houseofmayhem I like to MST3K this movie. Drives my roomie crazy. She takes Lifetime movies seriously.Totally a guilty pleasure movie. Cheesy and funny. What makes it even better is imagining SD rehearsing her lines, actually taking the job seriously--"What's my motivation? What would Lorie do?" Wm. Devane is not my idea of a sexy sexy older man for a younger girl--Powers Boothe woulda been totally good in that role. Or Craig T. Nelson. Or Bruce Boxleitner. Or any other members of the Male Lead Pantheon of Planet Lifetime.The whole daughter thing near the end came out of nowhere. I've got way too much time on my hands.

edburtjr I just could not believe that Shannon Doherty or any young woman would carry on about William Devane. I know your lead to believe she had daddy issues, but I didn't get it. Maybe if she had a bunch or rats at her place like the movie 'Willard' I'd get it. The acting is decent enough though the love scenes were sort of gross. I liked William Devane in 'Marathon Man' & 'Testament', but come on now! Basically it's like like Fatal Attraction, or Play Misty For Me if you just make it young girl, older guy. The way she keeps trying and trying to win Devane's heart is all too much. I always liked Shannon from her Beverly Hills, 90210 days and felt the show sunk down when she left, I thought she'd make more of her career afterwords, but then again, who on that show did?

john My wife watches Lifetime constantly. I derided this movie when it came on, but the sight of shoulder pads on Shannen Dougherty's blazer made it impossible to look away. This file is a great fashion time capsule for the early 90s. There's also acid washed fabric, big earrings, granny boots, long sweater/leggings combo, and lots of teal and purple. Story's really predicable. The denouement scene where the boyfriend and the distant father meet could've had a flashing sign in the background that read "FATHER FIGURE COMPLEX." The scene where Shannen shows up drunk at Devane's house wearing only a trench coat (but somehow having perfectly styled big hair of the era) was hilarious.

Alyssa Sloane This plot line is totally unbelievable- who would actually fall for this guy? I am sorry that I wasted ANY time on this made for tv movie. The only movie that I have seen that is worse stars Susan Lucci, and she can't act her way out of a paperbag, so that isn't saying much (French Silk). Anyway, DON"T see this.
