A Mother's Suspicion

This is not terrible. There re better movies, but it is a story of a girl with issues and a bratty boy that fills a void in her life. Also the struggle of the mom. Many reviews have trashed this movie. But over all it was not bad. It is a made for TV movie and is not supposed to be a block-buster.

It was adequately written, directed and acted. I actually knw of a situation that is very similar to this. So it is not far fetched.

For a movie to watch at home for free, its worth the time.

Family Friendly? Teen Suicide, teen psychological issues and depression. Very little mention of illegal drugs or alcohol. Very little smoking. No bad language Two unmarried persons having a conversation in bed, so there is inference of sexual behavior, but it is not shown. These two are engaged.

Terrible script, terrible actors/actresses & a waste of time.. Only watched this because there was nothing on TV so I settled for this disaster.. Not sure why anyone would decide to air this with terrible acting & script; the only decent actor in this terrible movie was Jedidah Goodacre..

I didn't like the story at all I mean think about it she's a lawyer yet she's going about doing all this stuff without telling anybody about it, except the Man's brother who she suspects. Sometimes I cannot watch shows because it's just so ridiculous she's on the phone with the man yet she doesn't tell him where she is. The movie is almost over yet still I feel I just want to turn it off because it's so typical what's going to happen

Really crappy story, everything was so predictable and clichéd, fights were dull and clues ridiculously stupid. Don't recommend. Bad acting too

A young couple chain themselves to a light cement block and hold hands on a bridge, overlooking some dangerous water. Apparently, they jump. Six months earlier, we meet sourpuss Paloma Kwiatkowski (as Emily Yates). The 18-year-old college freshman is sullen most of the time, leading her lawyer mother Lindsay Hartley (as Jill) to believe Ms. Kwiatkowski may be off her medication. Kwiatkowski is depressed and has an aversion to water (or, she did, previous to the opening teaser). One thing that we see cheering Kwiatkowski up is bad blond boyfriend Jedidiah Goodacre (as Gary Smith). A handsome young security officer, Mr. Goodacre works better than medication. When they meet, Goodacre turns off Ms. Hartley with his bad table manners...

Directed by Paul Shapiro and written by Stephen Lyons, this is a very predictable "Lifetime" TV drama. They handle the assignment successfully. The basic plot, which has been recycled many times, reinforces the demographic viewers' perception that a daughter's boyfriend is usually bad news. To compare and contrast, mother Hartley is given handsome new bed-partner Dan Payne (as Connor Hodges). The younger couple steal the show by offering a nice variety of nasty, sullen, moody, pouty and scowling looks. Hartley is out to there. Of the supporting players, police officer brother James Pizzinato (as Ritchie Smith) shows a good range; when he over-telegraphs, it's due to a lingering camera. The movie is full of stupidity, but it is fun to watch.
