NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

guil fisher Plot done over and over and over again. This one no different than any other. Evil woman who gets away with murder and empty headed men who go along with the stupidity. Again we're supposed to believe women can be evil and men can be patsies. Brett Merryman wrote this crap and Steve Antin directed not so good actors. Angie Harmon gets boring along the way with this constant evil stare all the time. Joel Gretsch as her doting vacant husband goes around whining all the time. Then there's the children played by Jordan Hinson and Bobby London. London spends most of the time sick in bed and Hinson seems to be running around in circles looking for a way out. But never seems to find the door. Jason London plays a detective without a clue. Of course he gets it from the witch mother. So there you have it. A trite not so original LMN movie with the same theme, the same bitchy women, and the same weak men. Typical LMN crap.

whpratt1 This film deals with two children, Abby Snow,(Jordan Hinson) and her bother, Ethan Snow,(Bobby Coleman) who are adopted by a husband and wife. These two children become very happy with their new home and parents and things start to change. Abby begins to suspect some very dark secrets that her mother has in her room. Abby also finds out that her brother Ethan is becoming ill and she fears for her life. Eve Goode, (Angie Harmon) plays the role as the mother of Abby and Ethan and gives an outstanding performance as a rather moody and depressed mother who controls her children as if they were intruders. There is plenty of suspense and thrilling moments in this film and it is well produced and directed.

jboyaquar When a sequel is direct to video and ups the ante to a 'R' rating, shouldn't the audience hope for a more salacious and violent viewing experience? Unfortunately, with the perpetually stern and severe, though gorgeous, Angie Harmon starring, those hopes are laid to rest. Whereas the original was proud of its B-roots and had an excellent slimy, perverted performance from Stellan Skaarsgaard...this film actually wants the audience to take the plot of a grieiving mother gone overprotective gone crazy, seriously. The original had a PG-13 rating, and yet delighted in ingénue Leelee Sobieski's nubile, well-developed frame while providing its audience with delightful action and a propulsive narrative. In this poor sequel, we get a whiny prudish protagonist, very little violence, and stultefyingly lame tension. The original was set in that amazingly austere cold house, made of actual glass. "The Glass House 2: the Good Mother" instead employs its characters in an adobe-styled Spanish château, which leads me to the poor choice of cinematography. The allegiance to using a gold-hued tint to add Latina flair to the visuals was poor decision-making especially considering the milquetoast energies enemating from the acting crew. (There are white people still in Cali, y'know.) I like Joel Gretsch, but when Jason London has more inner force than any of the other talent, "Houston, we may have a problem."

TequilaMockingbird63 First before I start with my comment I have to say I oddly have NEVER seen Angie Harmon (who plays the mother/wife Eve Goode) act. but WOW, I WAS IMPRESSED and will look for her in future. Looking amazingly like Ali MacGraw in Love Story she was beautiful yet calculating, creepy and just plain deranged. A perfect female villain ala Fatal Attraction meets Psycho meets The Stepford Wives. Things begin innocently enough with a mysterious disappearance of a little boy, the son of seemingly loving parents but before long we sense not all is right with this mother. Lets just say she loves her cleaning supplies! We next meet two children who have apparently just lost their parents and (although a little unclear in the plot) are Fostered by the mourning parents "the Goodes" (clever title juxtaposition). Before long Eves evil ways start to show (the dish washing scene is particularly disturbing) the Teenage girl clashes with the tight "house rules" and as her little brother begins to mysteriously get sick the rebellious protective sister's suspicion begins. WARNING ****PROBABLY CONTAINS BIG SPOILERS***** Based on characters created by Wesley Strick (who wrote the screenplay for "Cape Fear" and "Arachnophobia") I was intrigued to research Munchausen's Syndrome or Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy. the disease we find the creepy lead character "may" have.Background on the disease: From 1972 to 1985, all 9 children of Marybeth Tinning of Schenectady, N.Y. died in infancy. At first, friends and physicians assumed they were victims of "crib death" or an inexplicable genetic flaw. As the deaths continued, suspicion mounted against the mother, who was always alone when her babies were stricken. It's oddly more common than people are aware. basically Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy is where women kill their own children for the attention they receive. This was a pretty good film but i have to say a few things frustrated me - number 1 - why would hubby played by the handsome Joel Gretsch go along and seemingly "cover" his wife's psychotic behavior as if he was almost an accomplice and 2, why the Caseworker (played by a very likable Tasha Smith) did not pick up the fact apparently "several" kids have died or gone missing under the care of this couple. Enjoyable enough it will be worth watching as a Movie of the Week on Television someday. 7 out of 10 stars.
