i liked it,for the most part.yes,it isn't exactly fast paced,but it is watchable.plus,the performances are quite good here.Lysette Anthony is excellent in her role,with a nearly flawless American accent.Kevin Dillon is good as the villain.and it's nice to see Nick Mancuso in a non bad guy role for a change.i'll admit the movie isn't completely realistic,but i felt it was at least in the bounds of acceptability.it's only during the last 15 minutes minutes or so,when things get quite stupid and even absurd.but up to that point,thanks to some strong performances,i thought it was good.not great,but good.all in all,Misbegotten rates about a 6/10 from me.
