Virtually every Lifetime movie includes scenes with women drinking wine. It's to the point where I sometimes wonder if some wine industry group is helping finance these movies so they include such scenes, just to promote wine. So why not an entire movie centered around wine?
It seems like a good idea, but the movie ended up like so many other Lifetime movies. That is to say, poorly executed with a quick ending that wraps everything up in an illogical package. Plus, anyone who didn't see the "mother who died in a car accident" subplot ending the way it did should be ashamed, if they have seen any other Lifetime movies. That was telegraphed early on, as soon as we found out she attended the same wine academy as our heroine does.
But the most inexplicable part of the movie was the use of the song "House of the Rising Sun" at the end. Considering what the song is about, it made absolutely no sense using it in the movie. Even if you don't know what the song is about, the lyrics did not fit anything remotely connected to the plot of the movie. That was just downright weird.
