Another Woman's Husband

there is much to be said about TV. movies, especially this one,, i really enjoyed watching Lisa Rinna, from Days of our Lives,, she is always one of my fav actresses, and paired with Gail O' Grady was a good choice for this movie, i enjoyed this one very much , the only thing i wandered though was it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that johnny and jake were the same person, and why the wife could not figure the whole thing out,, i thought the movie was very well written and acted, Dale Midkiff did a fairly decent job of the bored husband looking for new adventures,, overall i would have to recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a really good chick flick.

Typical soap opera story line, but the situation is intense enough to be very interesting. Susan(Gail O'Grady) is a swim instructor trying to hold her marriage together. Her new best friend is Laurel(Lisa Rinna)a psychologist who needs swimming lessons to help rid her childhood guilt of watching her little brother drown. Laurel falls in love for real for the first time, not knowing the man is her best friend's estranged husband. A funeral places all three at the same place at the same time blowing the sordid secret of the husband(Dale Midkiff).

Midkiff plays the two timing charmer flawlessly. Rinna is just plain alluring. O'Grady goes back and forth from needy and frumpy to new found confidence and striking beauty. Also in the cast are Sally Kirkland and Carroll Baker. A good chick flick that a guy can learn from.

This is a great story about friendship in this case It is Gail O'Grady And Lisa Rinna's friendship. Gail O'Grady's marriage is on the rocks and her husband is always away and Lisa Rinna finds the man of her dreams (which happens to be Gail O'Grady's husband) This is not giving anything away you find this out like 15minutes into the story also in The previews For the movie they tell you that they both are involved with the same man. anyways, Johnnie (Gail O'Grady's husband) asks Lisa to go to the Bahamas with him but she is afraid of water because of a tragic incident that she witnessed and Gail is a swim teacher who Lisa calls for lessons and that is how the two meet. Also Lisa Rinna did not know Johnnie was married especially not to her new best friend. This a powerful story and I loved it. I totally give it 10 stars!!!!!!

I thought this movie was good. I don't normally watch dramas like this one but I thought I would give it a shot! This movie was like any other movie where you have a married couple going through some marital issues. (Spoiler) The guy finds another woman, falls in love in love with her and divorces his soon-to-be ex-wife. However, the two women start to become close friends when they take swimming lessons together. The guy of course lies to the younger looking lady and ends up losing her as well! It kind of surprised me to see Charlotte Rae from the Facts of Life and Different Strokes shows making a cameo! I like the way it ended when the swimming instructor and the student were seen running towards the ocean to get away from it all!

You can love or hate a movie, or character, but it's difficult to proclaim any given story, performance, actor, director, etc., the best or worst, your most or least favored, ever, etc. Superlatives are only correctly used for one of anything - and if you discover one anew, it must surpass all others if it is truly a superlative.

Well, honestly, I have several after watching this picture - and all with regard to the Midkiff character Johnny/Jake.

Hands down, he's the MOST unsympathetic, dull, insipid, uncharismatic character I've EVER viewed.

He evokes the LEAST amount of empathy or trace of caring in any regard for what happens to him, or for the trials he might endure as a result of his duplicity. There is no way a character could be more annoying.

The two female leads are both engaging, sympathetic (for the most part), and certainly a pleasure to view. They were both screwed-up in their own ways, but who in this movie genre isn't? And the conclusion brought proper resolution.

(Whenever I watch a film with a character very annoying, like Midkiff's here, I wish the director would have hired an actor resembling Moe from the Three Stooges - and that "Moe" would proceed to bash him with a mallet, poke him in the eyes, and give him hard slaps, the way he would to Curly and Larry.)
