Most people would just write a movie like this off as a waste of time. As for me, I actually gave this one a shot and watched 'til the very end.
I've gotta say that this is definitely a step up from the last ABC Family movie I watched, and that was three years ago: no lame stereotypes, no horrid acting, and it was very much how you would picture (no pun intended) a father-daughter relationship... the ending couldn't have been any better either... oh, and let's not forget that two cast members of Degrassi were also in this movie... that's good too.
My only real problems came in the form of the insufferable antagonists... other than that, this was very well done.
On to my trademark verdict: I give it a modest 8 out of a possible 10.
