 Excellent Film, True-to-Life December 7, 2009
Brennan (Minneapolis, MN United States)
This film starts somewhat slow, but turns into an excellent film that chronicles the life of someone living with sexual compulsion and what it means to be stuck in a cycle of helplessness.The movie turns out to be a pillar of hope and strength, while retaining its' authenticity. Highly recommended.
 An Out of Control Obsession April 4, 2008

When I first saw this movie on the "Lifetime" network,I was really ingrossed in this movie. Aside from the fact that the main stars, Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin are real life husband and wife,the movie was one of a true,startling and very heartwrenching real life story. The film is played by Rinna and Hamlin as husband and wife and that the husband has a insatiable sex addiction. He goes to extreme limits to satisfy his sexual compulsions, picking up prostitutes, going to peep shows and strip joints and even having his own secret apartment to bring other women to and watch pornography. All the while his unsuspecting wife does not know of this serious condition of his that can very well be compared to a drug addiction or any other severe compulsions. The wife finally realizes something's very wrong when she is called to bail him out of jail for soliciting an undercover policewoman posing as a prostitute. She is shocked,furious and hurt by what she eventually finds out about her otherwise "normal" husband. She gives him an ultimatum to seek professional help for his addiction to sex and lust. He goes and they find their way back to some stable and promising grounds as he really does love his wife. A must see for anyone interested in the complex life of a marriage constantly being tested by continous adultery on the man's part, although women are known to have this"sex" addiction. Based on a true story, it gives insight,knowledge and hope for these kind of troubled marriages that are actually more commonplace then we think. A stunning and heartfelt movie for mature audiences.
An Entertaining Film November 10, 2007

While this film is reminiscent of many other made-for-TV film on a form of addiction (drug, gambling, kleptomania, etc.), it's bouyed by an interesting storyline and surprisingly strong acting by Harry Hamlin, and especially Lisa Rinna. Unlike many other "Based on actual events" films, it actually felt real. I highly recommend seeing it.
A warning: There are two or three scenes of brief nudity in the DVD version which was not aired on television (Lifetime Movie Network). While it didn't bother me at all, you rarely see that in a "Lifetime" movie no matter what medium it's shown. So I was taken aback for a second. Don't take that as a knock on the film in any way; it's still a must-see. I'm just giving potential viewer a heads-up.

It's an absolute must for all adolescent males and possibly females. About a man's sexual addiction: how it began, how it progressed, and how he dealt with it. It shows how it affected his marriage and what his wife did about it.
