admittedly and i tune into this in the hope of see some beefcake shot of james brolin . unfortunately and there be only one and early on and and the rest of the movie be very tame and and ultimately make little sense . the story and what there be of it and center on nick and julie atkins and a couple whose marriage of many year be begin to grow stale . nick and a successful businessman be focus on work to the point of neglect julie and who try to fill the void by go back to school . julie longing for the passion that she and nick have early in their marriage begin to take shape in the form of powerful sexual fantasy which block out reality for minute at a time and cause her to do thing like burn breakfast and misplace her husband paper . at first she fantasize about her husband and but a the movie progress and she begin to fantasize about other men and and about encounter with random stranger whom she meet . this culminate in her act out her fantasy with disastrous consequence for her marriage . can she and her husband rebuild their relationship . be it worth save . this could have be an interesting premise and but the execution be so bland that you wonder why they even bother . character aren not develop . motif aren not explain . background information isn not give . no exploration be make of how julie get to the point where she couldn not control herself and and no explanation be offer a to how she will do so in the future . the end product be a muddled mess which be just as confuse a julie fantasy and which be surprisingly underdeveloped . the acting be a mixed bag . donna mill a julie do well with the material she be give and although her continual self pity do become strident after awhile . james brolin act a though he be read his line from cue card and and even his anger over his wife infidelity be hard to buy into and he show so little passion over the whole issue . the support role be mostly forgettable . disappointing treatment of what could have be an interesting story . more the pity and since it doesn not even offer the eye candy it promise .
