Making
The Rules (2014 aka Abby In The Summer/Lionsgate DVD)
Picture:

Abby
(Jaime Pressly) is a gourmet chef, but after an accident she is
home-ridden for the next few months. Bored of hanging around her
caring husband and having no real work, she is visited by her
friends, relatives and well wishers on her recovery ...that is until
she runs into an ex-boyfriend Shaun (the infamous Robin Thicke). It
might turn out to be a hot summer's passion and romance or just a
boring time and a living hell in Jimbo Lee's Making The Rules
(2014).
Abby
is a hard working career woman, talented she dreams of becoming the
head chef on her own.... however she it also makes her a control
freak. She must be the one in charge, making all the decisions and
everyone must work according to her rules, but she is thrown a
monkey's wretch after an accident and is forced to take it easy for
the summer. She then runs into an ex-boyfriend (noted above) who
helps pass her boredom with nights (and days) of wild sex while her
husband is at work. Everything is great for Abby, she has the best
of both worlds... that is until she discovers she is pregnant, and
sooner or later she decide which life she wants to live.
This
telefilm was about a very independent woman, she is married to a hard
working husband who cares and loves her, but she is more in love with
what he provides for her than the man himself, and when she meets an
ex-boyfriend she thinks he is the answer to what she's been missing
in the bedroom. As long as her husband doesn't find out, but when
she finds out she is pregnant, she faces the moral dilemma to decide
whom she loyal to.
The
anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image and lossy Dolby Digital sound
are on the weak side, par for the course on most TV movies today, so
beware. Digital download is available, but there are no real extras.
