• Sum it Up!

Laura is the perfect housewife, she cooks, cleans and is  absolutely beautiful. Martin wants to take Laura out and sail on the ocean, but Laura is terrified of the water because she can't swim. When they do go out, a terrible storm hits and Laura falls overboard. Martin does all he can to find her, but they never find her.  

• Love, Like or Take a Hike?

I would give this a Like! I enjoy the empowering woman aspect of the movie, but everything seems so overdone. An abusive man, a helpless woman who stands up (or runs away), and the new man who is a knight in shining armor. The dialog is too dry for my liking, but I don't dislike the movie.
