Sleeping With the Enemy is a pretty good movie about an abused wife (Roberts) and her journey out of her marriage. It has some level of suspense to it. Dying Young, which I had never heard of before ordering this duo, was actually not bad. A young man hires a caregiver (Roberts), and a relationship ensues. It's not edge of your seat excitement, but I found it to be pretty good. I rate Sleeping With the Enemy with a 4, and Dying Young with a 3.

Julia Roberts you have out done yourself i watch every movie that is put out with you in and you a superior actress and I love you, the way you put your heart into every role you play these moives where excellent and upon my top ten list

I saw this movie years ago and still think it to be one of Robert's best. It is essentially a noir toned movie, eerie to think that someone could marry such a wicked man, that someone actually fell in love with someone evil. He's a man (her husband) who beats her and is cruel and domineering. Somewhat like the men Robert's has been know to have married and had affairs with, except now she's mastered the art of finding a good man?

She fakes her own death, as death is always lurking for a woman who is unfortunate enough to be in such a relationship. I heard she passed on a darker movie at the time. One involving a big star who falls in love with a nobody who rejects her advances. In that plot she has any woman who falls in love with him swept away by a romantic con man who later goes on to rape and torture his victims. It's a boomarang kind of story because one of the women she's had raped goes on to murder her. But she passed on that one for sleeping with the enemy, where she plays the victim. Of course, she does this very well. All in all, a splendid move and highly recommended by me(to you).

I bought this item along with another dvd as a gift for my friend's mother. She loves Julia Roberts so I thought it would be a great birthday gift. I ordered the item 2 weeks before her birthday AND SELECTED EXPEDITED SHIPPING and both dvds came after her birthday. I was very upset because this has never happened to me and I shop on Amazon all the time.

This is the DVD that I wanted at a good price. It shipped quickly to my home and worked fine was in good condition.

I love Sleeping with the Enemy. Not such a fan of Dying Young, but it was still a bonus buy. DVD is in great condintion.

I've watched all movies that Julia Roberts has made and like most of them, but "Sleeping with the Enemy" is by far my favorite Roberts movie.
The book by Nancy Price on which "Sleeping with the Enemy" is based on is very compelling, too. But there are a few differences between the book and the film. I like the film even more than the novel, but also enjoy reading the novel from time to time.

Dying Young is weird but it was free. Sleeping with the Enemy was great. Quality of dvd great. No problems with either disc

My fiance is a huge Julia fan. 2 classic Julia movies for a crazy low price? Can't beat that!

Julia Roberts young and at her best. Sleeping with the Enemy, An edge of your seat thriller. Dying Young a real tear jerker, with some lite moments. I love Julia Roberts she is so versatile.
