Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

phd_travel 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.

edwagreen When a man loses his wife in Florida, all the widows run with chicken soup to catch the new widower.Natasha Henstridge plays a 3 time divorcée who becomes a nurse and goes to work in a hospice like atmosphere at the home of James Brolin's dying wife.The wife complies by dying shortly and romance soon blooms between Henstridge and the "grief" stricken widower. Naturally, the town gossips have a field day with this. Their talk will not be long as the two wed.Henstridge has plenty on her mind and plate for that matter. She has affairs with ranch hands as she mocks the institution of marriage-full throttle.Of course, she has to contend with an alcoholic step-daughter and a recently wed step-daughter. The former really is on to Linda (Henstridge) but is powerless to act.When Brolin (Cavanaugh) dies suddenly, Linda wants to cremate him. We all know what that means. A natural demise did not come to the real-life husband of Barbra Streisand!While the story is predictable, the ending really isn't but there is some good acting by the entire cast.No wonder everyone raises an eye-brow when a widower remarries so quickly!

montysmith-slp Stunning blonde Natasha Henstridge is the young, not-so-grieving widow in the mansion on the hill, telling her story to a TV reporter in Monroeville, Virginia. And among the community's well-heeled horsey-set, she's suspected of involvement in the death of her older husband. That's James Brolin, trusting as a babe-in-arms. Flashback teledrama made in Canada, based on an article that appeared in Vanity Fair magazine. It must be true! Whatever, it's far more romance than mystery, and a very familiar tale. Leggy Species star Henstridge as a gold-digging hospice nurse? It could happen, I guess. And it's good to see Brolin in a sizeable role after his titchy turn in Antwone Fisher, even if he doesn't make it to the end of the picture. The end of the picture? He doesn't even make it to the beginning of the picture. Which is why flashbacks were invented, of course.

deluxacco 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.
