Escaping Dad

But I'm soooo tired of LMN movies with teenagers who disrespect their mothers. Awful.

Not the best title but whatever. Reminds me of sleeping with the enemy and Enough. Trevor Donovan reminds me of Brad Pitt from Thelma and Louise except he's the good guy instead of the rascal who screws the girl over. It's a fun movie and always fun to watch Trevor Donovan on screen.

The fair thing to say about this film is to define it as correct. It is just a puzzle with each piece in in right place. And, no doubts, that is a real, substacial good point. Not bad acting, few holes, a fist of unrealistic situations, a too idealistic end but , in essence, nothing bad. Yes, the idea is familiar and it was used in better manner but Sunny Mabrey, Jason Wiles,Trevor Donovan are more than decent in their roles and the script far to be awful.

Although there have been quite a few abused wife on the run LMN movies, this one is better than average. The pace is fast and the escape is quite exciting with the way too efficient cops on their tails. The cast is likable.

Sunny Mabrey is quite believable and pretty as abused wife on the run from her A type cop turned DA abusive husband with her daughter and diabetic son. Grace Van Dien daughter of Casper plays an irritating brat older daughter who in turns stupidly leaking information on their whereabouts and uncooperative. Along comes trucker played by Trevor Donovan who helps drive them to safety.

The conclusion is quite feel good. Worth a watch.

I thought the title wasn't appropriate, but overall this movie was really good. The movie wasn't about Dad, more than it was about an over-bearing, controlling and abusive 'Husband'. The couple was married 10-11 years, so I'm assuming the younger son was probably his, but not the older teenage daughter. So it was the daughter's stepdad and the son's real dad, but it was the wife who had been taking this man's abuse and not the children. Anyway, it was worthy of watching.
