Holy Jesus, where do I start with this abomination of a movie? I saw this on Amazon Prime and checked it out, and I have to say this is one of the worst pieces of hot garbage I have ever seen. They prominently display Kirstie Alley and Gary Busey as being in the stars in this movie and they're in it for a total of 2 scenes. The child actors are god awful! It's not totally their fault though, the script is horrendous. The parts of the movie where you are supposed to feel something about these characters are so pandering, that its embarrassing. I'll bet everyone involved in this movie wishes it would go away. This movie makes a Lifetime movie look like Citizen Kane.
