a pink movie like too many others. clichés, same rules of an impossible love story, links with the past and the second youth. few drops of drama and a good actress as axis of a mediocre story. so, the good thing is the conclusion after its end. because, obvious, it is not so bad. decent solutions of script for few confuse details and the desire of Jaquelline Bisset to use each possibility of credibility for her character are the good points. the bad thing could be Eric Mabius who is real uncomfortable in a role who pretend not very much from his actor. but the result is OK , in part because it is the expected one. nothing surprises. few beautiful scenes. and a nice film about the second chance and the true love.

This was a perfect movie for a group of middle aged women to watch on a cold snowy day at the cottage. I have always enjoyed Jacqueline Bisset's movies. I think Bobby Roth did a decent job directing this film. I will certainly read the book now. I think many of us can put ourselves in Jackie's shoes. Your marriage is failing apart because of the actions of the man you love so much and then a handsome, enjoyable, younger man comes along and admires you as a beautiful woman inside and out. I would definitely recommend this to other women to view or read. Can anyone tell me where I might be able to buy this movie? I have searched everywhere and just can't seem to find it.

I ticked the spoiler box... The spoiler is - Don't watch this! It's devoid of all merit. (With deep thanks to my wife who is watching it avidly right now and inflicting the movie on me. Surely I had something more important to do - like belching or sorting navel lint collection). Budge over and pass me the remote woman! Guys .....run if this film ever comes on and don't look back. Chick flick with a vengeance. Yuck.I did like the comment from someone else about guys not committing to women even their own age. You can see what the female character's going to get out of it however much they dress it up. But the male character. Heh heh heh - his role is just mind numbingly unbelievable as they've put words in his mouth like he's really into this whole wishy washy trip. Doesn't he have any mates to slap him round the chops and drag him down the bar? Jeeeez. Wize up wuss. Going with older women fine. Being that much of an ever loving dreamboat? Please make it stop. (Oh it did - lol just then when I was typing - thank god, now what's on the other side).Heh postscript. My wife just finished watching the whole thing then stretched got up and said "God what a load of rubbish - why did I watch that".

I knew I wouldn't like the film as much as the novel, which was so intelligently written. But other than the fact that the casting was somewhat off (in the book, the age difference is not so very noticeable and the relationship is much more believable) I have to say I was glued to the screen. I admit there were some lame lines of dialogue that the author of the novel wouldn't have written, but it was just so good to see a smart and intelligent film (my God, they quoted Yeats!) on TV that I loved it. And Jacqueline Bisset just gets more beautiful and talented as time goes on. We need more roles like this one for actresses over forty.
