Teneramente insieme

i had to watch this twice ...as i was engulf by the story and how they were initially hinged each other and of course.. the lead actors carried their roles effectively but the most important pointer is the chemistry between the lead actors.. it made me feel i had butterflies in my stomach.. i love watching them interact and not to forget the revelation handsome boy who was the culprit to all the innuendos in the movies..plotting not against but FOR his guardians.. i mean parents sort of... Just cant stop liking this movie..a bit cheesy but ultimately wonderfully done... all the scenes will capture your liking.. til the end... 5 thumbs up for fun , romantic, all family made movie for this one...

This was a very sweet, romantic movie but oh so predictable. A successful woman Chris, (Jane Seymour) raises her nephew after the untimely death of her pregnant sister Shelly. The father of the child is unknown. Years later Chris finds a letter written by Shelly and she mails it to the father, Mason, never expecting what would happen next. A custody battle ensues and the child, who is now about 8 or so suggests to the judge that the best way to settle this dispute is to have Mom and "Dad" marry.

Seymour and James Brolin were very good in their roles and it was a refreshing change from most of the drivel out there in TV land where graphic images of murdered & autopsied bodies seems to be the newest thing.

If you like romance novels you will definitely enjoy this movie. If you're a guy you will most likely hate it. I like feel good movies and this one did that for me.

I agree with another review here, this was a winning team with Jane Seymour and James Brolin. It is completely fiction but in viewing it, you will find it brightens one's day. Also it is a film with good morals and personal values. The second love of Brolin's in this film portrayed Kari Matchett gave an outstanding performance. You have to love her performance as well. The little boy (David Kaye) in this film served as a good match maker between Seymour and Brolin... his performance was also outstanding. The Judge Lorena Gale also gave an excellent performance. Lorena Gale is a well known actress and playwright with many credits to her name. It is sad she died shortly after this film was made at the age 51. Shirley Knight who was Seymour's mother was a great match for her role in this film.

I think this is a classic film that will be enjoyed for many years to come. This film was based on a novel and many of the best films made have come from books or stories.

While most of us like to purport to enjoy grandiose productions, costing 9 figures, and delivering deep messages - this simple movie, with two engaging adult leads, and one of the few juvenile performances which is not annoying, but equally engaging, is an outstanding piece of entertainment. Brolin and Alexander are handsome and likable, and one can enjoy not only viewing them, but also an old-fashioned "happy ending." It doesn't matter you can see it coming from a mile away, you enjoy it no less. This is a movie which you will look forward to seeing a second time. The only unfortunate aspect, is that while you'd enjoy seeing this couple in a sequel, it isn't probable, since these characters would likely have no problems to resolve, as necessary for dramatic purposes to warrant a sequel (and one would not like to see the happy resolution of this original compromised).

This highly entertaining movie surprised the hell out of me, because it's really great and compelling considering the fact that it's a TV film.Marriage of Convenience is well-produced and directed, with a modest but pleasant love story.There is nothing new here, but at least you will find an old-fashioned "valentines" motion picture.James Brolin is an underrated excellent and capable actor, and he plays his part with charm.It's a shame the fact that only his son Josh is making success on the big screens (Hollow Man, Best Laid Plans), because James Brolin is an actor who still has a lot to offer beyond being Barbra Streisand's husband. Jane Seymour is great as his romantic interest. The film is sweet and simple, maybe that's why it was so interesting and appealing to me, because nowadays violence and brutal deaths are becoming frequent ways to attract people to the theaters, and seeing something like this soft love story makes you fell good.
