Steineded How sad is this?
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
edwagreen It would take only an emotional bond as this one depicted in the film that could make this a film at all.The premise is good that a young woman, with 2 failed marriages and a tendency to land into trouble, bonds with her daughter as the two flee for 9 years.It is only the love that the girl had for her wayward mother, this would allow her to stay with her bad mother. When the girl got older, she could have left but she didn't.The picture begins to go awry when the mother, Joely Richardson, marries an attorney. When their marriage goes southward, she kills him. It appeared that the guy had 9 lives by the way that at the beginning she can't kill him, no matter what she does. This really became silly. The ending is not, but you probably knew that this was coming.
angus1692 Well i loved this movie. i should warn you now my spelling is not very good but should be OK. here goes! i saw this movie on cable. i didn't think it would be very good but turns out it was really good. And based on true stories! Very interesting and i think there are messages in there, things people should notice. i wont give it away but you really need to watch this film! This is only 99mins long but is fantastic! i really do believe so. The mother, Laren Sims is a con artist, master of disguise and moves from state to state with her young daughter until the hit Vegas Nevada! She marries a wealthy Atterney and has some problems. the mother just wanted her child to have a good education and not end up like her. and the marriage has some problems like when he gets drunk, and he finds her past and so she decides to well, get rid off him!
BreanneB This movie was excellent. I just bought the d.v.d. Thursday night. Costumes, acting, production, script, directing, and photography is great. I give this movie 10 out of 10 stars.The mother, Lara, was a self-centered, rotten, spoiled brat who did whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted, and had no consideration for the welfare of others. She stole people's id's, killed her husband, and betrayed her family. She deserved what she got in the end. The slaps on the wrists she got before obviously did not teach her a lesson.Kudos to the cast, crew, and filmmakers. Two Thumbs Way Up! Excellent Movie!
Bob Peterson This movie was directed by Christian Duguay who also directed "The Art of War." I heard that this movie was "inspired by true events." Which I thought was pretty interesting! It had Joely Richardson (Nip/Tuck) and Hayden Panettierre who, at a very young age, has been in a lot of movies! I found myself into the characters pretty good. At first, I liked the mom but I didn't like the fact that she lied all the time. Later on in the movie, you really kind of hated the mom who turns on her daughter and ends up lying to her as well! This is one movie that I thought was going to be awful but actually ended up being decent enough to watch! If you like a good drama, watch this one!!
