a soap opera turned into a feature film

Rating: 6/10 (17 November 2006)

I'm not sure why this movie has gotten a lot of really good reviews. It was just fair. The plot comes right out of any daytime soap opera. A guy, Chris, starts dating a rich chick. He also likes her brother's finance,Nola, becomes obsessed with her. Nola breaks it off with the boyfriend and leaves town. Since Chris doesn't think he has a shot with Nola, he goes ahead and marries the other girl. He gets a nice job offer from her father and becomes content. But, then he runs into Nola again and starts an affair. It is the classic of husband telling mistress he will leave his wife nearly every day but never does. But Chris turns out to be smarter in the end than I thought he was. I thought he would never get away with it.
But the whole plot was just too unoriginal. It wasn't worth being made into a feature film. Plus I didn't think the acting was anything special.
FINAL VERDICT: OK, nothing to go out of your way to see.
