I am an avid movie watcher, but not an avid movie reviewer. I saw this film on Lifetime Network and, as I do all films I watch, I looked it up on IMDb. I was very surprised to see some of the negative reviews! I thoroughly enjoyed this film. That is why I am reviewing it. I thought this film was 10x better than some of my fellow reviewers thought, and I want to encourage others to watch this great film!! I truly enjoyed it, and I am sure that many others enjoyed it as well!

First of all, I loved Elizabeth Rohn in this film. She was fantastic in American Hustle and I've been hooked on her ever since. I didn't immediately recognize her in this, but she is great and always delivers a stellar performance. This movie is slow at the beginning, but that is typical of Lifetime Network's films. However, unlike many Lifetime films, Seduced has many character scenes that are so well done and feel very real and authentic. **SPOILER ALERT!!** I about died watching the scene where Caroline is laying in bed thinking about her dead husband... talk about tear jerker! I am not usually one to get emotional during films, but that scene felt so genuine that I was moved to tears! Kudos to the cast and production team -- very artistic and authentic work.

The script was not the greatest, but that is pretty typical of Lifetime films. This film is on Lifetime Network, which means that it is such a guilty pleasure of mine! It looks like a higher budget film. I loved the way they portrayed Venice so well! I felt like I was really there!

I really do not understand why some of these reviews are so negative! This film had everything you could want in a Lifetime film -- love, scandal, death, drama, and characters and moments that you can relate to! I thought this film really stood out in a positive way. All in all, beautiful and well done film.
