Crazy in Love

Crazy in Love (1992)(TV)...Mark Constable

Plot Synopsis: Georgie shares her ancestral island home with her mother, grandmother, sister and husband. Each day, her husband flies from the island to the city to his job and Georgie tends to her day-to-day life. When a handsome photographer enters the scene and devotes his full attention to Georgie, her routine life is suddenly topsy-turvy. Julian plays (appropriately) the handsome and distracting photographer who tempts married Holly Hunter.

Yes, it IS a shame I'm married, Mark...

Review: This film is more about family, and mothers and daughters in particular, than it is about love. But being "crazy in love" is the whole reason the plot comes together, as Julian's photographer character falls for the married Georgie, and she's left to wonder whether she should consider leaving her disinterested husband for a fling with the handsome stranger. She's also got to consider what impact her decision would have on her tight-knit family, with her mother, sister and grandmother all living together with her family on their own little island, just like the women of her family have for generations. It's a sweet little film, focusing more on the family than on Georgie or Mark being "crazy in love", but it's easy to see how she'd start to reevaluate her life when the handsome photographer suddenly comes into it and gives her a chance to consider what her life might be like if she decided to give life with him a try instead. The writing is excellent, touching without being sickly sweet. The film's well-done in general. A good time, with an easy call to select sweet, sensitive and handsome Julian as the temptation any woman might fall for.3-1/2 stars
