Too much of everything

Fantastic!

A Disappointing Continuation

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I am surprised at the negative feedback for this movie but then again, I am a big Lifetime movie fan. Ever since I had my son I spend much time watching juicy movies like this! Anyway, I enjoyed this movie. The humor was a little silly sometimes but it is not supposed to be a serious movie. I thought Molly Ringwald was so cute as the amnesiac's love interest. You couldn't help but like her! The movie did not get boring and I was interested to see what would happen. I have to say that the ending was great and totally surprised me. This movie is not a true to life movie and it is as believable as a pink giraffe, but so are most movies. Entertaining, fun and the typical lifetime movie that you either love or hate. I loved! :o)

Molly Ringwald is what makes The Wives He Forgot worth viewing. Had she not been cast as the lead I doubt it would have worked nearly as well. In summary: Ringwald is Charlotte, a heartbroken single attorney who is disappointed with the men she has dated. Literally one second after proclaiming she will find a decent man someday, a stranger, Gabriel (Mark Humphrey), storms into her office. Heralding him a hero, Charlotte believes she has finally found the perfect man. There are complications, though, as Gabriel has amnesia and has no idea who he is or where he has been.As I stated, Ringwald is the glue that keeps this film from falling flat. Her acting skills are top notch and it shows. The film picks up in the second half and has some clever plot twists and a competent ending. The dialogue is sometimes intelligent and entertaining. I will say there are occasions where this movie comes off as too watered-down and silly. But, on the whole, it is fun and creative and I would watch it again. 7/10

Have not seen Molly Ringwald,(Charlotte) in a very long time and enjoyed seeing her large brown eyes and the sparkle she always had with her personality and those expressions on her face. Charlotte plays a lawyer who has a very bad time trying to find her Soul Mate in life and gets dumped quite often. However, Mark Humphrey, (Gabriel) manages to drop into her life and things really start to change, except that Gabriel cannot remember a thing after an accident. This is really a comedy through out most of the picture and then it turns into a drama, and you begin to wonder just how this TV film is going to end. The ending will surprise you and all the actors in the film gave an outstanding performance. Great seeing Molly back on the Big Silver Screen where she belongs, what a talent.

The majority of these Lifetime "Made for TV" movies can be placed into two broad categories, for those involving the trials and tribulations of the adult lead(s): the actor/actress is menaced by somebody or some evil organization or group, and the story reveals these, usually in multiple crises at every turn, until resolved one way or another in the last 5 or 10 minutes; or, the story has the hero, or heroine (usually the latter) duped by a spouse, lover, or someone else who appears on the scene. In these instances, sometimes with murder or physical harm threatened during the proceedings, sometimes not, again the crises are resolved in the last minutes of the story. There is another aspect to these movies: you can usually see the big "revelation" coming, occasionally not. Here the former is the case.In this movie, Molly Ringwald has a bit more impressive "large screen resumé" than most of the female leads. And in this story, Molly is not threatened physically, but you know that this man who entered her life is not simply destined at the conclusion to begin visiting real estate brokers with her, to find a vine-covered cottage with a picket fence. Still, the actors are engaging, and this movie rates a 6 or 7 (mark it the higher). Depending on you other alternatives for an afternoon or evening, if you don't have an alternative program on t.v., or other activity, within the 8 - 10 range, give it a look.
