A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
They prove that the cops, when they can't find the REAL perpetrators, always blame the parents and accuse them of sexual abuse of their kids. These movies always depict the press as a bunch of animals and have the parents coming out of court to feed the press' hunger to humiliate the grief-stricken. Hasn't anybody ever heard of a courthouse back door in these movies? Here, you have a psychic who tells them exactly what happened and WHERE the body can be found, but the police are not told and nobody heeds his findings.The police are portrayed as blockheads who don't know what they are doing and there's always an outside detective, like Ed Asner, who comes in late on the case, believes in the parents and solves the mystery.Also, after the parents are cleared, they don't spit in the faces of the dumb cops who put them in jail, took their kid away and accused them of killing their own child.It looked as if I've see this film MANY times before.
Kevin Dillon(David Dowaliby),"Mob Dot Com",'03, tired very hard to act as a parent, but just did very little to support his role as a father to Shannen Doherty (Cindi Dowaliby),"Striking Poses",'99, Cindi played an excellent mother and showed her fans that she has great talent as well as wonderful looks. As soon as Edward Asner(Detective John Waters),"Elf",'93,appeared, he gave the picture a boost and brought my attention back to the story, which seemed to go on and on. Unfortunately, the police and so-called politicians in this film were shown as down to earth criminals themselves. However, the police and FBI are really our protectors in real life and with DNA do not have to go out of their way to accuse innocent citizens of a crime they did not COMMIT!
This is one of the best made-for-TV movies I have ever seen...I would love to be able to buy it somehow. I stumbled upon it while I was home alone and I've been thinking about it ever since! The plot is very good, the acting terrific...at first I wondered how Shannen Doherty could play a mother but she was very talented...the film in a whole is just wonderful, it has just the right amount of drama, not too much. If you ever stumble upon it DEFINITIVELY watch it!!
This film just fantastic.. I LOVE IT!! All that kinda drama, and the way the american police/whatever treats them, it's the truth - and a hard truth!! I love this film... Can't say it enough..!! And Shannen Doherty's my favourite actor, so.. That's a bonus!!! I'd love to own this film... :o)
