Valerie Bertinelli, very watchable

Valerie Bertinelli is young, married and bored. Her husband is working monster hours doing his medical internship, and has little time for her. On a whim, she goes up to Lake Tahoe with a couple of college friends. Finding excitement at the tables, she soon gets in over her head in gambling debts and spins lie after lie to her husband and family as she depletes her savings and trust........and in a fit of despair and hopelessness, beds a casino exec. who she befriended. This is a made for tv movie, so don't expect major character development, and yes it's a bit convenient. Overall,though it's an easy watch if you like Valerie Bertinelli. If you don't, then you probably wouldn't be watching it to begin with.

The seduction of Gina

Valerie Bertinelli stars as a young wife who feels abandoned by her hard working husband. After going to Lake Tahoe with some friends, Gina becomes hooked on gambling. Her husband doesn't notice anything is wrong at first, but then realizes that Gina isn't staying home at night. Gina becomes so wrapped up in gambling that she inevitably gets into financial trouble. There are other seductions at play as well. Valerie Bertinelli is good as is the rest of the cast, although the film does suffer from cliches of 1980s made for television films, most notably the score, which is a little ridiculous. I did notice that Eddie Van Halen, Bertinelli's husband at the time, contributed to the score. Overall, this isn't a great film, but it isn't terrible either. I would say it's a typical 1980s made for television movie.
