Audience Member another modern day love triangle Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member LOOKING FOR AN UPLIFTINGLY FULFILLING CLIMATIC FLICK-THIS IS NOT IT.LEAVES YOU UNAMUSED AND UNPHASED. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was just sad, awkward, and really confusing. Thicke's acting and character in this movie are so awkward that it's like really... Did that just make any sense? Who calls out to someone from across a room to discretely get their attention? And that last scene where he told her "You really need to think this through before leaving." was really controlling and I really thought that scene was going to end in him hurting her. Then there are a lot of questions by the end of the movie. Like did her husband ever find out about the affair? Did they end up having a baby? Did she open up her own restaurant or is she just the chef and she is back at work? Still really confused. Thicke's character also gave off that "stalk-y" vibe. Like really you just walked up behind me in a laundromat and are like trying to be all suave and cool? And the what does this mean lines. Don't get me started. Jaimie Pressley tries really hard to make this a good movie, but she can not carry that weight all by herself. Writing was awful. Some of the scenes were so awkward that it seemed very forced. I just didn't like it . Pressley did a good job and carried her character as best she could due to the writing. The mother character made no sense, the best friend was good. and Adams did an exceptional job with that. Runyan as that husband was great. If the script and movie was more put together and better produced and without Thicke, this would have been a great movie. Stick to your day job Thicke. Sorry the truth hurts. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member We are supposed to care about this woman's "tragic" accident and the horrible summer she spent while recovering, but there has never been a more unlikeable character as this one. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Robin Thicke acting debut! !! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is horrible! I can't believe that Pressly & Adams were a part if this project. Thicke' acting career is off to a bad start; hopefully he gets better from here. The director seems ok, but the subject matter and story line were not at all good. What a waste. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
