Recipe for Revenge (1998 TV Movie)
7/10
Made me smile

Warning: Spoilers
A charming watchable romance despite its plot flaws. The main one of those comes near the end when the neighbour kidnaps the girl. Why, I asked myself, as I mentally shook my head, having enjoyed the film to that point? Motive? He's a neighbour who goes in any time he wants already. How is kidnapping and putting her in the loft ever gonna work! Too much plot writing to formula - the story already worked without this predictable twist.

And the murder mystery had a tad too much farce about it in the directing. But I'm nit picking - never mind those. The film is principally a romance and it comes up trumps for a change. Two devilishly attractive people forced together by serendipity slowly fall in love. Real character development... Charming, wonderful stuff.
