    Interesting Point of View

    Having part of this story told from Emily's point of view is interesting. We realize she committed suicide and was troubled, but the depth of her sadness and her reasoning even after her death is something not seen in many movies involving teen suicide.

    It is also refreshing to see Megan Mullally do something other than Karen from Will & Grace.

    I also find the other characters to have their own secrets after Emily's death, things they keep to themselves until they are discovered by another member of the family.

    More heartbreaking is the division of 2 close families already rocked by this girl's suicide.

    I asked Lifetime's site to remind me when this movie is on again so I can record it.

    Excellent Telemovie

    "The Pact" starring Megan Mullally was an excellent television movie. I was surprised to see Megan play such a dramatic role because I was so used to her as Karen Walker on "Will&Grace",in which she plays a funny character.Megan Mullally is such a wonderful actress in this movie."The Pact" sends a strong message about an issue many teens might be thinking of. Overall, I give "The Pact" 4 stars because it's a very good movie.

    Great movie!

    I love this movie so much. Everything from the story line to the cast are wonderful and keep you hooked until the closing credits. Oh and I am a Megan Mullally fan and she did not disappoint me. I am used to seeing her in comedic roles but thought she made Melanie Gold (a challenging part in my eyes) lovable and real. I could relate to her and felt her loss. I wish she would star in more movies.

    Also I really think this movie should have got more publicity... If you like movies like 'virgin suicides' then you'll love this! It's a movie you don't forget in a hurry and leaves you thinking. I hope you enjoy it as much as me :o)

    Disappointing

    When I first heard about this movie I thought it would be great. When I saw that it was based on a book, I was even more thrilled. But I made one mistake. I read the book first. And that clouded my opinion of the movie. If you've read the book don't bother to see the movie. It will only disappoint you. (Save for the eye candy that is Eric Lively) But if you're completely new to the story line, watch the movie first then read the book. Then you'll see exactly what I meant. Don't get me wrong, the story itself is wonderful, I just prefer the un-edited, un-cut book version.

    Oscar quality film and acting

    I thought this film would be initially a Lifetime typical film. It is not. It is a riveting tragedy about 2 young lovers and 2 families torn apart by a suicide pact between their children. Eric Lively as Chris is Oscar contention worthy in this film. Also, Megan Mullaly is amazing. The acting tears your heart out. This movie and it's actors are excellent. I just wish it was on more often to see.
