3/10
A sad, dull little family

Brittany Underwood is delightful in this. I think she played the wonderfully robotic, murderous pastry chef in one of the campiest, fun OTT daytime movies. She doesn't disappoint here. Otherwise this dull film sucked.

What a sad little family.

I didn't like any of the characters in this. They are a depressing little collection.

Sam is a jealous, self-centered and neglectful mother. She doesn't cook for her child. She can't trust her husband's wandering eye. She overworks to avoid her family.

Tom is a cheater who keeps a gun in an unlocked dresser drawer. He is critical of his wife - he tells her that she doesn't bother to cook (why doesn't HE cook?), she doesn't wear sexy satin robes. But he does do dishes.

Nurse: Is your husband home?

Sam: (Looks taken aback).

Erm, why is that such a shocking question?

Nurse: "He's very handsome." Wife: "A lot of women think so".

Really? He's not that attractive, mediocre at best.

The actress playing the child has adorable freckles but there's something off about her. She seems much older than 10 years Like maybe she's around 16, just short. Lines like "She's angelic" and "you're lucky to have such a perfect little girl" don't ring true.

The detective, when told a deranged nurse has kidnapped a 10 year child just brushes it off and leaves, saying she has more important things to do. WTF?
