Here we go: a Lifetime movie that left me feeling unsatisfied, and quite honestly, mad. It's become a pattern. I really wasn't expecting to be disappointed, because the storyline of this film did sound intriguing: Chicago realtor Lauren (Emily Rose) is unfortunately trying to make sales in a housing market that couldn't be any more dismal. In fact, the lack of buyers results in so much boredom at work, that her colleague spends most of her time reading romance novels. One day a man named Sean Crawford (Lucas Bryant) enters the office, and offers to buy a mansion that's located on the Gold Coast. As the film progresses, she discovers that the sellers were murdered, and the owners are scam artists, which leads her to being used to mask the crime. I love stories that have drastic turn of events, but this turned out to be nothing like what I thought it would. I've noticed the characters in these movies get themselves into dangerous situations because of their own stupidity. All of that could've been avoided if she didn't do business with him after he inquired if she wanted to have sex with him. Okay, that wasn't his first question - he asked if she would like to go out for dinner. She tells him she has a boyfriend, and they live together. But he doesn't stop with the romantic advances. He actually has the nerve to say 'so you would consider sleeping with me to get the listing?' To which she replies 'I mean I might, would it work?' She does decline his offer, but then he leaves flowers on her desk the next day, and she has a positive reaction. That's when I turned the movie off. How rude of him to request something like that, and then she wasn't the slightest bit offended. I would've been like I know you did not just ask me that. Plus the guy looked all sinister, and she was getting excited over him surprising her with flowers? That is such bs! I could tell this movie was written by a man. It makes women look desperate and stupid. If you're a woman, and you're propositioned for sex in exchange for something by a person on your job - coworker, client, or customer - please report them! That's sexual harassment and it shouldn't be tolerated. Shame on the filmmakers for trying to make it seem like that's acceptable. I'm done with Lifetime movies. The majority of them are garbage.
