I know it is 2005 and many of you have probably already seen this movie, but it is my first time seeing it on Lifetime. I thought it was a pretty good movie until I begin to see what was really happening between Andie McDowell's character (Kate) and her friend, Anna Chancellor's character, (Molly). At first I thought Molly was just bitter against men because she had been in a number of crummy marriages, and while that may be part of the problem, the real truth of the matter is that she has a HUGE "crush" on Kate. This explains the lengths she goes through to keep any man away from Kate. Molly is a lesbian whose loyalties lie with women (which may explain the failures of her three marriages) and her lesbian tendencies come out at near the end of the movie when she kisses the other woman at the medics party. This confirmed for me what I had been suspecting all along that Molly was a gay character in this movie and she wanted Kate from the beginning. Molly is very domineering and controlling with her friend Janine in whom she has no sexual interest, but rather she uses Janine as pawn to help constantly interfere in and destroy Kate's relationships. Molly initiates the breakup of any love interest Kate may express in a man and being Kate's doctor, she also has access to Kate's body. The director was very clever in very subtly showing/hiding this lesbian aspect/triangle of the film, but lesbianism is the fantsy of most males, even directors. As we can see, love between women is not always a pretty or sexy sight.
score 5/10
