Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I loved the 80s. I was young, good-looking (if I say so myself), and life was fun (and don't let anyone tell you any different). That was usually reflected in films and TV series. That is why I hate anything contemporary. Forget trying to find escapism in the entertainment industry. Everything today is vulgar, loud, and crude at best; ugly, dark, broody, violent at worst. And don't even start me on European productions! Anybody seen Brit TV series, lately? They are the pit. All the men are evil, perverts, fat and ugly. The women are no better. Equally disagreeable, fat and ugly, they also pasty faces and muddy skins. Of course, not a trace of make-up among the lot of them (feminism insists). And everybody lives in depressing squalor and is tiresomely profane in some sort of English patois I can barely follow. I believe that is what certain people like to call "realism." For goodness sake, who the devil wants realism in entertainment. As Oscar Wilde put it, the less known about life's sores, the better.Anyway, tired and fed up with all the kitchen-sink drama fetish, I decided to explore the internet in search of some much-needed escapism. Thank goodness for YouTube.Yes, these soap operas have plots with more holes in them than Swiss cheese. Situations are barely believable. Everything is tinsel and fantastic (dear, oh, dear; no realism). But, oh, how refreshing to see luxury, glamour, beauty, for a change! Yes, people are still rotters. But I much prefer to see rotters in opulent surroundings than in dismal squalor. Men and women are gorgeous. Women are made- up (ok, maybe a bit too much). And, oh, look! They are all thin! If there are profanities, they are so few that I missed them.Lace is no different. I won't go into the plot and the faults. Everybody else covered that already. Still, if you are looking for a bit of relief from kitchen-sink drama go to YouTube, pour yourself some wine, put your feet up and enjoy a bit of true R&R.I know I'm going to get a lot of grief for my political incorrectness from the usual suspects. (Bleep) them. They can stick to their foul "realism" (no wonder they are so bitter). I get enough of that from real life.

I found it to be a bit soapy. Lather up the baby and wait for the water. Wait, Wait, Wait, three hours into it and Cates has no idea who gave her life. You don't either. Nope, wait, and wait , and wait, it drags you along on this life of excess where no one washes the baby, takes care of the child or shows their hand. Wait, and wait and wait some more. The only saving grace is the women are pretty enough to look at for awhile. You will need a bag of nachos, four bags of popcorn, three cans of coke, two dogs on your lap and plenty of cut up sausage and cheese. It will suck you in. Remember the time your mom told you not touch a fire, this is it, you begin watching this and it will suck you in.

Well, people may not have LIKED Lace but everyone seems to have SEEN it so I figure the actors/actresses, producers, directors and writers etc were laughing all the way to the bank.No Lace isn't a masterpiece. Well in a way it is but not the way other movies are. If you could call it a movie-more like an epic.
Lace is decadent 80's glitz-But sometimes decadent 80's glitz can be fun. Cates fit the role, was there another actress in that era more exotically beautiful then Cates? She fit Lilli to a tee.That said-BE WARNED-WATCH LACE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! Be prepared to forego any plans you might have for the day, make something to eat AHEAD of time, and if any of your miffed friends and family members get upset pray you can sit em down for 5 minutes so it has the same effect on them which is to basically render them immobile for the length of time the mini-series runs.Of coarse this is all because of that one burning question:it's the question we need to know, the question that haunts us, nags at us, makes us do incredibly odd things like not go to sleep even though our head is spinning, or miss dinner even though we suffer from low blood sugar....That all-important encompassing question is this:Who is the mother of this girl? Not that the answer really matters since the mothers are pretty much interchangable. But this does not matter. the question cries out for an answer and you just can't-you won't-leave the television until the answer is known.SPOILER:The answer comes pretty quickly(NOT!!) Aproximately 4 MAYBE 5 minutea(if that) before the series ends-then you will feel really mad at yourself for watching in the first place.So if this sounds like your cup of tea-watch Lace nest time its on-I actually enjoyed it in a sick addicted kind of way.In all seriuosness-this movie would have been really great had it only been about half a day shorter.

Four hours? I think it was more like 6 hours! I started watching it this afternoon. It was on the Oxygen Network after the movie "The Sure Thing". I'm still not sure why I started watching it. I just did. Like an IDIOT!
Its just...what's the word....classic 80s. VERY melodramatic and very trashy. But it just sucks you in. You have to find out who this persons mother is. Its not a matter of entertainment, its a matter of the need to know.I realize I could just have easily gotten online and checked on any number of websites at any point during this torture, but no...I kept thinking it had to be ending soon. But it went on and on and on. Like the Energizer Bunny, only more annoying.But I do have to say, this movie was horrible in a truly fabulous way. It was decadant trash at its best. This movie has a place in cult classic history. But saints preserve me from watching it again before I've blocked the horror from my mind.
