Another Woman

So this film was released in 1994, I am hazarding a guess that male spoken out garbage was acceptable at this time, and this is a review written by a bloke !!

So the plot to this film, is a women that is attacked leaving her with amnesia. The husband is in the process of divorcing her due to one reason or another and at the time of his first visit, he is not convinced that she is faking the loss of memory.

For me, the scene is set when the husband walks into the hospital ward with his hands in his pockets of his pleated trouser suit with a subtle swagger, (unbelievable that is wife has had the **** kicked out of her) and then questions the validity of the attack.

A script at this time I guess would have been considered entertaining but in 2023 its not. The fact that the husband is portrayed has some eligible gods gift to women throughout, the sheer fact that the wife went 3-4 rounds with various kinds of blunt instruments, I would have settled and left the ****hole.

One film that should be left in the 90's.

First the revelation - I read romance novels and as any serious reader will know it can be quite hard to transfer the emotions described in a book onto film. This film managed it. Why? Because the acting was believable, there was chemistry and the story line was entirely plausible. I own this movie and I am happy to own it and I think the best compliment I could give is to say that as soon as I watched I wanted to watch it again. This is a feel good movie. If you're not romantic or a parent you might not get it but I loved it hence my 8 out of 10. And now I'm off to watch it again!!! Ps Justine Bateman - need to see her more on TV as she portrays emotions excellently. Not many actresses cry real tears!

OK I admit it, I really found this one charming. Not great, just a nice comfortable movie to watch while no one was home this afternoon. The couple is so cute, (although Peter Outerbridge was "cuter" in Better than Chocolate) and you just want them to fall back in love. Everyone should have such a life!

So if you have an afternoon and no one is home, sit on the couch, tuck your legs up and pass the bonbons . . .

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 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.
