As Good As It Gets

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I saw this movie when it was new back in 1993, when I was just a teenager. What a great movie. It stars Lori Loughlin as Jane, a woman with two children who is told her third child was stillborn due to narcotics found in her bloodstream. But she knows that's impossible because she never did drugs and the baby kicked in the car on the way to the hospital. Unfortunately, nobody believes her, not even her husband or best friend. But we find out shortly after that Jane is telling the truth: Nurse Rita Donahue (played by Kate Jackson) drugged her and stole her baby girl in an effort to get her boyfriend Frank to marry her. Then we find out Frank is married with three daughters and desperately wants a son, so Rita makes plans to steal another baby soon after. This movie is full of suspense, and it's truly shocking and disturbing to see just how far Rita will go to get what she wants. The most astounding part is that she almost gets away with it! But thankfully, the truth eventually comes out and Jane is reunited with her child. See it at any cost. It's one of Lifetime's best TV movies.

Kate Jackson is a hoot as a crazy white-trash nurse who schemes to steal babies from pregnant women so she can lure her married boyfriend into being with her and their "family." She goes from kindly nurse to psycho baby-stealer in the blink of an eye -- great job, Kate; who knew you were such a comedienne?!The serious segments with Lori Loughlin are typical Lifetime melodrama, but the over-the-top scenes with Kate and her teenage son, played by Jonah Blechman, are pure Lifetime cheese (and I mean that in a good way!) Eriq LaSalle (Dr. Peter Benton on "ER") shows up in the last 30 minutes as an inquisitive detective.Very entertaining in a campy sort of way.

Well I Did Happen To see the previews about a week or two ago and it said Lori loughlin and i Just love her so i knew i just had to see this performance. Wow I'm glad i did it was dramatic. The Determined Mean Person in this movie was Rita played by Kate Jackson. Then Lori Loughlin as the lady who had her baby taking away. They told her that they found drugs in her system.Rita Slipped The Drugs into her system,stole her baby. Then Another Lady Was Pregnant and she Murdered her. Then The Detective Eric Lasalle From NBCs ER investigated Rita and then she got arrested and Lori Loughlins Character got her baby back. I did think the movie was quite interesting. You Just Gotta Have Patience to really understand it.

SPOILERS..........I watched this one on Lifetime the other night. I had seen the previews for it and thought it looked pretty good. It was. About a young woman(Lori Laughlin) who goes to the hospital to give birth. When she wakes up the next morning, they tell her it died 9 days earlier in her womb, and it weighed only 3 and 1/2 pounds. She finds this a little hard to believe, considering the baby had been kicking on the way to the hospital, and the doctor the night she came in said the baby would weigh about 8 1/2 pounds. Anyhow, mainly the movie is about the nurse who stole her baby. Then the nurse finds out her married lover wanted a boy, so she plans another snatch.In the end though, it's a happy ending, and the nurse goes to jail. I wish they had showed more of the Lori Laughlin side, I thought they focused too much on the nurse, but overall very good, 7/10.
