I am not sure this will be a spoiler, but I'll take no chances. Though I won't give the ending away, what I'll say about the movie might indirectly allude to it.
Lots of people dislike this movie - judging from the comments here. I saw it with an innocent eye. That is, I had no idea how others have reacted to it. Now that I have seen lots of very negative reviews, let me say this: Most of the negative reviews I have seen seem to miss the main point of the story, which is that "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." This proverbial truism comes from a play by William Congreve, "The Mourning Bride" (1697), where we read this: "Heaven has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turned, / Nor Hell a Fury, like woman scorned." Janet (Jordan Ladd) adds another dimension to the story. She is a kind of Female Quixote. She has read too many romances. And her fantasies take over completely. Would things have turned out in a different way had her lover married her? She seems to take the rejection in stride. Or does she? I'll let my comments about the story end there. I will only add this, Jordan Ladd does a fantastic job with with this role. She is worthy of both her mother, Cheryl Ladd, and her grandfather, Alan Ladd.
I guess I am in the minority for liking this movie. But I think I have good reason for this: an interesting theme goes a long way with me.
