As a fan of 'Charmed', I was looking forward to this movie of 2001. Having seen Shannen Doherty in other TV films, I think she can hold the lead role in a film as well as she does her character in the 'Charmed' TV series. But sadly, this particular movie was not worth the wait.There were too many slow-moving elegiac scenes of rivers and skies, and not enough momentum in the story. I feel I wasted 2 hours of my life watching this film, when in fact the movie could easily have been cut by half an hour. A bit of tightening of the script, cutting irrelevant scenes, and building up the back-story of the characters, all might have done the trick. As it was, the script was poor, the tone of the film was wishy-washy, the plot lacked structure, and the characters had no depth. Shannen Doherty was totally wasted.I love Julian McMahon, but he was also wasted as an actor; though he did look delicious, which at least gave the film a little enjoyment! The movie was clearly just a vehicle for the two actors, fresh from 'Charmed'. But the script/director/production relied upon that factor to keep the viewers entranced. In fact viewers need a little more 'oomph' to a film, to keep us truly interested in the plot, than just a pretty couple wandering about in lovely scenery .Only if you want to see McMahon & Doherty at the height of their 'Charmed' fame - for a pretty-pretty sight! - should you bother with this sadly disappointing film.~ by SceneByScene ~

OK some at least one of the summers on here is wrong. The person says the move keeps going to and from the past in between the story. No it never does that but twice. Let me also say that he was not her husband at the beginning her was her boyfriend her friend on the phone after the boyfriend dies tells someone on th phone when they call her boyfriend just died. There is a part where he may or may not be her husband after she goes back. But it is never clear as to rather or not they got married. Also the move is so not confusing if you watch its very simple. The actors are good. I felt like there could have been more to the story and there are some loop holes in th e plot. But for a made for t.v movie it was nice and charming.

It was a lovely story, I think, but I was confused a good bit of the time. I wondered if the movie started before I started watching but was nearly sure it didn't. The actors and Shannon were talented in this role. She is beautiful. I pretty much caught on to the story before the end but was busy trying to figure it out the whole time. I did search it out on-line and found the IMDb website which I found very helpful in clarifying my confusion when I was able to read comments from others and find that others were also in varying degrees of confusion. I didn't choose the movie but when I overstayed the previous one on Lifetime I could not go on about my planned activity for the afternoon because I was "hooked" into it very quickly. It was a good exercise for my sometimes lazy brain.

Any film that Shannen Doherty appears in usually is outstanding, and she gave a fantastic job of acting through out the entire picture. Doherty played the part of Kate, who lived with a guy named Paul and was deeply in love with him. There is an accident which occurs to Kate and from then on the entire picture is made up of constant flashbacks, almost to the very end of the picture. There was a point during the picture that I was beginning to feel like the story was repeating itself over and over again. As the story unfolded, it became quite an interesting story, but WAY OUT in Left Field. The romance that Kate has with two guys is quite interesting and Kate sure looked hot and sexy attracting for the poor two guys.
