    This is escapism, pure and simple. And few know the power of such purity better than Terry McMillan.
  2. 60
    A glossy, attractive, ultimately empty soap opera that -- despite being based on a true story -- never seems remotely plausible.
  3. 60
    This lushly produced, lightweight romance embraces every cliche of the genre without so much as an ironic shrug.
