Caught in the Act

Who knows who sings or what the name of the song is for the song midway through the movie that goes something like "I've been lonely to long"? I cant seem to find the song or information on it anywhere. Now when it comes to the movie itself its your normal lifetime style movie that can draw you attention for the two hours its on. You can predict whats going to happen most of the way through but its definitely worth a quick watch if you got spare time on your hands. The lead actress gives a quality role as she has in several of her other movies and keeps you entertained with some of the phrases she comes up with during the length of the movie

I know, that's just provocative. But that's essentially what the film is. Instead of polluting big-time corporations, you have good-time boys cheating on their wives, bucking and circumventing the system of marriage and decency.

Nevertheless, the film provides some diverting enough entertainment in an odd I know it's made for TV but I can't quite look away because it might get entertainingly worse before it gets better kind of way.

The good Lord doth love a trier and a compound sentence. I liked the manner in which Lauren Holly chose to play the main character, half serious, half giggly investigative novice. And the fact that the film was made in Belgium was another interesting factor for me.

I enjoyed it.

Especially for a made-for-TV movie, this one is just fun to watch. Lauren Holly in particular makes this so enjoyable. You just have to love her character! And I do agree with those that note that her accent is really good -- as close to authentic as I've heard in most movies. In fact, southern accents are my pet peeve -- they are routinely done so astonishingly badly. It grates on me so badly that there are movies I know would probably have been OK except that the bad accents were too distracting and irritating. But Holly does great, and as a result of the thick accent, she nails this character spot on! No, it's not some amazing film due for classic libraries. But it IS much better than the vast majority of made-for-TV movies. The dialogue is believable, and even the over-the-top outfits make sense in context(the first time I saw it I walked in part-way through and saw one of the "undercover" outfits and burst into giggles thinking to myself, yeah, undercover in being just bizarre enough to work in New Orleans!). Definitely worth a couple of hours.

I disagree completely with the other commenter, Holly's accent is just as good as those considered such great acting by Meryl Streep (which I do not, by the way.) I did not find it annoying NOR distracting (and yet I DO find Streep's awful accents BOTH) -- I've seen this movie twice and enjoyed it both times. It's a good story, the acting is well done and MAN that music by Marty Stuart and Wynonna is superb... that music should be on a CD for purchase. I recommend this movie for AFTER you've done some Saturday chores and just want to relax on the couch. I mean, what fun!! A woman who is "wronged" ha-ha finds her way into not only solving a murder but into new employment. It's rather encouraging, if you think about it. I'm not saying this is a classic film or anything but I am saying that if there's going to be a new kinda classic, such as LIFETIME classic, then this one qualifies!

I am watching this movie right now... but i'm confused... only because (oh, i am a lifetime fanatic, but a realist too..especially at that time of the month which is right now ;0) -- -- -- does this particular movie remind anyone of the other movie where the 'girl' **gets** her husband???? i can't remember but it was Canadian. i loved it because the husband was a cop and didn't think his wife was worth anything but she DEFINITELY proved him wrong. ANYONE? sorry, but i love lifetime and these movies.........we women CAN overcome!! OK ten lines of text --- ready? set? GO? ally ally in free? OK -- run out so here i go. gosh i am ordered to give ten lines of text but not gibberish. so,........ anyone see this movie? anyone think it's copying the canandian one? let me hear you!!! we are women hear us roar!
