Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Mr. Smith may have gone to Washington, and Mrs. Washington may have gone to Smith; only this is where any similarity between the two comes to an abrupt stop. The two movies are not, at all alike. Now, if you would like to compare Cybill Shepherd with Loretta Young: the latter starred in a comedic movie named "Mother Is a Freshman" with Van Johnson, waaaaaaaaaay back in 1949. I have not seen the 1949 movie in a few (Mmmmmm-30 plus) years. Yet I remember the main gist of the main story line, and it sure fits! Mrs. Washington has been told before! She is a modernization of sweet Loretta Young's character. As far as Hallmark movies go, Ms. Washington, actually, was well received, compared to many of its brothers and sisters offered by the H Channel. Most are UNBELIEVABLY DODGY AND UNBELIEVABLY Unintelligent. Beyond the "romance," Ms. W reminds me of what I might be like if I attempted to return to college... I totally related to the character! It made me smile! (I was a music major/athlete and would love to return for completion in both music and lit/writing!). I related to BOTH roommates! Believability? Since WHEN are television and movies ever been all that much so? While you are pondering this question, check out "Mother Is a Freshman."---It is a hoot of a capsule in time! Loved it!

this film was predictable from the start and is best avoided at all costs..Typical American cheese movie with extra ham on top!!!! Ceybil Shepherd looks like she is carrying a lot of weight these days and has had some work done.the acting was really poor.Shame as in her day she wasn't that bad an actress.so if you want to waste your money either by renting or buying this rubbish,don't say you wasn't warned!!!you may think that I'm being unfair by only rating the movie as a one but i thought that was fair.The film was made for TV and once viewed i could see why.but if you want to look clever in front of your friends by predicting what will happen next then you should rent or buy this rubbish..

Having gone to Smith, I wasn't impressed with the movie. They couldn't have found a location even *remotely* New England? Smith is a gorgeous, extraordinarily photogenic, community of learning for women; it's not across the globe, the standard California university buildings are NOT a stand-in. Someone should have put their foot down instead of going for a realism.The love triangle story was an INSULT to the women who attend these colleges! This is not high school, where the girls cat fight over the dreamy poetry teacher! As we Smithies say, Smith is not a girls' school without men, it's a WOMENS COLLEGE WITHOUT BOYS. While I praise the older women for not giving up on love, the screenwriter showed no finesse or originality in tapping out this drivel.The movie gets a 2 for bringing to light the very real and admirable Ada Comstock Scholars program at Smith College that draws "non-traditional age" students to the campus. And, as a matter of fact, these students may integrate as much or as little as she chooses, so a 20 year old roommate could happen.Only watch this movie if you're a Cybill Shepherd fan, or want to be inspired by the groundbreaking Ada Comstock Scholars program offered at Smith College

This movie is about a divorce woman goes back to college. She fall in love with her professor. Hallmark has not made movies that is worth watching. Especially this movie. Older woman fall for a younger man, that is gross. 2nd Cybil is too fat and ugly I can't watch it anymore, and I have turn it off.In real life there is no such thing, the younger classmates are friendly, and understanding.Don't waste your time watching this movie. An old woman and a young girl that is remotely impossible.Please, Hallmark find someone better and start making better movie.
