Have You Seen My Son

This is a quite an entertaining movie about a divorced mom who goes through highs and lows, in the country of Mexico, to find her son who has been abducted by her ex-husband.

The acting wasn't bad and I thought the pace of the plot gain much momentum. Just the the main objective of the mother going through foreign lands and going through hoops and obstacles to find her son is pretty captivating. The subplot of her racing against time because of her son's poor health due to asthma adds onto the story's excitement.

It is, of course, not the greatest movie out there, but is by far not one of the worst. It is kind of refreshing to see a thrilling drama movie, especially a made-for-TV one, that is not one of those sappy, puppy love romance flicks or action/adventure wannabes. Instead, it is a nice story that shows the heights and sacrifices a mother would take to rescue her son - a strong showing of a mother's love for her child.

Grade B

A day late and a dollar short cops forces a mother to do the legwork searching for her kidnapped son. It's always a pleasure to see Lisa Hartman. The supporting cast is excellent also.

This movie was the most illogical and stupid movie EVER made. If the FBI would have been called in once it was officially a kidnapping, the movie would have been over in 20 minutes and all of the people involved would have been in jail. Instead, the people searching for the kidnapped kid, bumble their way through two hours of absolutely unpredictable stupidity.

ACE, ACE, ACE! I GOT SICK OF HIS MOTHER SAYING ACE! THE FATHER ISN'T GONNA LET HIM DIE FROM HIS ILLNESS! SHE IS TOO MUCH! ACE ACE ACE ACE! ENOUGH ALREADY!

Without saying anything more, let me just tell you that this movie includes a "high speed" chase down a river on two non-motorized dingys (rafts). Draw your own conclusions.
