Les secrets d'une mère

Mom goes to an ATM and the currency is shown as Rs ! What is that ? Just asking since I don't know. Unbelievable writing, very painful acting, sometimes stupid dialogues, terribly jarring background score. Robbing banks couldn't be easier. Every time she gets away , well not murdering ! A wooden stump would have acted better than the dumb mother and daughter. Daughter escapes from the den with her brother , but mobsters just give up. Usually in other movies mobsters go out with blazing guns. What happened to those thugs ? And that bouncer ! He simply let a woman go in and he was not to be seen doing anything when the sister runs out of the den with her brother. Overall badly done movie. Watch only if you feel lazy to search for a better movie. . !

Lifetime makes some very low budget movies...but really?.....it took 4 "writers" to bring this monstrosity to the screen......did Lifetime hire some grade school kids to write this thing? Actually attaching their names to this title speaks volumes of their obviously lack of talent, and probably means you will run into them in the soup line on any given day....talentless bums.....all or some probably have some production company or fancy themselves as teachers/instructors.....if you see their name as a teacher or production company.....RUN!!!!

The secret that is. So you may know Charisma Carpenter from her role in the Buffy TV show. She grew up - well she matured. She can't play a teenager anymore obviously and unfortunately probably only gets weird roles likes this one more often than not. She was a side character in one of the Expandables movies. But other than that, you probably didn't see her in much.

And I would suggest that you shouldn't watch her in this either. Not really worth your time (even if you consider one "twist" towards the end). Weak script, drama of the week, overall rather generic and weak in the dialog department. I won't judge the actors by one performance, but one thing is for sure, this isn't their best work (I know for sure when it comes to Charisma and I hope the same to be true for the others)

Horrible movie. I would have enjoyed it more if the plot had them all die in the end. At least it would have been an unpredictable plot twist. Don't waste your time. Also like everyone says, the dramatic score throughout the film was unbearable. Not the best acting, but hey everyone is so pretty and handsome. And wholesome. Sometimes I wish in a campy movie like this I wish that when you have too much time invested in the movie to quit I wish the actors would break character and look into the camera and make fun of the movie itself, the acting job they got, and maybe you for watching it. At least the bit of unexpected comedy would break the cringe.

Of course there were huge holes in this plot and the inept police and FBI who were responsible for arresting the real mobster were laughable. I found the soccer star daughter Denise (Sarah Grey) most irritating from the opening scene when she starts asking her mother Anne (Cahrisma Carpenter) a continuous stream of endless and curious questions about her mother's activities and receives double talk from Anne.

Mom and two (2) teenagers lost their father a year ago but they somehow are able to maintain a lifestyle in their multi million dollar estate home on mom's part time jobs of being a hair dresser and casserole maker.

Most irritating about this made for TV movie was the background dramataic soap operatic music score which had the reverse effect on me to maintain a level of suspense. Really? As bad as I am making this movie out to be, and the dialogue is near bearable it does have a few twists and turns and a happy ending so it is an okay time waster.
