IMDb Staff Picks for December

A businessman's son is kidnappped, but the kidnapper's sister-in-law and her husband are opposed to the plan. They take the boy and the ransom money to turn it over to the police, but the boy doesn't want to return home, as his father abuses him.

Dale Midkiff, Mary Page Keller, Joe Lando, and Lee Norris in Any Place But Home (1997)

If I was to vote for the cast, someone would get the whole 10. Why is it that Mary Page Keller doesn&#39;t come up more on Hollywood movies? Impossible not to fall with her... For the rest (the movie), the best that I can say is that I did not switch to the next channel each time MJK got off the scene, so... The plot was (obviously) not to thick, but also not too shallow, I guess... But, then again, &quot;Roberta&quot; was clearly the most convincing character of the lot, and the one that got me glued on to the TV set. Nice TV movie, for late night TV starers, though still not sleepy (wich is good, for the movies&#39; sake). Nothing else to say, but that one shouldn&#39;t be forced to get to the tenth line by saying that one can&#39;t find any decent (and I mean &quot;decent&quot;) photo of the beautiful Mary Page Keller. Help me, if you can...

Any Place But Home

this movie is so good and the guy lucas is so so so so hot.  so everyone should watch this great movie!!!!the movie was so great because it shows that how rich people treat their kids if they dont listen to them. but the little boy (john) would have been more comfortable with lucas and roberta.

When I recently saw the commercial on PAX, I wasn&#39;t expecting much, and frankly, the trailer made me think this was a movie about a family fleeing mobsters or in the Witness Protection program. *SPOILERS* I was pleasantly surprised to see a movie that started as a botched kidnapping and ended as an exploration of how child abuse affects lives and how the family that looks so perfect is often the most screwed up. The acting was good, and the plot kept you guessing. For the most part,the pacing was fine. I don&#39;t want to give away too many plot details--having them unfold is part of the charm of this movie. My only complaints are minor ones: I thought the sister- and brother-in-law were drawn in too broad a &quot;White trash/redneck doofus&quot; stereotype mode; the ending was too abrupt; and on a personal level, I&#39;m tired of seeing movies where the only way the writers can prove that a character has worked through a trauma or solved a personal problem is to announce that they want to have a baby--(especially when all the parents in this movie proved in ways big and small that reproduction is no proof of being mature or well-adjusted.) Those carpings aside, the main couple had good chemistry, most of the cast had &quot;good acting chops&quot;, and it was a pleasant and often touching way to spend two hours.

I recently saw this movie (on Pax TV) it sure kept me glued to my seat  and I thought it was well done thriller (although since Joe lando used to play on Dr. Quinn -I kept think we would see Jane Seymour!) but I thought the boy who played John was wonderful portrayed
