Another Woman

I was cleaning my workroom this afternoon, and the movie I had put on finished, and "Another Woman" came on. Not usually watching TV movies, I thought of changing channels, but I was busy. Imagine my surprise when I realized that, for a Harlequin movie, it was well-scripted and the cast quite good. Justine Bateman and Peter Outerbridge play the main characters without descending into syrupiness and Amy Stewart was very good as the teenager who has been hurt and strikes back without being bratty. The supporting cast manages to support well and avoid being bland. Of course, we all know they will live happily-ever-after. I mean, it is based on a Harlequin novel. Still, the script was well-written and the characters well-developed. What's that, you say? The medical information was not accurate? Not to worry. This is an escapism movie, not a medical school biology class. Grab the pop corn, a comfy pillow, and kick back for a relaxing few hours.
