I read the book years ago. I recently heard that it was made into a movie and felt that I HAD to see it. I re-read the book (in 2 days) and watched the movie the following day so that all the details were fresh in my head.The movie is similar to the book but not enough like it. In the book she had 3 kids, and put her family above all, whereas in the Movie she only had 2 children which she neglected regularly. And her business did NOT struggle in the book, when she did go through hard time, she always appointed someone to handle things. She mentioned several times in the book how she needed to go home and cook dinner for her family, but in the movie she couldn't even make it to sports games?? They also skipped all the drama with her lovers ex girlfriend and what happened to her romantic fling with the female. They also completely eliminated their entire childhood story which was like 10 chapters in the book. Their childhood was part of what makes you fall in love with the characters.In addition, her Best Friend Brina was a Train Wreck in the book but was holding her down in the Movie and you couldn't really tell that she was her Best friend. We only know that because Brina stated it in conversation. They never did anything together in the movie. With that being said, there was No Brina Drama either. And for ANYONE who read the book, you know that is a big deal.The last thing I will say is that, in the movie they turned her into a scared women. In the book she was so edgy and ready to (smack a hoe), at the drop of a dime. She had one heck of a temper in the book. Yelp, not in the movie.All in All, I hated the movie because I know what it SHOULD have been like. If I had not read the book than I guess it would have been OK (6/10), but still not great.

I watched this on DVD from my public library. Based on the title it tells a story that could be any addiction - drugs, alcohol, sex - and the main protagonist goes through the various phases. And there is a ray of hope at the end.Sharon Leal, 40-ish, is Zoe Reynard and has formed her own company, "Zoe and Company", to represent and find financial opportunities for artists. She apparently is good at it but the one time we see her approaching a new client she is rather passive. Maybe because she was attracted to him.Indeed he romances her and agrees to be represented mainly because he wants her. She in turn has developed a sex addiction and although she has a great family and loves her husband, she cannot control her lustful desires.This drama plays out more like a "B" movie, especially during the last half hour or so. It is interesting but not too memorable.Boris Kodjoe is good as the architect husband Jason Reynard.

I really don't understand such a bad reviews and i was provoked to write one because. This movie isn't perfect, acting can be better, so the script.But the way it approached womens infidelity, it was great. This is certainly a subject that is not talked about often, a woman is unhappy in marriage, her husband is lovely, but she misses something,,and she falls for someone beautiful and exciting. Of course it is not right, of course it is not OK. But if it s a man, then everyone would cheer up, and since this is a woman, then she is a wh.... She was raped when she was little, and it emerges at the end of a movie, everything comes from childhood...I believe that this movie is perfect to watch for married couples, so they could work on their relationship always , trust each other, and talk to each other always...This could happen to everyone, so be careful , and watch the movie!!!

Wow where to begin..everything about this movie is horrible, I suffered for 40 minutes through this drivel in the hopes the lead actress (Sharon Leal) would do some of her old 'Boston Public' magic and make the film worth watching, however all she did was drag an already drowning film under.From the outset the film looks feels and sounds like a daytime soap opera, the acting is so bad I felt embarrassed for the actors. I Don't know if the producers of this crap live in the real world, but in my version psychologists do not have sessions that run all day and into the wee hours of the night....what the hell?, and since when do supposed 'successful artists' drive beat up old 68 Chev's with the paint literally peeling off?....Believe me there is NOTHING in this movie worth taking seriously.What a shame Sharon Leal couldn't find something to actually bring her back into the light, instead of having the lights turned off and the door slammed shut.Terrible, just terrible.
