The majority of these Lifetime "Made for TV" movies can be placed into two broad categories, for those involving the trials and tribulations of the adult lead(s): the actor/actress is menaced by somebody or some evil organization or group, and the story reveals these, usually in multiple crises at every turn, until resolved one way or another in the last 5 or 10 minutes; or, the story has the hero, or heroine (usually the latter) duped by a spouse, lover, or someone else who appears on the scene. In these instances, sometimes with murder or physical harm threatened during the proceedings, sometimes not, again the crises are resolved in the last minutes of the story. There is another aspect to these movies: you can usually see the big "revelation" coming, occasionally not. Here the former is the case.

In this movie, Molly Ringwald has a bit more impressive "large screen resumé" than most of the female leads. And in this story, Molly is not threatened physically, but you know that this man who entered her life is not simply destined at the conclusion to begin visiting real estate brokers with her, to find a vine-covered cottage with a picket fence.

Still, the actors are engaging, and this movie rates a 6 or 7 (mark it the higher). Depending on you other alternatives for an afternoon or evening, if you don't have an alternative program on t.v., or other activity, within the 8 - 10 range, give it a look.
