Trivia
The bottle of wine Simon gives Jessica and Evan is branded "Chateau Poulette," after the film's director, Michel Poulette.

Goofs
The characters of Jessica and Evan are only engaged, yet they have the same last name, Crowder. (This, however, is not necessarily an error, perhaps they chose to have the same surname for convenience. This is the 21st Century after all.)

Quotes
Robin Simmons: [Jessica is lying in bed away from the door, arms crossed over her stomach as Robin looks sympathetically] How're you feeling?
Jessica Crowder: Leave me alone
Robin Simmons: Sorry if you feel like I betrayed you, but you were going to destroy our home.
[Jessica scoffs and shifts in bed]
Jessica Crowder: Stop calling this a home!
Robin Simmons: [forceful, goes to sit on bed] You would've ended up like Megan if I hadn't stopped you.
[Jessica partially sits up to face Robin, cautious, her face tear-stained]
Jessica Crowder: Who's Megan?
Robin Simmons: [looking away] The girl who was here before me. She couldn't find love in her heart for Simon and she kept trying t' run away.
Jessica Crowder: [trying to be calm] Did he kill her?
[no answer]
Jessica Crowder: Robin, did he kill her?
Robin Simmons: No!
[her face crumbles a bit]
Robin Simmons: I did. It was my punishment. I didn't try hard enough to stop her. I can't go through that again.
[Gets up and leaves]

Formula Fun Abduction Fantasy

After a frightening apartment robbery, attractive graphic designer Courtney Ford (as Jessica "Jess" Crowder) and her handsome fiancé Andrew W. Walker (as Evan Crowder) move into a picturesque suburban house. They are immediately welcomed by quirky-looking neighbor Shaun Benson (as Simon), a professor in "Men's Studies." He comes from a 1950s "traditional background," having a father who worked and a mother who cooked. Also an amateur crime investigator, Ms. Ford does not cook. She doesn't watch "Lifetime" TV Movies, either, or she would have known better than to get too chummy with quirky neighbors...

"Kept Woman" follows the formula for making these television movies fun. A great looking cast in an abduction fantasy, with some subtle humor; it's marvelously played. Michel Poulette's direction and the cool set design are quite nice, so stay tuned. The opening scenes are not strong, but they move the story along quickly. It would have been nice to build up more suspense between Ford and Mr. Benson, who is positively delicious as the male chauvinist professor. The "family" formed by Benson could have been further developed, also. Still, it's better to leave viewers expecting to see more, than wanting to see less.
