Don't Sweat the Small Stuff: The Kristine Carlson Story

This film is about life. It is about difficult change and transition out of nowhere in important times of ones life. This film is about the not so glamorous parts of life. But it is real. It is genuine. The characters feel real. This feels like a real life experience.

Despite being a lifetime movie it is still big budget quality. Every actor plays their role just fine and even has show stopping performances. If you want a heart pulling story, this is the movie.

...because I have been a fan of Heather way back in the 80's and 90's and have read the book, Don't sweat the small stuff at the time it first came out. It was nice to see Heather back in the game and I thought she did great in her performance. The two daughters performed very well too. I don't watch Lifetime movies because they are generally geared for younger viewers but wanted to watch this one because of Heather and the Carlson book. It's a genuine and heartfelt movie. If you are a fan of Heather or have read the book, watch it...I didn't feel I wasted my time on it. Six stars.

I read his books and never knew he died. I was shocked. I was interested in his story and this movie with Heather Locklear. She did a wonderful job and glad she is doing so well and back at work. I thought we might lose her.

Her problems mirrored my sisters, with medications mixed with alcohol, after menopause and depression. It's the perfect storm. She survived and so did Heather. It takes a lot of work. Happy to see you Heather. Congrats on your engagement. Your daughter seems really sweet.

The movie was good, worth watching if you liked Richard's books, and to see Heather act again. Lifetime movies aren't for everyone.

Nothing happens, it's a waste of time and is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Husband dies and a wealthy self-important widow has to live in the real world by arranging a funeral and raising her spoiled daughters alone. That's about it really.

Heather locklear was great in this movie.u can just, Put yourself in her place.[f course Heather's looks change but her acting was way better ...> cried.and it was a true story.
