Custody

As a fan of Rob Morrow and Kay Panabaker, I was extremely excited to hear about this movie. When it premiered, I didn't know what to expect, exactly. I expected tears because, come on, it's a Lifetime movie!!! I was a great movie of the stress that is put on a child as well as the adults. There was high points and low points, like in every great movie. There was laughter, frustration, anger, confusion, sadness, and happiness. James Denton did a great job, too. There's a great message in this movie.The characters are believable, the plot is believable. That means one thing: Great movie for all ages to watch!!!!!! Next time it's on, I recommend everyone watch it.

This story starts out with a widower(Rob Morrow) raising his young daughter(Kay Panabaker). They have a wonderful relationship full of closeness and caring, only he is keeping a startling secret: He is not her birth father. After abandoning her pregnant mother 13 years ago her birth father(James Denton) comes into her life and wants so custody. It is a very well written story that follows the natural progression hitting on various details of custody battles, but I would have like it a little better had more of the court seen had been played out. Otherwise this is a great movie. I recommend watching it with a box of tissues at your side. The acting is first class and it feels very real.

Since 2007, I watch this movie every year during Thanksgiving (in the USA). The plot and characters are very well done. A warm and touching story about family.
