Wow...

I have to say, this movie shocked me, in a wonderful way. According to the description I was expecting something completely different... but I was very pleasantly surprised. The acting was absolutely amazing...

This sensitive and poignant story tells the tale of a dysfunctional mother and her teenage daughter, who is in a wheelchair. They move to LA and meet a new family of people,and the mother begins a downward spiral, taking her daughter with her.

The mother has Munchausen by proxy syndrome... among other things. Amazingly, the daughter has been deceived her entire life. An incredible story...

Yawn!!!!

Saw this at a recent film festival. Film doesn't rise above your typical TV movie-of-the week. Which is why I was asking :why is this film at a film festival when it really belongs on the Lifetime Network? (and that is being generous). Just because it's based on a true story doesn't mean we should pay attention to it. Ending is melodramatically corny and predictable, and the causes for the main character's dilemma aren't fully explained. Plodding script and direction. So-so acting. With a cast of "B" actors this film will go nowhere. Chances of this film finding a distributor and/or making money: 15%.

Next!
