Not me. I just saw this on TV, and it was dreadful. Charles Shaunnessey tries to disguise his English accent with an "American" accent, and the results are awful. The plot just went in all different directions, including a bit with his daughter's third, brunette roommate -- what was up with that? This film should not come out on DVD -- save the DVD format for quality stuff (or quality, "bad" stuff, like William Castle films).

Oh take it for what it's worth - a guilty pleasure - as are all lifetime movies... who cares about the acting, the stories are always so much fun!

It's okay but I really prefer films like Band of Brothers, Schindler's List, Gladiator, etc.

Then what are you doing on a message board for a kiss so deadly?

"Then what are you doing on a message board for a kiss so deadly?" No kidding. I like this movie for the simple fact that Charles Shaughnessy was playing the polar opposite of his "Mr. Sheffield" character from The Nanny.

Think about it: This subplot about June becoming infatuated with a handsome older man -- Tom Deese -- was added to contrast with Amanda's relationship with Deese. Modest and winsome June was crazy about having a relationship with Deese while slutty Amanda just wanted a casual fling. June saw the sun, moon and stars while Amanda saw a roll in the sack. Moreover, June's growing obsession with Deese was akin to Deese' obsession with Amanda.

This subplot revealed clever scripting that wasn't one-dimensional.

Really? I was born, raised and live in America and I didn't even notice, obviously because the story was so compelling and he nailed the role.

I recorded this movie when it came out on Lifetime, I enjoy it, I like Charles Schaughnessy and Charlotte Ross. The funny thing is that they played father and daughter on Days of Our Lives back in the 80's - Shane and Eve Donovan.
I watch this movie occasionally, it's not up there with some movies but it's worth watching. It's something that can really happen, especially if you get a roomate like Amanda.

Yeah, it's pretty entertaining. Take it for what it is.

I think it's a great depiction of obsession.
