This is actually not that bad of a movie. While certainly the script and the acting leave much to be desired, there is actually great chemistry between all of the actors. I feel bad for Dyan Cannon, who is a surprise to see in this and horribly underutilized. If you happen to catch this movie (I saw it on WE - formerly the Romance Network) plan on doing something else while you watch it - like opening a bottle of wine and working on a puzzle or something. And make sure no men are around as I doubt they'd be able to stand anymore than 5 minutes or so. The movie "Diamond Girl" is sort of like pizza rolls, so terribly bad for you and greasy, processed and cheaply made, yet you find yourself consuming the lot until the very end.

This movie like the book was meant to be lighthearted, and cute. I think that's what it was. I watched it the first time because I had read the book. I watched and taped it the second time because the actor Jonathan Cake who played Regan is hot. So if your a follower of romance books and you like fluff then you should like this movie. Besides the love making scene in the movie is a portrayal of how most women want their lovers/husbands to act.

This is a Diana Palmer book.I love all her books- makes me cry and laugh.

If you like Harlequin movies that always have a happy love interest ending, you'll probably like this one. For me it was just ok. BUT, when Dyan Cannon came running out to meet Regan (Jonathan Cake) I thought it was going to be his sister and then he called her "mother!" As soon as I saw her face and knew immediately it was Dyan Cannon, who I have enjoyed in so many movies (I'm in my 70's), my immediate thought was that she has had the best face lift I've ever seen in a Hollywood female movie star! She's 80 years old (as of the date of the movie) and her figure looks as great as it did in the sixties. WOW! She was worth seeing to make the movie tolerable for me. Cheers Dyan!

I, like one of the previous reviewers, caught this movie on WE. I was only able to see the second half. What I saw made me want to buy the video. I had to wait til it aired again on WE. It was worth it. The movie makes little sense. But this is typical of most human relationships in our modern world. Dissecting the movie is a waste of effort. But the emotion that is stirred in the viewer is something else. One just feels good viewing this movie. Maybe that is the essence of paperback romance novels of today. One simply feels an uplift while reading them. Going any deeper destroys the ambiance.

What this is a bad movie. Well, when you start with a Diana Palmer novel it is hard to imagine that the result would be any different.

While Joley Collins and Kevin Otto manage to rise above it and give reasonable performances, Jonathan Cake is out of his element. He is even more stiff and uncomfortable than his character calls for him to be. Although, he does manage a credible North American Accent.

Young Blair Slater also manages to be appealing despite the script.

Do yourself a favor and let me be the judge. It's not worth your time to find out if I am right or not.

In the UK we have a publishing house called Mills & Boon who specialise in romance novels. These books are not long about 230 pages and does what it says on the tin!! It is about the meeting and falling in love of two people and the obstacles they face along the way. Now if you have read any of these books you WILL appreciate Diamond Girl. I am not ashamed to say that my wife and I have read a number of Mills and Boon and this film is a good tribute to those books. The story was simple and the chemistry between the actors was there and I think Jonathan Cake is a classic Mills & Boon man. I enjoyed this film immensely and I am very happy to say that I have it as part of my DVD collection and when I need to some light entertainment to get me through an hour and a Half I will happily turn to the film Diamond Girl.

this movie has the romantic essentials. it has the eye looking, friendship, attraction, the complications, and the happy ending. for all the romantics out there this movie is great for you. i personally wouldn't mind having this movie in my collecion. trust me if your not a romantic this movie is not for you.

I liked this movie, thought it was very cute. It's not going to win any Oscars, but I doubt that was the intent. Nice "feel good" movie. Would love to purchase it and add to my collection, but I have been unable to track it down and have not seen it aired again in over a year.

I love this movie also. Its just a nice movie. I love the premise about a girl who is in love with her boss; then his brother shows up and they decide to make everyone think they're a couple thereby making the other brother jealous so he would fall for the girl. Of course it backfires and the brother realizes that he loves her. I've never seen any of these actors before but they're all very good. I have watched in on TV numerous times but wanted to own a copy. Its unavailable here in the US but you can find it on DVD in Canada from imavision.com. Its inexpensive and a great movie all around! I recommend it highly to anyone who loves romance books!

I liked this movie and would really like to see it again. What I'd really like to do is buy it but can't find it anywhere. I caught it on WE like other users but didn't get to see it again to tape it. The acting was kinda iffy but Jonathan Cake was beautiful. It gave you a good feeling like a romance novel does. I'd recommend it if you have a non-busy day to yourself.
