Her Own Rules is a Lifetime TV movie about a woman who's afraid of commitment. It was made in the 90s, so there's the proverbial black friend who has no character development and is only concerned with finding her friend a love interest, and there's the slow-motion flashbacks to her childhood where everyone overacts and the lighting is weird.
Not only is it cheesy and predictable, but the big mystery of why Melissa Gilbert is so messed up because of her adoptive childhood isn't very interesting. Maybe the subject matter hit close to home for the writer, but for the audience, it's pretty boring. Not all television movies are bad, but this one is, so be sure and check your TV Guide for a more interesting flick.
