A Mother's Sacrifice

One of, if not the worst, of these fashionable modern daytime dramas. They seem to be everywhere these days and I'm assuming they must be cheap to make, or why bother?

Usual clapped-out 'mother and daughter don't get along' relationship as the mother is too controlling and the daughter wants her 'freedom' story, which culminates in the daughter going missing.

Nobody believes the mum, least of all the police, and she realises she has to find the daughter on her own.

I'm not a fan of these newer tv dramas as they seem to be similar: generic plots, tired scripts, uninventive camerawork and stale direction. Most of these TV movies are bad but this one seems to stand out from the rest because of its sheer awfulness.

The main problem with this particular effort is the acting. I couldn't find one decent, believable performance with one actress being completely dubbed and the other English actress giving one of the most atrociously wooden performances I've ever seen. She really needs a new career.

The rest is just dross. Kirsty Swanson, never the best of actresses, in the lead isn't much better.

Steer clear of this one. Unless you like watching painfully bad acting......????

Unbelievably bad acting and the actress who played Rose should definitely think about a new career as she certainly can't act. Diabolical film.

Just don't waste your time. Appalling acting, script, story etc etc

Are they serious ? I cannot believe the absolute rubbish that I have just watched. Kristy Swanson cannot act, but she can certainly SHOUT ! It is an insult to anybody's intelligence to expect them to watch this really dreadful stuff. I am actually angry at myself for staying with it, usually when something is so bad, I can see the funny side , but not this time !! This movie should never have made it to the screen, when,, probably ,some decent movies have been shelved, and real talent not given a chance. As you can guess this movie REALLY annoyed me . Please do not watch it, it doesn't deserve any airtime !!

And by the way , what did the title mean?

What Sacrifice ?

I don't know where exactly to start. The acting - non existent. The plot - huh? Kristen Swanson!? Retire!! Terrible actress, terrible film.
