I got an hour and thirteen minutes through this one and was dismayed at where it was going, so I jumped on here to read the reviews. Yep, it goes where I feared, so I decided to cut my losses and not finish.
I thought this was going to be like most of the Lifetime movies where there's a mystery and the bad actors get theirs in the end. I guess it's debatable if the unhappy wife was a bad actor (I mean in terms of character, not literal acting abilities). In my opinion, she was horrible and her actions were not justified in the least.
I felt so sorry for her poor husband--a hardworking doctor who obviously paid all of the bills--while she kept the house and engaged in hobbies like yoga and furniture design. She's angry with him because he had a vasectomy without her knowledge. Last I checked, a man can do what he wants with HIS body. If she decided to get her tubes tied after those two kids, there's no way anyone would agree that the husband could weigh in on the decision--telling her to have another baby because HE wanted one. Would anyone agree he has that right? So what is the difference? Then she gets mad again because he had to cancel a getway with her due to work. The nerve of him, working hard to further his career and take care of his family! Sheez. He really deserved better.
They already had two young daughters, a huge house etc. But his wife was not satisfied as she wanted another baby. Easy for her to want another kid when she would not have to foot the bill.

While Alyssa Milano is as watchable as ever -- she gives a committed performance -- and there are some other good performances here, the story is too unbelievable.
It's as if every character is ultimately able to override their human emotions (e.g. hurt following betrayal) and behave ultra-rationally; people just don't behave that way in real life.
Really, this is an unrealistic fairy tale in which the logical course of action prevails. It doesn't reflect real life.

Man I was not expecting this movie to make me cry but for some reason there was so much about this movie that touched me in my own personal life and Life Experiences. I will say that it had one of the best endings and I believe that most people don't get the ending. They can't see themselves being as friendly as everyone seems to be in the end but if more grown-ups could act like responsible lobing and caring adults maybe the world would be a lot better than it is today. We can model to our children that yes we're human and we make mistakes but things can be forgiven and choosing to love and care about others is so much more valuable.
Easy watching
Above the par of the normal afternoon movie
Isn't he a lucky guy she is gorgeous !!
Afternoon watching that won't give you a headache.

I didn't like the acting of the actors and very bad than the normal standards. The plot of the story needs a lot of the improvement especially the unrealistic concept in which logical course of action exist.

At first I was annoyed with this movie...but it kinda is realistic if you think about it just in reverse....think about how many times a man has cheated, had a baby-AND the wife stayed...love and relationships are tough and complicated. Communication and understanding is important for both parties. She shouldn't have cheated but he shouldn't have lied either. You never know what you'll do in a situation until you're in that position. Everyone has different breaking points with what they'll put up with...I personally don't think I could've stayed married. It takes mature adults to co parent in that type of situation as well.

Lower than lifetime standards and that's low. bad acting can't hide. Where do they get these losers.
Good acting (but the movie go so fast and anytime go easy in important moments) but this movie is beautiful, modern and show a story with realistic and interpretative mood, Alyssa and Zane are so hot and passionate togheter

This movie is bad on so many levels...
Unbelievable story, and unbelievable acting... Someone must have felt sorry for Alyssa Milano to cast her here... Terrible...

What a terrible acting. Milano is way below junior level of Hollywood. Hope she wasn't paid for it, but worth a penny. Maybe because she fundamentally disagrees with her character. But overall it was a waste of time

... yea, 5's about right... typical Lifetime programming from beginning to blatantly-predictable-ending... a film made to order for filling time slots... acting & production values are decent... plot & script foreseen to boredom.
I just...like every min.
Alyssa still beautiful and good actress. The story simple, but very enjoyable, could be an everyday story.
