Tempting Fate

The storyline was terrible and the acting (or lack thereof by Alyssa Milano) made it worse.

While Alyssa Milano is as watchable as ever -- she gives a committed performance -- and there are some other good performances here, the story is too unbelievable.

It's as if every character is ultimately able to override their human emotions (e.g. hurt following betrayal) and behave ultra-rationally; people just don't behave that way in real life.

Really, this is an unrealistic fairy tale in which the logical course of action prevails. It doesn't reflect real life.

... yea, 5's about right... typical Lifetime programming from beginning to blatantly-predictable-ending... a film made to order for filling time slots... acting & production values are decent... plot & script foreseen to boredom.

Easy watching

Above the par of the normal afternoon movie

Isn't he a lucky guy she is gorgeous !!

Afternoon watching that won't give you a headache.
