Passion impossible

OK people- i admit the film did drag on a bit in certain parts , BUT it was a good story and was done really well- the acting's pretty good too! i do recommend people to watch it only if they have a good amount of PATIENCE! And if you're a fan of 'Charmed' both Julian Mcmahon and Shannon Doherty are in the film!!! Oh and the story is quite confusing because it keeps switching back and forth between the times and some of the time i didn't know what the hell was going on but still its worth watching.

i gave it a massive 8 out of 10 so it cant be as bad as the other reviewer said!!

I thought this movie was superb. Shannen Doherty and Julian McMahon were brilliant together in this.

This movie is a good watch for people who believe in destiny and fate. It shows that no matter what one does to prevent a regrettable incident from occurring, when given the chance, destiny will take over. I watched it not knowing that is was a thriller, but it really did keep you wondering what was going to happen in the end and what actually happened at the beginning. Shannen Doherty's narration at the beginning and the end made it seem more real and the amazing camera shots of the river was truly beautiful.

It had me shouting at the TV telling Kate what to do and the movie affected me so much that I was crying.

If you liked the movie Sliding Doors, then this is the film for you. I really recommend that you give this movie a chance as it has everything a TV movie should have. Love, drama, suspense and above all, Julian McMahon.

It was a lovely story, I think, but I was confused a good bit of the time. I wondered if the movie started before I started watching but was nearly sure it didn't. The actors and Shannon were talented in this role. She is beautiful. I pretty much caught on to the story before the end but was busy trying to figure it out the whole time. I did search it out on-line and found the IMDb website which I found very helpful in clarifying my confusion when I was able to read comments from others and find that others were also in varying degrees of confusion. I didn't choose the movie but when I overstayed the previous one on Lifetime I could not go on about my planned activity for the afternoon because I was "hooked" into it very quickly. It was a good exercise for my sometimes lazy brain.

We watched this movie twice and were not wiser for it. And each time we not only asked ourselves 'what is happening?' but 'why are we watching this movie?'.

Yet we all wanted to get to the end so we'd seen it, so we really knew there was no more to it than that. So we could know that this was a terribly constructed screenplay with enormous gaps, all too slow a tempo, no golden thread, and a whole lot of confusion as icing on this not too palatable cake.

So we did all get to the end - twice - and now we know. Approach this movie with a barge pole.

A comment i keep seeing about this movie is that the plot at times does not make sense. I have the answer as to why.

The movie was written by my aunt and uncle, Don MacLeod and Helen Frost. When my aunt and uncle write, they write their movies in a format appropriate for release on the big screen. TV movies require huge amounts of plot to be cut out for the allotted time period. As such, important details were cut out of the movie itself which sometimes made the plot a little hard to follow. If you read the original script written by them, the plot makes complete sense, but for the sake of time compression, key events and plot happenings had to be taken out.
