An Unexpected Love

Crewson was meant to be Mac Hays, everything in her was perfect, her hair, the make up, the way she moves, she kisses, she walks, she smiles and laughs, she was the perfect match with the character. Love you Wendy.

This movie was not AWFUL as the previous remark said. This happens in real life with certain people. The story was OK. Maybe the acting wasn't award winning but have you seen all the tv shows and certain movies that have worse acting? #1 in bad acting are soap opera's. I thought the movie brought out a message at least to me it did and I gained an understanding of what happens in a family in the situation. I am sorry but I love lifetime movies and I can watch them all day and night long.

I really enjoyed this movie; in fact I wish it was longer (or that the characters - all of them- would be brought back for a sequel). The movie isn't perfect (for example, I think the daughters and husbands issues were settled a little too easily, but I guess you have to expect that in a 2 hour movie). The best thing about this movie was the cast; terrific to a person. But for me, Wendy Crewson was exceptional. Her performance resonated with such emotional honesty I was really touched by it. I frankly think I liked the movie as much as I did because of her performance.

When I was introduced to McNally 'Mac' Hays due to Wendy Crewson's powerful portrayal of her character in "An Unexpected Love", I now have the image of EXACTLY what kind of woman I hope to someday share my life with. Wendy's ability to create a character that is incredibly human, kind, in touch with and secure in the fact that she is gay, and yet incredibly vulnerable as she entertains the possibilities of a new relationship while still recovering from past hurts is the stuff that life is made of... what we all struggle with every day, regardless of our sexual orientation. To watch Mac second-guess herself while simultaneously following her heart has given me a mirror to look into that is so incredibly reflective of my own life, I could do little but press the rewind button and watch this movie over and over again.

Thank you, Wendy, from the bottom of my heart. Your talents as an actress have healed a place in me I thought would never awaken.

If you have not seen this film you're missing out! The story was thought-provoking, tender and incredibly moving. The acting-all the way around-was absolutely superb (big thumbs up to Wendy Crewson...her portrayal of Mac is great). I'd best sum it up by saying that if you're an open-minded individual who enjoys a touching film-watch it...and if you're a not-so-open-minded individual-really watch it and really learn from it. It's great!
