This was the first of the videos that started a trend of sex education videos in the early 1990s . I guess the idea behind it was for liberated women to go into a high street store and buy it without any type of guilt or inhibition , but no doubt the main buyer market was teenage boys and dirty old men
THE LOVERS GUIDE is groundbreaking in the fact that it publicised that the couples involved were real life partners but this is slightly dishonest , yes the main couple featured Wendy and her husband were indeed a real life couple who'd been married several years but there was some public controversy that at least one of the couples Kathryn ( The gorgeous brunette ) and Marino ( The well buffed geezer with a ponytail ) had never met one another until they appeared on set where they had unprotected sex for the camera . For a video that self righteously dedicates segments to safe sex it is rather hypocritical
Seeing as it's for education purposes and not pornography as such there's limits as to what can be shown but as a sex education video it's not uninformative though I doubt if you'll be gasping " I never knew that "
As a footnote the main couple featured became something of sexual problem agony aunts in the British press - Until it was revealed that Wendy's husband had a serious heart condition which put a stop to sex . I almost felt sorry for this couple who confessed that they used to make love as often as ten times a day but now couldn't make love once a day because it was too dangerous . My small amount of sympathy soon vanished when shortly afterwards the couple split up and raced off to the gutter press in order to dish the dirt on one another to the highest bidder .
桑婶被高票评选的片子其实每次我都不太喜欢，这次高分纯粹是因为她真的演得好。我以为是大团圆的he，结果每一分钟都比上一分钟让我悲伤，也不知道为什么新年第一天就要看这么个致郁的………单她真的可以再拿一次奖
好棒！题材和演技都非常好。大家都有自己的桎梏，只有和自己和解，才能安心地活下去。
桑德拉布洛克演技绝对是顶天的，但是讲故事方法真的莫名其妙。PS：Jessica是不是光屁股了？
简单的坚强，简单的语言，才能讲好悲伤的故事。
非常简单直线的剧情，却被导演调度得大气磅礴，感人至深，又成为桑德拉的一部代表作。
苦情，不过是在亲情上。桑德拉演技是好的，心近如死灰，受尽屈辱和摧残，忍辱负重的样子还是很有说服力的。就是剧情本身的基点，如果当时不去顶罪，以妹妹的年龄根本无须承担多少责任，本来就是一个意外，隐姓埋名，带着妹妹远走他乡，陪伴和照顾她成长不是更好吗？
没有前提的爱是存在的。
有点像桑德拉布鲁克的独角戏，还算不错吧，说奥斯卡是不是过了
桑德拉演技炸裂。电影里每个人都有故事。警长的两个儿子，成年后的生活不尽如人意，把一切怪罪于那个夺走了他们父亲的女人似乎是最容易的借口。ruth替妹妹背下了杀人的罪名，妹妹的小妹妹又替他承受了被绑架。最后的拥抱，ruth不敢让自己太兴奋，荧幕前的我也是，多怕katie说出一句谢谢你救了我妹妹。多怕这只是一个感谢的拥抱。
这部其实应该获得奥斯卡的……虽然冷门但真的很优秀
这应该是Sandra Bullock从影以来的最完美表演吧！奥斯卡级别的！完全是一人带一片的节奏！整片内容其实有些俗套，但我脑袋里记住了Sandra大姐，其它什么东西都不重要了。
前半段十分平淡，一度让人不知道想具体表达什么，从头到尾渲染了一种压抑、沉重的现实压迫，好在后半段的反转直接拔高了本片的内核，让人直呼生活的艰难但又仍然充满着希望。
有点像桑德拉布鲁克的独角戏，还算不错吧，说奥斯卡是不是过了
是那种“说好不好说坏不坏让人没有评价欲望”的片子。话说基努当年是爱着（过）桑姐吧？
你睡得好不好，天冷了是不是有厚衣服，怕你孤单，爱你胜过自己。不敢让自己靠的太近，只想知道你好不好，看看你现在的样子。
其实是一个很严肃的话题。站在寄养家庭、警长儿子和主角身上都能理解各自的心境、处境。饶恕（forgive）意味着和解，这种痛彻心扉的感觉很难站在一个轻飘飘地旁人视角感受得到。另外，很不喜欢一些肤浅的戏谑评论“冲奥片”“拿奖片”。
Blood doesn't make you family.LOVE does.
是我喜欢的调调，比起相信掌握命运，我更相信面对命运的无力与无奈。只是如果没有提前看结局，我可能撑不到最后。主动看剧透后，还是有动力看下去的。所以纠结4星还是5星
①是有机会成为一部优秀剧情片的，可惜剧本问题多多。试举几例：警长的大儿子一开始是理性男，力劝小儿子不要去找刚出狱女主的麻烦，但和女主见了一面，只因女主说要重新开始生活，就立刻180度转弯，要报仇雪恨？20年了，出事时还是小屁孩的他们，如此大仇有足够说服力吗？②真相到结尾才告诉观众：是女主五岁的妹妹开的枪，女主为她顶罪服刑20年，合理吗？妹妹当时年龄尚小，请问顶罪有何意义？③对女主有好感的男同事这条线，缘何不了了之？④大儿子被小儿子戴了绿帽，盛怒之下就去绑架了女主的「妹妹」？这样的情感转移合理吗？绑架之后电话把女主叫来，大儿子的诉求是什么？当女主面干掉「妹妹」？那自己铁定牢狱之灾，这叫报复吗？……bug太多使得情节的合理性很成问题，更重要的是，人物的性格都没法立起来，明显是为了情节的走向，硬掰人物行为。
桑德拉的演技撑起整部片 配乐都很赞 结局算一个美好的sign吧
