For the Love of Jessee

While the actors are all very good looking, the acting itself falled horribly flat. Very cringeworthy, actually. Sage was the only believable character. The others were just reading lines. Loved the storyline, but I agree with a previous review about the medical aspects. Absolutely no way would an OBGYN stand aside while a patient was dying and making nurses do the work. I was in the patient position and my doctor was the one who saved my life. And absolutely NO way would a doctor be permitted to perform his wife's own cesarean...not realistic at all...glad I watched it because the plotline tugged at my heart strings, but once was enough.

Good story. I watch a lot of hallmarks and this movie pulled at my heartstrings.

This movie is so refreshing. It's a story of real life issues: love, loss, relationships, and 2nd chances. The casting, I thought, was well done. Randy Wayne as Dr. Luke Matthews (you have to love the guy), Mandahla Rose as Sage Smith (the Dr's nanny & new love interest), & Adrienne Barbeau as Katharyn (Luke's mother). I enjoyed the development of each character and the transitions that occurred in their lives and relationships...Watch it, I think you will like it.

This is the same story as another 1995 film called Jack & Sarah. Jack & Sarah starred Richard E. Grant and was a wonderful film. Search it out. This update is good but the medical scenes were embellished for dramatic effects.

I liked the storyline. However, the acting was sub par - except for Sage (Mandahla Rose), Kathryn (Adrienne Barbeau), and Dr. Luke* (Randy Wayne).

*He did much better when he was paired up with Rose and/or Barbeau.

There were a couple unrealistic scenes. One, where the friend (a fellow doctor) stood back and, from a distance) "directed" the nurses on life-saving measures. The doctor normally steps-in to try and save a person's life.

The second situation was when Dr. Luke performed a cesarean on his own wife. That is a definite NO-NO!
