Iambydefault @johnhughesmuse Mar 2 Some of this movie is a bit Lifetime movie. But it was highly watchable and easy to watch. I enjoyed it. See more Michael B @MButler03 02/03/2025 Hallmarkish movie of a three-way affair that shares only obvious perils these situations present. Poor lighting, multiple studio set designs that look pulled together on a tight budget, and casting that provided zero connectivity between characters. Honestly, if it weren’t for the humor derived from how poorly this farce is portrayed, I would have left at 30 minutes in. Moore’s performance shows the big screen was just too big for her weak tea ability. Waterman comes off as a lost soul drowning in a shallow sea of rewritten lines. Danson, terrible. No redeeming value or watchability here. See more Jeff M @jeffmarshallmovieblogger 01/26/2024 This was one of my late mother's favorite movies, so when I saw it pop up on TV recently, I thought I'd revisit it in her honor. Let me just start by saying this - if the Hallmark Channel were around in the mid 1980s, this would have been playing 24/7. Death, deception, secrets, lies, affairs, earthquakes and aerobics - who could ask for anything more? Frankly, this is the cinematic equivalent of fast food, and it would be totally insufferable if it weren't for the caliber of the cast involved, particularly Christine Lahti, an actress who can practically do no wrong in my book. This will never be confused for high art, but it's definitely watchable in a Days-of-Our-Lives-Young-and-the_Restless kinda way. So in honor of my mom, I give this a slight recommendation. And once again, if you're a Hallmark movie fan, grab some popcorn and watch it on loop for at least 72 hours. See more 11/03/2014 Unusual situation develops when woman unknowingly becomes friends at the gym with the wife of the man who she is having an affair with. Awkward dinner party was interesting but film drags on too long with Danson's death and subsequent baby. See more 05/17/2014 Adult-oriented drama has women becoming friends unaware that one is having an affair with the other's husband; made more complicated after his untimely death. This one had no hope for blockbuster appeal and really didn't appeal to me either, despite credible production and cast. See more 09/02/2013 Ahh, yes, 1986 - this was the time when people thought casting Ted Danson for something other than a bad TV series was a good idea. He has the screen presence of a fruit basket. It does pick up once Waterston moves into the main picture. See more Read all reviews
