Stuck in Love

What do you expect from a melodrama? Let’s be honest, usually we watch them because they are great tearjerkers. There are almost always a happy ending and in that moment most of us burst into tears.

This one is not so much different, but it doesn’t make this film bad. So, famous writer Bill Borgens is trying to get through hard period in his life. His wife Erica left him for a younger man. He is spying on her and her new life. He hasn’t written a word since their divorce and they have been apart for three years. He has a strange habit setting a place for her at the Thanksgiving table but she never comes.

Their children are also going through some difficulties. Samantha is in college trying to become a writer. She hates her mom because she left and cheated on her dad. Rusty fell in love with a girl who has a huge baggage of her own problems. But everything changes one year, on Thanksgiving, when Sam comes home with news that her book has been published. Family reconnects while dealing with problems.

“Stuck in love” is a great example of modern family life with its ups and downs. I like this film so much. The acting was perfect; all characters were live and vivid. If you don’t believe me just watch it yourself, and I guarantee you’ll like it.
