Distraction Of A Discarded Woman

Review of The Sweeter Side Of Life

It has been a while, too long in fact, since we saw Kathryn in a significant new project. Since the Cougars, Inc. VOD release on the 1st of April 2011 (May for the DVD) there has been… well, nothing really. Of several scenes filmed for Moneyball, one of the biggest movies of 2011, only a singleton made it to the public and that was just as a deleted scene on the DVD. One short film (Sunday’s Mother) that has only been shown at a few festivals. That’s it. As regulars know there are a couple of other projects in the offing: another short (The Coin) and a small role in a feature film (2 Br/1 Ba). That makes this, the lead role in a TV movie, a big deal for us fans of Kathryn. Can it possibly live up to the weight of expectation?

It was so good to have Kathryn back on our screens. We’ve missed her very much. A comedy role like this is new for her too. I have wanted to see her do comedy for a long time and have no doubt she can do it with aplomb.

The Sweeter Side Of Life Screencaps

Normally in this space we’d have some text describing the film or episode of Cold Case the screencaps have come from, but frankly you probably haven’t even read this far through this sentence.

It’s pretty certain that you won’t get to this second paragraph so I’ll just write “blah” a couple of times and move on. Blah, blah.

Assuming you are still reading, a comprehensive set of screencaps covering The Sweeter Side Of Life are now in the Gallery.

The Other Side Of The Sweeter Side – Update

For those on the East coast and Central regions The Sweeter Side Of Life will have just about finished. The West coasters will have to wait just a little longer. Once you’ve seen it please let us know what you thought with a comment below.

Below is a poll for you to give us a quick reaction to the movie. Was the movie the sweetest thing you ever did see, or had it gone stale before its time?

If you come over all creative and wish to write a more comprehensive critique of the film then please contact us and we’ll put together a special review page for any submissions.

There will be a full KM UK review in a few days.

Also, since the last post we’ve added a few more on set photos to the Gallery, courtesy of Michael Damian and his Twitter feed. Thanks to him for them.

Update (3 February 2013): After two weeks we’ve closed the poll. It was the biggest poll we’ve done with more voters than ever before. As you can see below it was a landslide for the likes with only a few remaining to be convinced. No one went for the hate it option. Thank you to everyone that took part.

It’s The Final Countdown

With just a couple of days to go until the première of The Sweeter Side Of Life we’ve come over all nostalgic.

Not just for the time last year when we first heard of this project (it had the slightly more interesting title of Confections Of A Discarded Woman back then) and we were all clamouring for news about it.

No, for some reason we find ourselves harking back to the 1980s. All the big hair, bright make-up, shoulder pads, rolled up jacket sleeves and dodgy European pop anthems. Can’t think what is causing it…

The gentleman you see on the right, on the set of The Sweeter Side Of Life with Kathryn, is Steve Varnom. He’s the one with the beard 😉 You will have seen him in the trailers and some of the promo photos for the film. Steve plays Eddie, Desiree’s (Kathryn) lawyer and he is one of the many English actors in the film. The full-sized version of the photo is available in the Gallery.

We very much look forward to finding out how that outfit features in the movie, assuming it does. It could very well a highlight 😛

To further mark the pending première we have a couple of poster image updates. The first is an increase in size of the 2nd poster and the other is a new version which looses the Hallmark branding and few more minor changes. They are also now in the Gallery.
