Reviews

For my sins, I actually enjoyed this TV movie. The performances weren't great, but they weren't hideous either. I successfully predicted practically every plot turn, but as this was on at 2pm on a Tuesday I really wasn't expecting anything else. Stockard Channing and Stephen Collins looked a little embarrassed by their roles but still managed to generate enough chemistry to keep me watching. The kids were too cute and perfectly polite to have come from a really messed up background and there were a few moments that were so sugar-coated that I actually had to look away... that said it made for a better afternoon's entertainment than anything written by Danielle Steel, and I was encouraged enough by its slightly-above-average-for-a-TV-movie status to bother to come and write this review.

I would give this movie a six out of ten, and if by any chance they show the sequel tomorrow then yes I'll probably watch that too... perhaps I need to get out more, or maybe I'm secretly hoping to be swept off my feet by a middle-aged child-man and two cute kids, but I thought this movie was okay.
