I liked the first version of this movie with Candace Cameron Bure much better. However, this version was good too. This isn't the first time LMN aired a movie about teenagers getting abused by their boyfriends. Its sort of the norm. But this one feels a little different from the rest. I'm not sure If I like the actress they picked for the main Character. It was great to see Shannen Doherty back on the small screen. She was great in the film. It was nothing special but still a little entertaining, to say the least.

Laura (Shannen Doherty) was initially fine with her daughter Sarah (Matreya Scarrwener) dating the popular cute jock Rob (Callan Potter). In the present time, Rob is on trial where Laura is testifying against him.

This is Lifetime doing the standard another girl with abusive boyfriend. I'm here for Doherty, but Scarrwener is doing the heavy lifting. She's an interesting young actress who is fully capable of this role. If it wants to do something a little off-center, it could make Nikki the lead. Of course, it could be Shannen Doherty's movie, but she's probably sick or recovering at this time. This is fine for what it is. It is also a little hard to watch at times.

This movie had some very emotional and powerful scenes. The acting was great and the movie was a great example of what domestic violence looks like in a teen relationship. I hope teenagers watch this and consider telling someone if they or one of their friends is involved in a situation like this. I hope it bring courage to many to be able to speak up. It can save lives and brings awareness to all involved.

I have watched the original version of this movie numerous times, but I would never watch this version again. Newer TV movies aren't re-watchable like the ones from the old days, but besides that, I feel this particular version was much more emotional and heavy, too much so for me.

I thought the casting of all the main players was good. I'm not understanding this theory that Fred Savage and the lastest guy to play the role were too nice looking, too innocent looking.

What does an abuser look like? Is he supposed to look rough and tough? Guys who look like nice guys can't beat the crap out of someone and make them feel horrible? Thinking like that is stupid, and obviously it isn't true.

I feel some people don't realize this movie and the original are based on a true crime, so they think it is OK to make insensitive statements.

Good update to the domestic violence for teens. I remember the older movie. Fred Savage was wrong in the first one too angelic looking.

The acting is good. The violence is quite spontaneous looking well acted and scary.

I haven't seen a serious issue Lifetime movie for a while and this is a welcome departure from the psycho thriller theme.

Nice to see Shannen so healthy and pretty again after her illness.
