I could not get all the way through this movie. The way she stalked him made me so uncomfortable I had to stop. I was only able to get up to their first interaction.
I love Ricki Lake so much and it was hard for me to see her in this type of role.
I do love the way she so bravely went after what she wanted but it was the way she did it that bothered me. The spying on him and continuing to pursue him with romantic intentions when she knew he was attached.
I think the writers could have improved the film if they had let her continue to go after him but because she wanted to get to know him as a person. Instead they focus on her getting a new mattress and silk sheets. I has to be a trade off: keep the overt sexual intentions or the fiancé, maybe trade in a disapproving parent.
I'll try to finish it one day but only because I feel all the good reviews mean it has to be worth it in the end. I have seen this type of movie before and seeing the cast I was hoping for better.
