An unusual believable interesting movie!

The more I see of Laura San Giancomo, the more I like her. She was excellent in "Pretty Woman" and her presence was powerful. I'm sure her real personality comes through when she acts. All of the actors were excellent in this movie, and believable. Wouldn't married life be more fun if we could throw away the boring side, and create new characters every now and then? Instead of a husband going out to create a fantasy, it's all there under his own roof. Be who you want to be at any time, not just on Halloween :-) although it would probably be considered an abnormal state of affairs ... then again, from what we see today at the movies or on TV, maybe it would be accepted. For sure, watching this movie would make you want to try when you see the end results. I enjoyed every minute of it. The TV guide only had two and a half stars against it. I would have given it four!!!

Nicely filmed, good performances, but the story is meh

This is a quiet, scenic film set in the mellow San Francisco of the early 90's, with a pair of convincing & attractive lead actors. You could almost enjoy watching it on that basis alone. The story unfolds slowly as Nina meets and begins hooking up with her new lover while her husband is away. The movie does get downright sluggish in parts, and there's surprisingly little drama considering the subject matter. This film isn't really an exploration of the thorniness of extramarital affairs - for that you can watch "Unfaithful." Still, there's some food for thought, as well as a few really touching scenes. San Giacomo and Rhys are both good actors and manage to keep things interesting.
