Sin of Innocence

The idea of teenagers being thrown together because of a blended family setting is interesting. The kids are embarrassed by the attraction they feel for each other and therefore don't feel comfortable talking to their respective parents about it. This means that they have to try and handle a situation they are not prepared to do. A more thorough and detailed review is not possible without spoilers so I leave it at that. My biggest complaint about the movie would be the background music. I found it to be smarmy and intrusive. It's hard to watch scenes and listen to dialogue when violins keep threatening to overtake the action.

Made-for-TV, Sin Of Innocence prudently examines the relationship between a stepbrother and sister. The very talented Meg Follows and the introduction of Dermot Mulroney to the screen are a pleasure to watch. Controlled and realistic in their approach to the characters they play and to the script. Also an added bonus is the pairing of Bill Bixby and Dee Wallace Stone as the distraught parents who have recently married.

This film gives a heartfelt look at the problems faced when two people wed and unite their families together.

Very enjoyable movie …7.5/10

P.S. I don't know why they don't release more TV films onto disc..many of them are better than the big budget cinema releases.

I absolutely loved this movie. I watch it every time it is on. The cast really did a great job. I really wanted Tim and Jenny together. Merged families create these situations all the time, but it was never talked about until this movie. At least not in my generation. Back to the characters: I really liked the thought of the young couple going on to live happily ever after. It would be great to have the remaining cast members re-unite to see what happened.

this movie came along for me at just the right time in life. I was living the movie and it was able to give me clearer perspective of my situation. While things have changed for me, I still enjoy watching the movie, it helps me relive some very happy memories.

Surprisingly good TV movie that manages to tell a good story with some taboo subject matter without being exploitative. Bill Bixby plays a widower with a teenage son (Dermot Mulroney) who marries divorced Dee Wallace who has a teenage daughter (Megan Follows). Over time the son and daughter become close and eventually develop romantic feelings for one another. Uh-oh! This doesn't go over well with the parents or Wallace's ex-husband.

They don't seem to make quality TV movies anymore like they used to. The cast is great, with the always-reliable Bill Bixby and Dee Wallace doing good work as the conflicted parents who don't know what to do with a situation like this. A young Dermot Mulroney is impressive before he would go onto bigger things. Megan Follows is wonderful. She was my primary childhood crush and I still find her adorable today. Most of her success came when she was younger but she's still working today and still a very good actress. This is not an easy movie to find but, if you're lucky, you can find it online or perhaps on a premium cable channel late at night some time, which is the last time I saw it.
