Hey, for the exact same experience, just head down to the video store and rent What Lies Beneath.
At least you'll have Michelle Pfeiffer to look at... Diane Lane's not bad to look at either...
I thought "What Lies Beneath" was an okay movie. The plot had some real suspense, and was purposeful (albeit slow-paced). Harrison Ford was able to convey at least a semi-plausible motivation for his character's actions.
So if you hated "What Lies Beneath" and I thought it was okay, but I hated "Unfaithful", that should tell you something about the latter's relative merits.

What Lies Beneath was a good - not great, but good - film, nuanced and expressive in its way, which was murdered by a Fatal Attraction-like finish. As for Unfaithful, I have seen the reviews being 50/50, so far, but I will wait until I have seen it, which I plan to, since I like the idea of teaming Richard Gere and Diane Lane - their styles as they have matured (Gere can be a remarkably focused actor now, as compared to his earliest career in which he was far more style than substance; Lane given the chance can make even a despicable character seem oddly humane) in their craft make the prospect interesting.

>Diane Lane's not bad to look at either...Well, this might not be the most sane approach to entertainment, but A Little Romance is one of my most favorite films of all time, and I always feel weird seeing Diane Lane in grown up parts, because I always picture her as the cute little girl...
