Summary: DEEP DRAMA
Review: Trust me-----this does NOT play like a TV movie. It is a well written story about a mother of 3 who has her youngest boy kidnapped from her. Michelle Pfieffer's performance was great as always----but the REAL star of this movie was Ryan Merriman (as her son, Ben Cappadora). Such talent and emotion for someone so young.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A contrived story - what a let down...
Review: Typical for movie of the week, but dissappointing as a rental. It starts out fairly good, but once the mother realizes her son may be gone for good (a gripping scene) the story goes flat. Great choice of actors, but the two young actors playing the brothers are more interesting than the adult characters.

The story gives you things to think about in the given situation, but otherwise did not hold much interest. I felt more compassion for the boy and his adopted father who had to be separated. The idea that in all of Chicago the boy happens to be found within 2 blocks of home after nearly 10 years is not plausible. They apparently have one police station for the entire Metropolitan area (hardly). Also, it seems Whoopi Goldberg handles all police related work for the inner city (downtown Chicago) plus the suburban area where the family lives. Whoopi, you've got your hands full there!

Filming from the start wasn't consistent. They take a family picture by the blooming spring lilacs and then get in the car and drive to Chicago. Along the way you see magnificent autumn color. That must be a long drive from Madison, Wisconsin to Chicago...

Nine years later after Thanksgiving you see the same autumn color that would have been long gone by Thanksgiving in Wisconsin. This must be what's called "creative license". If the story had been more compelling to watch I probably would have missed such faux pas. I hung in to see how it would end. No surprise there - movie over / start the 11 o'clock news.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: not predictable
Review: Very good movie. Kid is stolen, Mom goes crazy, family becomes a mess. Kid is found but its all unpredictable. Rent it and see how the story unfolds.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good film about WHAT IF
Review: What if your child was kidnapped... And then, WHAT IF, miracle of all miracles, he came back home years later? Yeah, not the joy and roses you think it would be. It's so much more complicated than that. I didn't want to see this film because I thought it would another film that would wring me out like the old movie--whose name escapes me right now... but the whole film the kid is missing until the end. GOod movie, but an emotional investment. Anyway, this isn't that at all. A truly good film.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring!
Review: Why would Whoopi Goldberg be starring in such a stupid movie, and why would Alexa Vega starring in this movie. I can't believe this movie was ever made.
