I stumbled across this while channel surfing last week. This movie did not affect me on a personal level but it was really good. I thought that everyone did an exceptional job! The writing, acting and everything was done well and easy to follow. Kudos to all involved in this project!
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!
"An Unexpected Love" was a great movie for about everyone (gay,bisexual, and straight)women around the world. It showed some of the trials that we go through when deciding to come out or even to persue woman at all. I enjoyed it, although some would say that the idea of a woman who is married to a man with two kids would leave the husband for a woman. The point that most forget or don't know is that bisexual and gay women when they are in relationships its not because of the sex of the person but how they feel about them as a person not their sex. The movie touched my heart because I had gone through many of those bad experiences although I have to say I had support to. Like Kat she had Mac to support her, I had a close friend who did and many other people. This movie showed even in the kiss how someone who has never kissed someone of the same sex on the lips would kiss. I being one person who has tried it once in my life can say that most of us take it slow and are kind of shy with the first kiss. So I hope my review helps give a point of view from another perspective.
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 laughed all the way through this rotten movie. It's so unbelievable. A woman leaves her husband after many years of marriage, has a breakdown in front of a real estate office. What happens? The office manager comes outside and offers her a job!!! Hilarious! Next thing you know the two women are going at it. Yep, they're lesbians! Nothing rings true in this "Lifetime for Women with nothing better to do" movie. Clunky dialogue like "I don't want to spend the rest of my life feeling like I had a chance to be happy and didn't take it" doesn't help. There's a wealthy, distant mother who disapproves of her daughter's new relationship. A sassy black maid - unbelievable that in the year 2003, a film gets made in which there's a sassy black maid. Hattie McDaniel must be turning in her grave. The woman has a husband who freaks out and wants custody of the snotty teenage kids. Sheesh! No cliche is left unturned.
