The indie version of a Harlequin romance

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 20, 2008

If Adrian Lyne directed a racy Lifetime movie, then asked Danielle Steel what to call it, you'd pretty much have Never Forever, a sudsy chamber piece that's engrossing despite its many plot holes and contrivances.

It's like a Lana Turner vehicle that's too meek to be Last Tango in Chinatown.
