Le mari d'une autre

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.

Leaden tale of two women in love with the same man, who frankly doesn't deserve even a passing interest from either of them. Supposedly a "sisterhood conquers all" story the characters were 1 dimensional and the dialogue was at times laughable - but not funny. I'm glad you haven't got the running time on the site as then I would know exactly how many minutes of my life I wasted watching this movie.

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.)

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.

I hate for you to watch a good movie you have to put it on your wish list or buy or rent the movie why have on here if you have to pay to watch it.its a great movie to watch.minus the long commercials.its sad that you can't even watch the movie I just hope they figure out a better way to watch these good movies.
