I started watching this movie because I was curious about how trite and formulaic it could get. While it IS trite and formulaic, it's not as bad as I expected. There was the "Great Denial" scene, the "I Don't Belong In Treatment" scene, and the "Family Confrontation" scene, as well as the character that we all root for who doesn't make it. While there is the standard "Happy Ending", there are a few unexpected bumps. All is not "Happily Ever After". After years of supporting a drunk wife 'for the sake of the kids' the husband admits he has found someone else. But, our heroine prevails, and stays sober. Not a great movie, but all in all, not too bad.

Hard Hitting Drama

I revisited this movie the other night after years. Kate was a woman who nearly lost her family after her dramatic and and drunken scene at the restaurant and then forced into Rehab for her addiction. The highlight of the movie for me was when she was confronted in group therapy about her drunken behaviour and began to accept her alcoholism and came out the other side. A nice little movie and Donna Mills played a great role in it.
