Danielle Steels Väter

Shallow, shallow script ...stilted acting ...the shadows of boom mikes lingering over the actors' heads in scenes ...worth watching because Kate Mulgrew plays the most selfish mother in TV movie history and it's all before Ben Affleck got his teeth capped.

One of the better 'Danielle Steel's films, certainly a vast improvement on her 'Star' effort ! Patrick Duffy is Patrick Duffy - for me one of the better actors and always puts in a good performance. Ben Affleck as his moody teenage son was excellent, too !. Lynda Carter, although not seen until half-way through this film, added classical beauty to the proceedings and the casting of Kate Mulgrew as the stone-hearted, selfish mother who discovered whoredom late on in life was a master-stroke ! All in all, a pleasant viewing !

I am not a parent, neither am I a male. But I was able to identify with every character's heartaches and pains.

This is a movie teenagers should watch. Maybe that way they will start appreciating the value of family again. I'm sorry for those that don't understand the value of love, family and friendship.

It was very interesting to watch Patrick Duffy in a different role than that of Bobby Ewing. And it is great to see a 19 year old Ben Affleck giving his best in a moving and sincere performance. He showed at an early age, that he is capable of heartfelt drama. He should be offered more serious roles. Note Hollywoodland... his first serious role in years and he went out and won Best Actor at the Venice Festival in 2006.

This movie can be appreciated by people of all ages. Maybe shouldn't be watched by children under 10 because they might get scared that the same may happen to their families, but I recommend it to the entire family.

I bought this movie on DVD and have watched it with friends many times. Because it portrays the values that are important in life.

There is only one real person in this film: Kate Mulgrew's role. Watch it only for her sake. It's shame to give a little role in a simple bad soppy film to a marvellous actress! This movie is full of pseudo-problems and false solutions. Since the Voyager is over Kate Mulgrew has more time so I hope she will receive great roles in great films.

Family problems abound in real life and that is what this movie is about. Love can hold the members together through out the ordeals and trials and that is what this movie is about. One man, Daddy, has the maturity and fortitude to sustain the family in the face of adversity. The kids grow up,one all be it, in the hard way, to realize that no matter how old they or a parent is, the parent still loves their children and are willing to provide them a cushion when they fall. ALL the actors portraying their characters did outstanding performances. Yes, I shed a tear along the way knowing I had had similar experiences both as a young adult and later as a parent. This true to life is one which every young adult, and parent, would do well to see, although some will not realize it until they too are parents. A must see for those who care about their families.
