You may go into this movie expecting the typical made-for-TV movie downfalls (cheesy acting, cheap sentiment, washed-up stars, and low production values) but other than the tell-tale weak musical score, this movie delivers honest performances and a truly touching story of triumph over personal adversity.
As an avid movie-goer, I can assure you that this movie is better than most of the movies I have seen in theaters during the past few years. All the performances were top-notch, with a stand-out performance by Lynn Redgrave, who makes you hate her, yet redeems herself in the end.
I count Annabeth Gish's depiction of a mentally challenged person as convincing as those of A-list actors who have attempted similar roles in the past.
