An Unexpected Love

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.

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.

Why do all movies on Lifetime have such anemic titles? "An Unexpected Love" - ooh, how provocative!! "This Much I know" would have been better. The film is nothing special. Real people don't really talk like these characters do and the situations are really hackneyed. The straight woman who "turns" lesbian seemed more butch than the lesbian character. If you wanna watch two hot women kiss in a very discreet fashion, you might enjoy this. Although it seems like it was written by someone who doesn't really get out in the world to observe people. Why am I wasting my time writing about it?

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!

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!
