Another Woman

These productions are so predictable ... canadian men are woman mental and physical abusers .. this is but one of thousands of similar stories ... makes me ill to watch so it will you as well ... blech

I enjoyed this movie. The performances weren't overblown, they were simple with the awkwardness of a family rediscovering each other. The scenes as Justine Bateman and Peter Outerbridge fall in love again were believable and touching. A nice surprise as romance novels made into movies tend to be mawkish!!

I was actually a bit surprised to find an interesting movie here despite obvious cliche and bad researching (The info on Lisa's medical condition is inaccurate, although in the end it doesn't matter).

I always thought that Justine Bateman had some talent and was pleased to find that she was able to use it here. While the script is not always the greatest she does a fine job with it as do her co-stars. Peter Outerbridge shows what a fine actor he is, and the young girl playing Bonnie also does a wonderful job. Her character is nicely developed as is Joe the hired gun.

If you are looking for something on a rainy afternoon this might be the ticket.

I was cleaning my workroom this afternoon, and the movie I had put on finished, and "Another Woman" came on. Not usually watching TV movies, I thought of changing channels, but I was busy. Imagine my surprise when I realized that, for a Harlequin movie, it was well-scripted and the cast quite good. Justine Bateman and Peter Outerbridge play the main characters without descending into syrupiness and Amy Stewart was very good as the teenager who has been hurt and strikes back without being bratty. The supporting cast manages to support well and avoid being bland. Of course, we all know they will live happily-ever-after. I mean, it is based on a Harlequin novel. Still, the script was well-written and the characters well-developed. What's that, you say? The medical information was not accurate? Not to worry. This is an escapism movie, not a medical school biology class. Grab the pop corn, a comfy pillow, and kick back for a relaxing few hours.

I read where someone praised the actress playing the daughter in this amateur hour production. And I left during the bland reading from the teleprompter kitchen scene with the father daughter and the cook/maid/whatever she was placed there for woman who seemed t5hat she was not on the same hate the wife/mother page.

That entire conversation was flat and straight out of a 4th grade thanksgiving play arena. Better direction and better dialog could have made this better. As it stands as a finished product and these high rating on IMDb don't measure up.

Oh, I almost left out the dude in the hospital parking lot who enters the hospital after the husband leaves and conveniently has a nurses assistant leave a cart of flowers for him to snatch one as a ploy to I guess get into this woman's room in broad daylight??? Like your going to assault a person in a crowded hospital and get away with it??

Nope, can't see the high ratings with this type of nonsense.

A generous *** out of **********
