    Worth it!
    I was caught up as a mother. I definitely could see myself doing exactly what she did if the need arose. Only problem is this is based on a true story, however, as a native Idahoan, there is no such place as Fair Lake, Idaho. And after watching, I could not find anything regarding the real Jody Murdoch or James Rossi. So I'm a bit confused. Still, a great movie.
