Méditation et Tentation

LMN movies are my guilty pleasure. I love watching for the sheer ridiculousness of the plots and characters. My 14 year old son has even started watching with me just so we can laugh at the craziness of it all! With that being said, this is the most boring LMN movie I've ever seen. Nothing happens for an hour and a half into the movie. Just a lot of talking, stretching and weird bathtub dreams. Snore.

The action is really delayed, 50 minutes into the movie and the yoga instructor is not yet a psycho, it was a bit overrated

This movie has a surprising title and baited us to tune it and so we watched. Both the acting and the plot were very strong! Bored housewife goes to yoga class with a friend and finds out the instructor is a psycho who wants to give her private lessons! Uh, oh.......Enjoyable and recommended!

This definitely is not a movie that is meant to win accolades, much less Oscars, but it's entertaining and easy to watch. I'm a fan of trying to learn from everything I watch, and for this movie, I learned that sometimes we just have to take things for what they are (to get the most out of them).

I liked the lead actress a lot; something about her is amiable and endearing, plus she really seemed to want to do right by her marriage.

Her husband initially seems prickly, but he is very affable as well. I appreciate that he is a fellow Texan, and LOVED his little accent that I could hear (being a native and all).

The strengths of this movie to me are the friendship between the two women, and also the marriage itself. If you are married, you likely have been in similar situations with your spouse, and it gets difficult to constantly see unrealistic depictions of marriage. This couple really mastered the subtleties of marriage after the honeymoon is over, and the "surprise" he provides to her is so sweet. I don't cry at movies, but if I did, that scene would have required some tissues.

Dominic the weird yoga sensei is definitely creeperville and he did a fantastic job at being a complete loser. It was funny to see him turn into someone so uncertain of himself, and it seems like he enjoyed playing that role.

Great little flick to watch if you are just wanting to forget about your own life for a little.

I always look at bad reviews if a movie has some but simple "bad" or "boring" here just is simply not appropriate. This is a Lifetime Network TV movie intended for certain female audience and even though the first half of the movie is mostly a mix of drama of marriage crisis and yoga class, it is still interesting to watch how things can turn bizarre even in an yoga class. Well there's lesson to be learned that one should make extra effort to be cautious in vulnerable or trying life situations - easier said than done!
