Member Rating:  
This adaptation of Christina Bartolomeo's novel Cupid and Diana was produced for the award-winning anthology series Hallmark Hall of Fame. Cate DeAngelo (Mary Louise Parker) is the misfit youngest daughter in a dysfunctional Irish/Italian family; her mother recently died, and her father Dominic (Philip Bosco) has never had much use for her. Cate gets along only a bit better with her sisters, fussbudget Francesca (Bebe Neuwirth) and straight-laced Cynthia (Joanna Going). Cate runs a vintage clothing boutique that isn't doing much business, and her relationship with her boyfriend Philip (David Lansbury) is pleasant but passionless. When she meets Harry (Peter Gallagher), a rumpled but charming lawyer from New York, Cate thinks she may have finally found the man she's been looking for all her life -- except he seems like a less attractive package than Philip, and her family is sure she's making a mistake. Cupid & Cate first aired on May 7, 2000. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Don't pick on Peter alone! Mary Louise Parker has a set style of acting too! Underlying sarcastic remarks w/a cute smile. I swear I could see her "Weeds" facial expressions as I have in all her fillms. Basically a story about a girl meeting Mr Right (all the way to parenthood) and then the guy becomes terminally ill. I agree with Anna (reviewer) .. I couldn't figure out how the leukemia subplot meshes with the family angst dynamics between daughter & father. The subplot doesn't even play out ...which was frustrating. One moment he's ok..then in ICU w/tubes hither and yon, and then gathered round a family table for din. A bit confusing and could easily have been left out in lieu of more of Fricker's part!

A beautiful woman who learns from Mr. Right how to let go of a grudge. This is really well done, except that the cancer (his) plot doesn't really mesh well with the family angst (her) plot. Oh, that and the Peter Gallagher flaw: he has one acting persona - that's factual-likeable. Even half dead he's factual-likeable. It doesn't really work. So dock half a star for the plot issue and a whole star for Peter.
