Storyline

Into the small law offices of unlucky-in-love Charlotte St. John stumbles a handsome stranger, bloodied and battered, suffering amnesia. The good Samaritan, she cares for him, nurses him to health ... and falls hard for this mysterious angel. He reciprocates -- and good love finally finds Charlotte. But not for long, for their brief love affair hits the rocks when his identity is uncovered. Together they learn to their heartbreaking disappointment that he's already married ... twice. That's right, he's an amnesiac who forgot his was a bigamist. Though initially crushed that her perfect hero is just another perfect schmuck, Charlotte soon agrees to defend him against the bigamy charges, arguing that his injury has wiped out his former personality. In mounting her defense, she investigates his past ... and discovers that his vengeful wives may have uncovered his dirty bigamist secret months before -- and secretly plotted his violent downfall!

User Reviews

I really liked this movie.

I am surprised at the negative feedback for this movie but then again, I am a big Lifetime movie fan. Ever since I had my son I spend much time watching juicy movies like this! Anyway, I enjoyed this movie. The humor was a little silly sometimes but it is not supposed to be a serious movie. I thought Molly Ringwald was so cute as the amnesiac's love interest. You couldn't help but like her! The movie did not get boring and I was interested to see what would happen. I have to say that the ending was great and totally surprised me. This movie is not a true to life movie and it is as believable as a pink giraffe, but so are most movies.

Entertaining, fun and the typical lifetime movie that you either love or hate. I loved! :o)
