there were so many twist in the plot, very original. Truly unpredictable at times. I'd watch it again even though I know what's happening.

Saw this one when it first came out on video in 1999. Great movie then and a great movie to this day.

I actually saw this move when it was first released on a date at a theatre! Meg Tilly is the epitome of class in this film. Good story- very entertaining. Happy to see it on Hulu!

Love the movie, Rob Lowe is so fine. The movie unlike one of the reviews has a great unexpected twist. I rate this movie a 5, even though I didn't care for the female character, she was too withered and drab.

Can't beat Kim Katrell being naked five minutes into the movie either!

I enjoyed watching this movie, it most definately took me into the life of the most fortunate people, and it was nice to see that even in the end, love can be real. There were many surprises in the plot and that was good. I also thought the leading lady was very unique and eyecatching. I enjoyed this movie overall.

A nice enjoyable, though pretty ordinary and obvious movie. I figured out the so-called "plot twists" in the first 10 minutes. But that's okay. I thought Rob Lowe was lovely, with a depth and earnestness that he doesn't show at this level so often. But the main thing I felt was just the utter lovliness of Meg Tilly. She is such an unusual, ethereal, pure beauty, so different from the vast majority of hollywood actresses, even the very attractive ones.
She has a presence on the screen that comes across as so deeply genuine and vulnerable -- it's hard to even remember that she's a terrific actor, to me it always appears that one is seeing her real heart shining through that luminous skin. She really is moving, and even in a very ordinary, romantic movie like this, she stands out as if she's from another realm, one where people are completely genuine. To my mind, she never strikes a false note. I used to teach film (in 2 different universities), and I worked hard to guide students to see beyond acting and movie stars, to learn to see film as skilled artifice, to see it as a visual medium, producing a highly codified version of "reality." I encouraged students to learn to see shots, cuts, framing, editing -- the very difficult and precise skill of the director -- rather than just thoughtlessly turning over their conscious minds to the actors alone. But a movie like this (no particular skill in the direction if you ask me....wait, did you ask me??), really reminds me of how lovely a good actor can be. Good, genuine acting -- when an actor is really able to behave so honestly and openly in the presence of the camera -- is actually quite powerful, and can not just "carry you away," but affect your emotions about your own life. Ha. I'll bet this all seems ridiculously obvious to most of you viewers! Just goes to show how obtuse us intellectual, analytical types can be sometimes! So anyway, Meg is deeply beautiful, genuine and honest. And those were some of the most beautiful sex scenes I've ever seen. Definitely a good watch.
