Forbidden love at a girls’ boarding school. This movie could have been a fun, intense fantasy of seduction, but instead settles for disjointed, boring and depressing. Loving Annabelle has its very strong supporters, so don’t take our word for it. Watch for yourself and then let us know what you think.

Dieane Weist is over-the-top as a self-absorbed opera star who longs to reconnect with her estranged son. He’s gay but can’t tell her, so he concocts a cover story that predictably unravels in this fast, furious, and very funny farce. A great Buddy Night movie – invite the gang and make popcorn for this gigglefest.
