Mon enfant a disparu

I give it 2 for at least attempting to tell an important story and raise awareness, but if it wasn't dealing with such a serious issue and I was rating it as a movie alone, it would have to be 0/10.

Much has been written here about Rohm's accent, and as a film fan and someone who dated a Texan, I have to say I was quite shocked. In fact, I am quite convinced many of the words coming out of her mouth were spoken by someone else, or dubbed afterwards. Either way, it was unconvincing to put it mildly.

As a fan of Angel and having watched every episode at least 3 times, I am very familiar with Rohm. I happen to think her performance as Kate Lockley was excellent, so I disagree with the "she can't act" opinions. However she certainly didn't act here, and nor was she alone in that.

The only performance in this movie worth mentioning was that of Jodelle Ferland, who is one of the best child actors around. If she gets the right parts, she will be an Academy award winner, or I'll eat my hat.

Watch it if you want to learn about Amber's story, but don't watch it for entertainment value.

Some of you think that the acting was awful, you insult Elisabeth Rohm, you insult everyone else. I for one have to say, no it wasn't the best show, but you know, the girl who played Amber had a pretty good accent, and I found she was the one who made it worth watching frankly, disagree if you wish but this is my opinion and I think that everyone is entitled to have one. I have to disagree with the things said about the little girls... the actresses who played Amber and Nichole in this film were 12 and 11 when they shot this, so to say that they did well for their age is almost to imply they are six or seven. I met the girl who plays Amber and she said that she was like 5'1 when she shot it,( I'm a friend of the family) I don't think it mattered much because isn't Elisabeth like 5'9 or something? Anywho... the writing wasn't all that bad but,still it was obviously a low budget Lifetime project. That's my opinion :) bye

I thought the acting was a bit amateurish. I am originally from Arlington, TX and the accent that Elisabeth Rohm CLAIMED to have had was way too over dramatic. You could tell that it was fake. There wasn't enough acting out of the little girl who played Amber to really comment. I thought the story told as much as it could. Especially if the killer still hasn't been found, there is only so much you can tell. I was actually wondering what else they were gonna put into this movie. I hadn't even heard about little Nichole until this movie and for her kidnapper to only get 5 years??? What kind of justice is that! He COULD have hurt her and wanted to, I for sure thought he was gonna rape her. But thanks to Amber, he didn't have time to do anything! I thought this was a very well told story of what really happened to Amber. I hope they find her killer.

I highly doubt you are who you say you are, but for argument sake if you are...I'm here to tell you that this movie wasn't meant to portray your father in a light you see fit. This movie was a dedication to Amber and her story and how her tragic death gave many children a chance to live due to the amber alert being used across the country. Its a movie of course its dramatized that's why it says BASED on a true story. Get over yourself! This movie was excellent, the acting was excellent, and the story was tragic and should have never of happened. My heart goes out to Amber and her family....This movie should run more often it will be airing on lifetime July 11

Honestly, very sad story. Very tragic outcome for this family, and it is still so heartbreaking many years later.

But, you'd think with how serious a crime and how devastating a loss this was for the family that they'd have done a better job with the script, and the cast, and the direction of the film.

Everyone knows the accents were bad. Particularly that of Ambers Mom. Atrocious. Maybe if the accents were better, it would've improved the film. Sad they didn't honor the story better.
