VHS Movie Reviews of Reckless: The Sequel
Movie Review: If you've ever dreamed about being swept off your feet ...
Summary: 5 Stars
For a thinking (and older) woman, this is IT. It's a hilarious plot based on a very sound and subtle understanding of the choices you may have made at times in your life when you didn't have the confidence to ask yourself, "What is it that really makes me happy?" -- and what it takes to come back to those choices. The show is brilliantly and meticulously cast, from the principals to the minor roles. There are some shows that make you feel like you actually "lived" them -- that you got into one of the lives in the show and actually felt the emotions the characters are working though -- this is one of them.
Summary of Reckless: The Sequel
What's not to like about this follow-up to the touching and hilarious Reckless? That made-for-TV film from Britain's Granada Television concerned the unlikely but quite real love affair between Owen Springer (Robson Green), a mid-30s surgeon who embraces his working-class roots, and Anna Crane (Francesca Annis), the late-40s estranged wife of Richard Crane (Michael Kitchen), a prominent doctor and administrator in the hospital where Owen works. No ordinary medical soap opera, Reckless was a comedy alternately subtle and unabashed, with a wonderful cast, a crisp and smart script, and a lively direction that made ER look stiff and contrived. This 1998 sequel picks up the saga, with Owen and the newly divorced Anna happily living together in frequently carnal bliss and awaiting an imminent appointment at the altar. Richard, in emotional self-exile in Iceland, crosses glacier and fjord to get back to London in time to throw a wrench (or two or three) in their plans. What ensues is near chaos, dirty tricks, and crossed alliances from sundry family members and friends, which puts a terrible pressure on the couple and their unspoken fears. Smart, sophisticated, and sexy, this fine work doesn't slow down for a minute. --Tom KeoghArt House & International VHS Video
