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

Lifetime let me down with this one. This movie was VERY boring. I considered turning it off several times. The movie lacks a plot. In addition, I was not sure what the focus was; the death of the patriarch or the chaos the kids created. This truly was a waste of film. And, my time.

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.

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.

A quality project with excellent compelling acting by all. You can tell that theis was a labor of love. I loved the books by Richard Carlson and enjoyed hearing his wife's story after the sudden tragedy that befell them. Thank you for making this inspiring movie.

What was supposed to be a dramatic scene of a wife being told about the death of her husband over the phone by a doctor had me laughing instead. Is this really the way the medical profession tells loved ones over the phone of a family member's death? "Your husband has expired" is just so cold and makes him sound like a credit card. Besides that unintentional comic part, the rest of the movie came off amateurish and boring. I love Heather Locklear, but she deserved a better movie than this.
