Better than I expected. (spoilers), 31. Dezember 2004

Author: Pepper Anne von Orlando, Florida

A previous viewer was right, don't expect to see much of Ken Olin in this film, as, given the time period, it was obvious that his name was a vehicle for the movie while others (as familiar as their faces may be) were rather obscure male actors (and some female ones, too) who gained greater notoriety, for the most part, as the years went on.

This is one of those movies with assorted male and female characters passing the time trying to figure out that one thing: love. And whether or not they want any part of it. Actually, it is less about discovering 'love' and more about the cliché of 'what women want' or 'what men want.' So this is a story similar to movies like 'The Big Chill' or 'Queens Logic,' and others, except that it is done a little better, a little more subtle, and through the course of one night at a club.

I particularly like the chemistry between the middle-age couple, founded after a guy finds out that he frequented the same bar as his daughter, and appropriately, could be more paternal once he met a woman there about his age and hits it off well. Robert Rusler, whom I rented the movie to see, plays something of an office geek by day, but stunning gentleman by night, as he realizes that the bar his buddies took him to was also frequented by a woman from the office that he really likes. Of course, none of these movies would be complete without the super-chauvinist over-achiever, this one playing Ken Olin's brother, the guy who can't figure out why, since he is only cheating on women and refuses any sort of commitment (probably even second or third dates if he's tired of them), he can't seem to get a steady girlfriend.

This made-for-TV movie is a nice mix of characters and a good little story with a few laughs. Don't believe the plot synopsis from IMDb, however, there is nothing much "erotic" about it.

Don't look for much of Ken Olin, but an okay film otherwise, 13. Juli 2004
Author: Amy Adler von Toledo, Ohio

Henry (Ken Olin) owns a bar that is considered a hot spot for those in the know. Naturally, younger AND older men and women frequent the bar, hoping to meet that dazzling someone. Among those who are on the prowl are a divorced airline pilot, a businessman with a live-in girlfriend, a female executive who breaks hearts with panache, a younger brunette with a gold digger complex and more. How will the chips of romance fall?

This is yet another film for those who enjoy the endless quest for true love. The players here are both attractive and unattractive, humorous and boring, kind and ruthless, etc. Ken Olin has a very minor role and is not in the hunt for romance at all. Instead, Robert Rusler steals the show as an attractive yuppie with a crush on an older woman. Also adorable is the blonde, married man who is a complete klutz on his first attempt at infidelity. Overall, however, the film is just average in most respects. Romance junkies will enjoy it. All others may want to tune into something else.

A pleasant surprise, 21. Juli 2000
Author: timoteob von Woodland Hills, California

I ran into this one during a bonus showing of the Romance Channel,and it hooked me well enough that I watched it all the way through. I honestly don't remember a lot of the details of the story, only that the acting was good, the writing well above average for a TV movie. This was better than 90% of all made for TV films. I would watch it again if I ran into a showing. I'm sure its pretty much gone unnoticed and under-appreciated.
