This is obviously some kind of joke. This is one of the worst Lifetime movies ever produced. Someone owed Donald a huge favor, bc that's the ONLY way this was made.
The acting is HORRIBLE. The girl who plays Ivana/Katrinka is really bad & overacts like a champ. Stephen Collins is playing Donnie/Adam as entitled/pompous/God's gift to business/women equals very wooden/stiff. They do try and make this watchable, but it's just not possible with what they're working with.
I can say they're using Soap Opera techniques to draw the audience in, such as speaking in hushed tones, so you have to pay attention to everything they're saying to keep up/follow along with the conversation.
This movie keeps pushing the money/wealth and "success" of Adam at us, as if that's supposed to endear him to the audience. Spoiler alert: It doesn't.
These 2 actors have ZERO CHEMISTRY together and it's incredibly painful to watch the "love" and sex scenes.
The majority of this stink bomb is 2 fold. First She spends her time looking for her son that she gave up (but really didn't want to), and then she's sucking up to her husband, telling him how wonderful he is all the time (blah, blah, blah). Me thinks Donnie had script approval. 🤣
I originally put this tv movie on because Madelyn Khan was listed as a character. Her talents are wasted in this flop. She plays a Hedda Hopper style gossip writer. I hope she was paid well for her 3 minutes in this snoozefest.
Ivana makes an appearance for about a minute, as a socialite who gives Katrinka directions on the Streets of NYC. *as if 👀*
Katrinka starts to take the blame for her divorce, until Adam cheats on her (with a Princess that Katrinka helped smuggle out of some Arabic country she & her son were oppressed in, or so she thought).
Katrinka wins everything and has the big Hollywood ending. It's all drivel.
This is mostly a work of fiction and there's some areas of the movie that you can tell are loosely based on Ivana's life.
Save yourself the 2 hours of your life and watch something else.
