The Dorothy Stratten story is brought down to practically soap-opera level. You know you're in trouble when Robert Reed plays a post-Brady Bunch sleazy producer. The acting, in particular Jamie Lee Curtis, is inept. I know she was going for the naive teenager, but she is slightly too old for the role (23 at the time) playing the 18-year-old Stratten, particularly the early years. She gets a little more believable in the second half playing the 20-year-old Stratten. On the other hand, Bruce Weitz is over-the-top as the manipulative Snider, but at least it is in character.
