um... i'm curious for what purpose this was made but I didnt hate it all
Well, this is an odd one. The visual quality is very low, the acting ... well the women and children are decent TV movie actors, everyone else is iffy. The description is not what I would use. I would say ailing, young, married, writer meets someone else and questions her marriage while struggling to succeed and survive. This is a romance, this dos have a husband character, he's not a terrible guy but he has a temper and he doesn't pay attention to her as well as she would like. I kept wondering if it was like a lifetime movie or something someone made to show in schools or at support meetings for Cristian Lesbians or their spouses? Or children? But there's a sort of ex scene or two and that made me wonder what this was made for specifically because can they show nipples on TV and there isn't much point if its not for entertainment... I rally didn't hate a bug chunk of it but it was long and it jumped round to random places and I hated the ending a lot. I super liked the blond woman Jane though, she's pretty and funny and smart and a good mother to her children. A lot of this was very believable because the characters had back stories and but they were a little cheese. And there was a lot of someone is saying things wit drama now everyone listen... they di have chemistry though... I think the ending is supposed to be mysterious? Anyway if you have two hours to kill and want to watch this mysterious random made for TV? Movie about a woman who when faced with - if this is your last chance at happiness shouldn't you want it? Or something like that... then this s for you... it was interesting, like I can really see where they were going when it was written but they didn't quite get there.

This is one of my favorite movie, Wow
This is one of my favorite movie, Wow ! three weeks in the making. As inspired by true events. The director,producers, crews and casts might have a hard time filming it but they all pulled off this movie . I like Jane and Sydney, Jane's faith of waiting for Sydney to fall in love with her naturally, after saving her life in the beginning of the movie, doing CPR on her while she lied flat in the middle of the street; knowing after she went to the doctor and found out she has a cancer, treatable if taken care early. Sydney's financial support lacks that full and complete treatment and just take medication instead. Running on empty dreams for Sydney, because she graduated in Yale University- Bachelor of Arts. A brilliant screen play writer, never get to use it because her husband never believe on her talent- and just end up as normal housewife. Feel sorry for her. Then found a new love to Jane who was her savior; Sydney was given a second chance to find true happiness. This is a movie to watch, its just different from other movies. Do not focus on like a lesbian movie, watch it like you are seeing in a true to life story and feel you are one of their friend. I recommend this to anyone. It is less than $ 5.00 to rent or watch it instantly. Films like this- three weeks in the making is not easy for all people involved. The director, producers should make another movie for Kathleen and Rachel.

This left bad in the rearview
When you are watching a drama and you're laughing that's not good. WTF on the ex lesbian lonely I got Jesus from Colorado woman. Why would you agree to go to church with this nut. She just randomly appears out of nowhere and provides relationship advice to two people who don't know her and didn't ask. Is she the conscience of the movie? I found myself laughing every time she was in a scene. The soundtrack was out of a horror movie, not really a mood setter. The crazy husband, who literally looked like he was going to climb a tower with a rifle. in every scene. He meets the neighbor and looks at her like she stole his wallet. The scenes were all over the map. It was disjointed. The only thing that was descent- the women. They could act, not emmy winning, but they held their own. When they were making love I kept wondering where the children were the entire time. The women leave them playing in the living room to adjourn to the bedroom. They made a big deal out of one child almost walking in on them kissing, but were fine with them possibly walking in on mommies having sex. Next scene they are waking up in the morning, I guess the kids just fell asleep on the floor in the living room. I couldn't finish it. I can't believe the time I wasted. The only good thing, I didn't have to rent it. Primemembership saved me. Save yourself, don't do it. I really did want to like it and than I was frustrated.

there was no hint of any attraction before Sidney told Jane she loved her. There was one 5 second dream
For me, there was no hint of any attraction before Sidney told Jane she loved her. There was one 5 second dream, but not facial recognitions at all. Jane had a reason, but what about Sidney? Also, the length of time Sidney spent being unhappy with Cory after the move was too long. The movie felt it was dragging. It didn't make sense to me, the plot I mean. There shouldn't have been the "hint" about that last apple at the end. It seemed that it was added at last minute of production. It was more confusing than realistic, if she was truly as happy as the movie indicated she was. There's more I'd like to say, but, who's reading all this any way? Enjoy the movie :)

The Ending Is Profound!!
I love the search for ones true self. Sanity is truly a conscious existence. When Love is truly deep and spiritually connective...it’s undeniable...

Intriguing On-Screen Chemistry Hurt by Questionable Production Values
There's no denying the on-screen chemistry between the two lead women, Kathleen Benner and Rachel Owens. They seem totally at ease with each other and their scenes together were riveting. However, a host of other issues could have been handled better. The sound track (and I rarely criticise a sound track) was at times garish and overbearing. Too many scenes ended abruptly. Over and over, just as I was becoming emotionally engaged, for some unknown reason the director decides to cut to the next scene. There were also a lot of extraneous characters and events that didn't really add anything to the story. Sydney's interaction with the Church, her confession to the priest, her run-in with the butch lesbian born again Christian neighbour, etc. were all needless distractions. "Running on Empty Dreams" is a similar story line to "Elena Undone" (A married woman falls for another woman.). But there is enough tension between Sydney and her husband as their relationship begins to unravel, without having to resort to so many other subplots. The ending, again seemingly abrupt, left much to be desired. And finally, the video quality of the DVD lacked clarity or polish. Was that a question of how the movie was shot or a problem with the video transfer? I can not say.Is this a movie worth seeing? Absolutely. The acting, pace and plot held my interest. By my comments, It is not my intention to belittle cast and crew by being excessively picky. Yet, I came away with the sense that the film could have been much more enjoyable. It just needed some minor tweaking.
