Girl in Room 13

Grace (Larissa Dias) is staying clean after her latest rehab. Her mother Janie (Anne Heche) is supportive and hopeful. While doing a favor for a friend, Grace gets kidnapped by druggie former boyfriend Richie. She's locked in a motel room to be broken down for trafficking. Most think that she had fallen off the wagon again, but Janie is relentless in her search for her daughter.

This is one of those Lifetime woman-in-trouble movie. It's noteworthy for being one of Anne Heche's final roles. Elisabeth Röhm is also trying her hand in directing. She seems to be functional, but nothing spectacular. First, Grace needs to fight harder. It's more realistic and much more compelling to push the action. The movie needs to increase the intensity at every turn and this fails to do that. There are also too many dumb characters. I wonder how much money the motel workers are getting paid to turn a blind eye to the scheme. Whatever it is, it is not enough. He's even late for the motel rental. It makes no sense. This is not a smart movie. I get that her repeated drug uses have worn down the family. In which case, the story would work better if the dad is gone and Janie is truly alone. All in all, this is a Lifetime movie and not a good one at that.

I had no idea who was in the movie when I started watching. Typical low budget tv movie producing. The odd thing was that after an hour, I was befuddled by the mother character. While I couldn't fault the actress' passion, her addled, frantic approach at first seemed like wild overacting, but after a while, seemed more like the antics of a drug addict... ironic since the movie is about a former addiction daughter. She didn't play distressed mother, she played... brain fried druggie. That's when I looked up the info on the channel info and saw it was Anne Heche. Wow... you can see how far gone she was... life intruding on art. The other actors actually seem surprisingly good, and they simply... act normally around Heche's crazy frantic acting.

I got through about 6 minutes of this movie and I think that was too long. The acting is horrible. I hate to speak ill of the dead, but Anne Heche overacts and seems spastic. I don't know why they paired her with a man who looks half her age and she looks like his mother. There is absolutely no chemistry and their relationship as husband and wife is not believable at all. Her hairdresser either did an awful job on her hair or she just didn't bother to comb it. It looked unkempt. I know this is based on a true story. But this story needed better actors. I think Otis the dog is the best actor in the entire cast.

Starts Off Bad, But Wait, it Gets Worse... Whoever makes this garbage should stop and focus on something else. Wedding videos maybe? Or possibly just a new career in general because this is fraud.

With unoriginal scenes, poor acting skills, and just a terrible plot- this movie has managed to make amazed at just how AWFUL a movie can be.

By far the worst movie I've ever watched in my life If you want to waste your time, and I mean waste it to the point that there is not a single net benefit, this is your movie.

Stay away at all cost, don't waste any time on this B movie crap.

This movie is insanely terrible.

Bitter sweet considering,was one of the last tv projects of Anne's before her death.

That being said.. She didn't seem healthy,was it just me feeling this?

Granted was portraying a frantic mom,but seemed more substance induced.

Was a difficult subject matter that was portrayed,all the cast was decent enough.

I'm surprised the parents didn't go to the news channel,have the one social media savvy daughter post online & so forth.. It wasn't until many days later,they finally put up posters after the authorities didn't do much.

Felt maybe the storyline was lacking some context,but most of the acting carried things ok.. The previews made it more compelling.

Unfortunately have seen other movies,that brought said topic to light better.

Not a film interested in watching,again.. Despite Anne(RIP)being in it.
