An Unexpected Love

This movie was not AWFUL as the previous remark said. This happens in real life with certain people. The story was OK. Maybe the acting wasn't award winning but have you seen all the tv shows and certain movies that have worse acting? #1 in bad acting are soap opera's. I thought the movie brought out a message at least to me it did and I gained an understanding of what happens in a family in the situation. I am sorry but I love lifetime movies and I can watch them all day and night long.

The subject matter in this movie is handled with great sensitivity and taste. A marriage breaks up and the wife becomes involved with her boss, who is a woman. Lifetime keeps making excellent movies that are timely, touching and entertaining. Wendy Crewson is absolutely fabulous in this movie!

Why do all movies on Lifetime have such anemic titles? "An Unexpected Love" - ooh, how provocative!! "This Much I know" would have been better. The film is nothing special. Real people don't really talk like these characters do and the situations are really hackneyed. The straight woman who "turns" lesbian seemed more butch than the lesbian character. If you wanna watch two hot women kiss in a very discreet fashion, you might enjoy this. Although it seems like it was written by someone who doesn't really get out in the world to observe people. Why am I wasting my time writing about it?

If you have not seen this film you're missing out! The story was thought-provoking, tender and incredibly moving. The acting-all the way around-was absolutely superb (big thumbs up to Wendy Crewson...her portrayal of Mac is great). I'd best sum it up by saying that if you're an open-minded individual who enjoys a touching film-watch it...and if you're a not-so-open-minded individual-really watch it and really learn from it. It's great!

I laughed all the way through this rotten movie. It's so unbelievable. A woman leaves her husband after many years of marriage, has a breakdown in front of a real estate office. What happens? The office manager comes outside and offers her a job!!! Hilarious! Next thing you know the two women are going at it. Yep, they're lesbians! Nothing rings true in this "Lifetime for Women with nothing better to do" movie. Clunky dialogue like "I don't want to spend the rest of my life feeling like I had a chance to be happy and didn't take it" doesn't help. There's a wealthy, distant mother who disapproves of her daughter's new relationship. A sassy black maid - unbelievable that in the year 2003, a film gets made in which there's a sassy black maid. Hattie McDaniel must be turning in her grave. The woman has a husband who freaks out and wants custody of the snotty teenage kids. Sheesh! No cliche is left unturned.
