Troubles (1988)
4/10
Not good, but not bad either

I do agree with the previous reviewer, this movie really can't decide what it wants to be. But since they've already covered that, I'll say that this movie is almost like a soap opera, but packed into a few hours. It has the definite "made for TV" feel to it, but it's not all bad.

This movie can grow on you, but it takes a couple times watching it to really understand what's going on. Once you finally get the basic plot (and believe me, while your watching it it feels like there IS no plot) but it does grow on you, and when it does it is a kind of cute movie.

Another note that I feel compelled to say is that, if you're watching it simply to get your Sean Bean fix, be prepared to watch another movie as well, he makes very few appearances in this, and mostly in the second half.

This movie is very good for watching on a rainy day, when you've got nothing to do, but I don't recommend it when you're trying to get something done, as it is, with almost all made for TV movies, the kind of movie that seems to last forever. And I know this review was very random, and slightly rambling, but these are just a little jumble of my personal thoughts on the movie.
