I FOUND THIS FILM TO BE OKAY.A BORED WOMAN DECIDES TO TAKE A TRIP TO GREECE,AND ENDS UP WITH MORE THAN SHE BARGAINED FOR.SHE GRABS THE ATTENTION OF A MAN,AND GOES FOR IT.SHE GETS SO SWEPT UP IN THE ROMANCE AND THE SURROUNDINGS.WHEN SHE GETS BACK HOME TO HER DULL LIFE,SHE DECIDES IT IS NOT FOR HER.I DID LIKE THIS FILM BECAUSE IT HAPPENS TO SO MANY WOMEN WHO GET CARRIED AWAY WITH HOLIDAY ROMANCES.I THINK IT PORTRAITS A GOOD LESSON FOR WOMEN WHO FEEL THAT A HOLIDAY ROMANCE IS FOR REAL.MY ADVICE IS,CHECK OUT THIS ONE.YOU WILL GET SOME REALITY CHECKS.I WOULD GLADLY WATCH IT AGAIN.A MUST FOR ALL OF YOU BORED WOMEN WHO ARE THINKING OF JETTING OFF TO WARMER,MORE SEDUCTIVE CLIMATES.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
