seems more believable and realistic than the AM one.
