La mia piccola donna

I grew up in Linglestown, and knew Denver McDowell. The producers of this movie took great liberties with the filming. The houses Denver and the Kelloggs lived in look NOTHING like the ones in the movie. Also, the town is LinglesTOWN, not LinglesTON. I do not know enough about the situation to know who was telling the truth, but I do know it would've been nice if someone would have actually COME to Pennsylvania and researched the area. Add to that the fact that the actors look absolutely NOTHING like the real people, and it makes it just more over the top.

The writing of the movie is simply just another Lifetime movie of the week.

I survived one of those (murder trial) in l997 and understand more than the "average bear" about the our justice system.

The film shows how fast things can go horribly wrong and 'out of control' for todays youth.

This should be shown in High Schools across the country,

To: "Halfpint_7030", Yes, this is a true story based on Laurie Lee Kellogg, though only about one third of the film was accurate.

Laurie is still in prison, though we are trying relentlessly to free her and we're optimistic about the outcome.

Her mom and step dad along with her two boys Kyle and Kristopher reside in New England.

If you have any questions regarding Laurie and her current situation; you may email me whenever you desire.

Please pray for Laurie and her family; and thank you for your concern.

Does anyone know if this is a true story then what has happened to this woman now. Where are her kids and mother and step father. What about the other kids involved? What has happened to them. My daughters watched this movie with me, I thought it would help inform them about abuse and how not to handle it.

This is a wonderful movie. It shows us just how venerable we as women are in our society. Our society makes us (women) dependent on our parents and men to take care of us. People who do not believe this do not live in the real world. Women do not have the same opportunities as men in the work place, etc.

I think this movie shows just how dependent Laurie was on Bruce and just how much she loved him and wanted and needed his approval. Jennie Garth did a wonderful job portraying Laurie, as did the rest of the cast portraying the other victims involved in this "crazy abuse trap". I think every young woman in their early teens should see this movie and learn early that abuse is not normal in relationships.
