I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

A Major Disappointment

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This is a very well made, well cast and well acted TV movie based on real life events. Very captivating as only a true story can be.Natasha Henstridge is very good if a little too beautiful. Brolin is very good as the silly whipped widow. The daughters were good too.The story is tragic yet happens over and over again. Quite heartbreaking for the family. Lonely widower remarries even before wife is cold in her grave. The central temptress Linda is so terribly wicked you just gasp throughout.Better than the usual lifetime movie. Top quality cast,You can check the subsequent outcome of the real life characters by googling it.

This was a very entertaining film shown on Lifetime and it kept my interest from beginning to end. There is good reason you might have guessed how the story ends, however, you could have been easily fooled. Natasha Henstridge (Linda Cavanaugh),"A Better Way to Die",2000, played a sweet and very sexy evil gal, who enjoyed herself in every way possible and was bound and determined to over power everyone she came into contact with. James Brolin,(Hank Cavanaugh),"Traffic",2000, gave a great performance in the romantic department and even in the funeral parlor, which I did not think was necessary at all. If you want to see romance and flirting in the church, barn and everywhere, this is the film for YOU.

This movie was entertaining and interesting. What makes the drama is the true to life story of it. It makes one wonder, guilty or not guilty? The casting of the movie fit well for this movie. Director Peter Svatek did a good job for a TV made movie. Natasha Henstridge does a wonderful portrayal of the widow, but I would expect no less of her. James Brolin is charming as usual and has always been a talented actor. Although the movie is a bit drawn out at times, it keeps moving along it's lines. Some scenes may not have been needed, however, it helps give one an idea of what Linda Cavanaugh may or may not have been like. All in all, the movie keeps your interest.

I started off being interested somewhat in the movie. It appeared it might be serious drama, dealing with death, grief, and healing, with some realistic human conflict thrown in. Alas, it didn't hold up.I need a movie with somewhat consistent and believable characters. Too many characters in this movie were portrayed as extremely gullible and inconsistent. Look, I know this was not supposed to be Shakespeare, but come on, I need some quality in script and characterization.The acting was alright, the writing not so much. At one point, James Brolin's character is berated for showing up at a picnic under-dressed. He states that ordering him around will not work. His new wife says that if he goes home and changes she will rip his clothes off later. That is a howler. This movie had a few unintentionally funny lines.It was hard to care about Jame's Brolin's character. When he so readily gave his first wife's things to his new wife, even allowing his daughter to be snubbed, I lost most of my sympathy. Who really cares what happens to him. I must confess that I did not finish the movie. If it did a 180 in quality in the last 45 minutes, let me know. It was just unpleasant to watch and so predictable I felt there was no need to finish it.
