After that they keep bumping into each other. They have lunch together and see a movie. Soon they spend every Thursday afternoon together. They are both married and happy in their marriages. But something draws them together and they fall in love. Laura doesn't know if she can go through with an affair. Decisions have to be made. I liked this movie.

Friday: Prom (2020)

          Two self centered Broadway stars, Dee Dee and Barry, are depressed after their latest musical failed. They meet up with two other failed actors, Angie and Trent. When they find out one of the reasons the musical failed was because they are seen as self-centered, they come up with a plan. They need a cause that will make them look good. Angie reads a article about a high school student in a small town in Indiana who's prom got canceled because she wanted to take her girlfriend to prom. They decide to go there and help her. Emma just wanted to go to prom with her girlfriend. She didn't mean for it to get canceled. Her principal is very supportive and helps to get the prom back on. When the broadway actors arrive they make things worse. But they don't give up and fight to get Emma the inclusive prom she deserves. This is a good movie. I enjoyed it. It is based on the broadway musical.
