In a very long, long while. Terrible - walk away, walk away.

The movie is reasonably well made but it falls well short of being a good movie. It's basically a relationship drama about an aging woman who practices polyamory meaning she pursues multiple sexual relationships concurrently and ensuring each relationship stays superficial enough to avoid strings being attached. It sounds interesting enough in theory but the reality disappoints because, mainly the characters are not compelling enough to make the viewer really care. Date one man or date 10, sorry I just can't be bothered to concern myself. It might be different if the female lead was someone I might like to date. But she's just an older lady without much really going for her. She's not unattractive per se, but I just don't see any sizzle and I think most men would agree. I can't say much for the other characters either. If you just wanted something on to waste some time, this could work. But if you're expecting more, just pass on this.

I thought this was a very circumspective love story with a most reasonable if not believable plot. I was caught off guard by William Shockley being one of Veronica's love interest's and couldn't place him at first then BINGO, "Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman" and the crazy saloon keeper, Hank. -So to see him in this dynamic opposite with Jane Seymour as a love interest was rather provocative. While the movie was a bit slow? I totally understand the relationships including the well played gay couple who added great interest to Veronica's life if not that of Brandon. Being in "the vicinity" of Jane Seymour's peer group? I totally and completely found many of her traits identifiable and realistic. Though I felt Brandon was too much a "cut above" the average man to be as enlightened as he was. I'm actually very impressed with many of the made for TV movies and others that JS has played in - in the past decade. She was also good in her Netflix role of the "Kominsky Method" of late. I hope she continues on as she is as a beautiful actress with a real style and class that few continue to possess in her/my age group. Very enjoyable movie; not "earth shaking" but most definitely, thought provoking.

Jane Seymour was the reason I initially watched and then stuck through this. She plays a woman who relishes her life as a mistress, only having relationships with married men, she then finds her feelings tested by an old friend but can't admit it.

Not a great movie, on a made for T.V/ Hallmarkish sort of style & budget, it was nice to see a woman Jane's age, with...gasp... wrinkles in a romance, she's still beautiful. There are some kinda gross love scenes, even disregarding the age factor that had way too much open mouthed kissing, Jane looked like she was going to eat Parker Stevenson at one point, I had too look away.

Fortunately, I didn't pay a dime to watch this piece of rubbish. However, I pity my friend who did.. I'll explain the reasons why: 1. Acting: Way below par even from those actors and actresses I consider to have some sort of talent (Seymour/Shockley). Shockley is still "trapped" in his DQMW "Hank Lawson" role and he needs to snap out of it; 2. Plot: Nothing to see here; 3. Dialogue: Nonsensical and in the best of cases, annoyingly whiny and infested with self-pity; All in all, this film was so overbearing with pretentious and irreverently bland acting, incongruous plot and no meaningful dialogue nor interpersonal dynamics between the main characters involved. What a self-indulgent and ridiculous pile of rubbish. To reiterate, I'm glad I didn't pay a dime to watch this. However, I did waste circa 2 hours of my life for it..
