    For a made-for-TV drama, fairly strong and involving...

    Jean Smart is a tower of strength as married mother of two who follows a hunch one afternoon and tracks her husband of 20 years to a hotel room--where he's cozily wrapped in a white terrycloth robe and making chit-chat with a strapping man in a matching towel. His secret's out! Of course this is all cliché by now, and some viewers will bemoan that fact and give up right there, but Lifetime's "A Change of Heart" addresses these issues with forceful emotion and realistic exchanges. There's hurt and anger and tears, but Aaron Mendelsohn's teleplay doesn't sink into sap. The male lover isn't given any dimensions--and seems to have a great home of his own, so why were they meeting at a hotel?--and the teenagers involved are tiresomely belligerent. Nevertheless, Jean Smart is the acting centerpiece here and she does the movie a world of good. Her speech to the board of directors where she and her husband work is flawlessly handled, and her bravura spirit at the end will give a lot of viewers hope. A good actress can do that. **1/2 from ****

    How not to react when you find your husband in bed with another man...

    Jean Smart's character acts like an absolute bitch to absolutely everyone after her discovery. Everyone who crosses her path gets the full load but she can't even say the words... I realize it's probably your worst nightmare to find out your husband's bisexual, but - as one character aptly puts it - it's better than finding your husband in the arms of a 25-year old bimbo. Hats off to the people who dared to make a movie about the subject! If this means that one more person feels it is now easier to talk about it, this movie has done it's job! If there is an underlying moral, it must be; TALK ABOUT IT! Keep the channels of communication open!

    This movie is garbage

    Well, when reading other user's comments, I agreed on one point: the movie pictures in a very believable way the reaction a wife can have when discovering after twenty years of marriage that her husband is gay: the reaction of her colleagues was also portrayed in quite a realistic way and I was beginning to think it was a fairly good movie until one moment, which, in my opinion, ruins the entire movie: it is the moment when the son, who has attacked a young gay man because he couldn't bear the fact that his father is gay sits in front of the judge in the presence of the victim, pleads guilty (finally, he previously lied to the court)and then his victim stands up and suddenly says "Your honour, is it too late to withdraw my complaint?" So, to sum up, the most disgusting character in the movie just acknowledges he assaulted an innocent victim because he had to pass his nerves on someone, and then, everything is O.K.? No, this is unacceptable, it is a barely disguised attempt to encourage homophobia (in this case, but this can be extended to any other aggression motivated by hatred). Moreover, the story is supposed to take place in Oregon, which is considered a quite open-minded state in the U.S.What a shame! This movie would have been far better if someone had beaten the hell out of of this repulsive garbage of a son!!!

    Nine-tenths believable

    The perfect family--Mom, Dad, teenage daughter and son--is thrown into absolute turmoil when Dad is discovered to be a closeted gay with a male lover. The unanimous hysterical reaction of wife and kids to his carefully guarded secret is all too believable. One could question his judgement in marrying and raising a family, but not his fear of the consequence of discovery (which probably drove him into marriage in the first place). In about nine-tenths of this film, knee-jerk responses, closed minds, and programmed thinking reign. Given this, the last few scenes stretch credulity to a cinematic breaking point.

    nice story

    I have woken up twice in the last two weeks to this movie. (including this morning)

    I am wondering why the local TV stations are playing it at 2 and 3am? Could it be the controversial (even now) content?

    I am glad it was made, and it was sensitively and smartly done. It should get a wider audience.
