A Mother's Sacrifice

One of, if not the worst, of these fashionable modern daytime dramas. They seem to be everywhere these days and I'm assuming they must be cheap to make, or why bother?

Usual clapped-out 'mother and daughter don't get along' relationship as the mother is too controlling and the daughter wants her 'freedom' story, which culminates in the daughter going missing.

Nobody believes the mum, least of all the police, and she realises she has to find the daughter on her own.

I'm not a fan of these newer tv dramas as they seem to be similar: generic plots, tired scripts, uninventive camerawork and stale direction. Most of these TV movies are bad but this one seems to stand out from the rest because of its sheer awfulness.

The main problem with this particular effort is the acting. I couldn't find one decent, believable performance with one actress being completely dubbed and the other English actress giving one of the most atrociously wooden performances I've ever seen. She really needs a new career.

The rest is just dross. Kirsty Swanson, never the best of actresses, in the lead isn't much better.

Steer clear of this one. Unless you like watching painfully bad acting......????

Are they serious ? I cannot believe the absolute rubbish that I have just watched. Kristy Swanson cannot act, but she can certainly SHOUT ! It is an insult to anybody's intelligence to expect them to watch this really dreadful stuff. I am actually angry at myself for staying with it, usually when something is so bad, I can see the funny side , but not this time !! This movie should never have made it to the screen, when,, probably ,some decent movies have been shelved, and real talent not given a chance. As you can guess this movie REALLY annoyed me . Please do not watch it, it doesn't deserve any airtime !!

And by the way , what did the title mean?

What Sacrifice ?

While I agree with all the bad reviews regarding the terrible acting by all the cast, I just want to add a few remarks. Kristy Swanson's only good performance was in the Flowers in the Attic. Instead of getting better as she grew older she just got worse.

And this Josey (daughter) character, what the hell was that stupid accent of hers? Was she trying to act tough? Well it made her look and sound stupid. Samm needs some real acting lessons pronto. And her disrespectfullness was beyond eye-widening. A stupid rebel without a clue. You won't miss much by not watching this one.

They were right, hahaha. Anyway, I had some good laugh at the artificiality of everything there. Kirsty Swansot did not surprise me, but all the other actors were wooden, like the plot.

This movie was hilarious. The acting had me cracking up. I agree with the other reviews on Rose I mean she is HORRIBLE. The lady who played Liz was equally as bad. She sounded like she was reading her script line from line and the lifted pitch at the end of every line when she was talking to Katherine annoyed me so badly I had to just laugh it off.

If you've watched any movie ever, you know in the first 30 minutes (maybe sooner) who the culprit is and why. No surprise plot twist nor shocker here. Listen, these movies are out there and they are unavoidable. Just take them as they are and find a way to enjoy them. My method was to shift it to a comedy to help me get through.

Three stars for "creative" effort.
