Well OK, it's a made for TV movie and it was showing on Lifetime Network so with all that aside...I'm just a Bakula fan. I have a Tivo search for Bakula showings and this auto-recorded. Actually, not a bad story at all if you can tolerate the Arquette family and a too-neat wrap it up kind of ending.
I enjoyed most of the movie's progression and I agree with the last comment post that the the kid's character was as oblivious as dry toast. However one can see he wasn't the center point of the movie other than the plot point that she was a perfect mother with total dedication to her only child.
This would have made a fantastic novel if the last five minutes of the movie were stretched out over a few chapters involving a long, drawn out set up. The TVM seems to be edited down to "we've only got five minutes left so wrap this thing up quick". It was a good movie to satisfy my Scott Bakula in a romantic role fix on a slow day.
