My brief review of the film

A made-for-television feature with quite an interesting premise, the content is however not enough to last for feature length. It is additionally burdened by cliché-reliant directing and maudlin use of music, which make the film both look and sound like the run-of-the-mill telepic that in fact it is. The shots often feel too close up too, and although it raises some thought-provoking ideas, they are dealt with in a hackneyed, tiresome manner. Still, if nothing else, it is worth seeing what Michael Murphy does with his role. He is quite a good actor and capable of a very human performance - it is a shame that in his later years he has been reduced to supporting roles in such mediocre stuff as this. It is not a bad film per se, but "mediocre" sure is an apt term.

So tedious. And the character who's not even the main focus is actually the one who's unlikable

An interesting look at the possible consequences of adultery

Pretty standard Lifetime fodder

Just caught the last hour or so of this -- pretty standard stuff. It took me a bit to recognize Blair Brown -- she sure has aged since her days (and nights) on "The Days And Nights Of Molly Dodd".

Is it just me or does Kristin Davis look like Heather Graham's long-lost brunette cousin (in a Laura Palmer - Maddy Ferguson kinda way)?
