Do you remember if you saw it in a theater, on television, or on a dvd?

[Stoker](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1682180/?ref_=nv_sr_1) (2013), with Nicole Kidman as the mom and Mia Wasikowska as the daughter. Matthew Goode plays the uncle (of Wasikowska’s character, obviously) who is the object of their affections.

I’ve never heard of Stoker so Bo’s movie may very well be it, but if that’s not it, my guess would be Mildred Pierce, it was redone a few years ago with Kate Winslet. I haven’t seen the remake, but if they stayed true to the original, what you said in the OP is a very, very basic version of what happened.

thanks for replies but it was not stoker as its plot involves an uncle,a known relative,not some stranger young man.it is also not mildred pierce as it is a mini-series not movie(at least i think it was).any other suggestions?

this movie was in concept stage at the time of article in newspaper(got to stop assuming every movie in concept stage will be produced) & most likely shelved & the proposed actress was sharon stone.

Broken Flowers (2005)
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412019/?ref\_=nm\_flmg\_act\_14](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412019/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_14)
I haven’t seen it, but Bill Murray breaks up with his gf, played by Julie Delpy, and then responds to an anonymous letter from an old lover (Sharon Stone) and ends up having sex with Stone’s 18 year old daughter (Alexis Dzenia)

you missed my previous post.the movie i was talking about was never finalised.Sharon Stone was supposed to play a bored housewife whose one night stand with a young stranger comes back to haunt her when the young stranger befriends her teen daughter.

_Broken Flowers_ doesn’t fit the plot given in the OP at all. Murray has sex with Stone (who was a girlfriend from long before, so the sex was just a “Hey, we’re both unattached at the moment, so let’s get reacquainted” thing), but he doesn’t have sex with the daughter. That’s just a tiny part of the plot anyway. And, of course, Murray isn’t a young man.
