In difesa di un amore

Judith Light sucked in this movie, totally overacted. I did like her in Who's the Boss.

I was reading one of the other reviews and nearly peed my pants I laughed so hard about the husband in sweats and exercising all the time, was more like her son- LOL! It's true.

I normally love Judith Light in anything- especially a good Early 90s period drama. This one was just off. The acting, mainly him, the chemistry was just not there.

The sets decor clothing hair OMG if you're into 80s 90s this is unbeatable for that.

Honestly I did not finish it because it just got too cheesy for me which is beyond comprehension typically I adore the Lifetime type of murder movie- but yukky love scenes, distracting makeup/hair, overly dramatic acting and bad music was just too much this time. I just couldn't concentrate on the story and kept losing track on what was happening. ( holy crap I can't believe how tacky his shirt is... oh wait a minute did he just say he loves her? ) Maybe I just wasn't in the mood? I may try to finish it when I'm feeling stronger.

So, the story is actually pretty good, and it keeps you interested. I love Judith Light in anything, and this is no different. Her character is nearly identical to that of Angela Bower. She's a high powered attorney instead of an ad executive, but you get the idea. It even looks like she borrowed clothes from Angela's closet for this movie. My big complaint about this movie is that she and her on screen husband have NO chemistry. He's wearing sweats and exercising for much of the time and ends up looking less like her husband and more like her son who's been scolded for being a naughty. Speaking of her son, he's played by a pre-Roseanne Johnny Galecki, who does a pretty good job too.

Anyway, I saw the movie on Netflix, so if you have that, I do recommend giving it a look!

This movie was good beyond my expectation. I loved the plot, the characters. Judith Light was great. I Enjoyed it. Except for the saxophone which I thought didn't fit in right into the movie.

That's said, the story could be fun, but with both lovers, the wife and the girlfriend being significantly older than the male defendant, the whole movie becomes increasingly incomprehensible.
