I'm female. 40. And I thought this movie was really formulaic and uninteresting.
Charisma is a fine actress capable of belting out a very good performance: See Buffy, Angel and Veronica Mars for proof of that.
She was vastly dumbed down for this role. Yes, she looks like a cute modern Mary Tyler Moore, but... no....
Impossible to believe "Jane" was second fiddle to anyone. Charisma is gorgeous, and would have stood out if only for that.
Charisma's career may be hitting a dry well, like many Buffy alums, I don't see them doing work worthy of their talent. I hope next time around she picks something worth while.

Matthew Ashford shines in this play as Michael, a man who visits his best friend's young widow.
The first 10-20 minutes are engaging, but a little 'play-like' (as opposed to TV or movie like) in the delivery of dialog.
However, as the play progresses and we begin to understand the purpose of Michael's visit, his acting gets tighter and tighter, and we see hints of his long-running character, Jack Deveraux, from the early Jack days.
He's angry, he's dark, he's scary, and he's charming. Matt delivers all of this on the turn of the dime.
Deceit may be somewhat predictable, and Tammy Minoff isn't all that great an actress, but Matt really pulls this one to the top of the DVD pile. I really urge you to get your hands on this and watch it. Enjoy a little scotch and soda while you do.
