Rather predictable LMN movie with a particularly good performance by Laurie Fortier.

After seeing this movie, I have the following thoughts:

1. Keep away from abusive spouses.

2. Leave your best friend's kid alone.

3. Take some sedatives if you are tense - don't act out.

Have a couple of drinks and enjoy the movie.

A lot of folks like to bad mouth Lifetime movies but for the most part, I find them to be tolerable, "pass the time" type movies. I can usually give them between 4 and 6 stars not this one.

This is just bad acting, bad writing and the music is too loud. The acting is soo, soo, soo bad. Everything is overdone and over exaggerated. I feel like a real trooper for having made it through the whole film.

You've been warned.

First of all, the music is WAY too much and WAY too LOUD. LMN continues to amp up the score of every film they air, but this one is a perfect example of how a movie can be OVER scored. It's almost unwatchable. Producers- are you reading??

Dialogue (as bad as it is here) is going to convey narrative and emotion, not the never ending music. That should be used as a bare minimum supporter, always.

Framing, camera work, direction- everything was less than the acceptable standard on this network.

And the acting-unfortunate. It's a far cry LMNs stand out thrillers. This was simply amateur.

Just bad acting all around . They should've rehearsed first. Let's not talk about the background music through every scene , I couldn't even hear what they were saying Most of the time. I only kept watching to see how it would end. Wouldn't watch again . 2/10 and that's a generous rating.

Lifetime Network seems to be more concerned about releasing as many films as possible, quantity not quality ! Before 2015 their movies were much better.

Also, many newer unknown amateur actors are in the current movies.

Lifetime Network used to have great films with good stories, plots and decent well known TV actors. Ashley Jones was pathetic with the grilled cheese sandwich. That's when I turned it off.

I couldn't disagree more with the earlier reviewer. I found "Saving My Daughter" to be a tightly knit, fast-moving thriller, well worth seeing, competently directed by Michael Feifer and with a complex script by Michael Perronne that gave even the villains understandable motives for their actions. The film's energy flags a bit after the big revelation two-thirds of the way through, but the plot resolution is effective and believable, and Alicia Hayes Willis as Joanna gives us a powerful performance as a revenge-driven woman. This is Lifetime firing on all cylinders and turning in an exciting and fully believable movie - a real surprise coming from as ordinarily a mediocre filmmaker as Michael Feifer.

Maybe, just maybe I would give it 2-3 stars but because of the annoying and irritating way too loud music it's not even worth this one star. I hardly could hear and understand what they were saying at times.

Besides that this movie is sort of "watchable" if one has totally nothing else to do. Also.. unbelievable silly plot.

As the director of Saving My Daughter I'm proud to say that after several months of hard work, and God knows it wasn't easy, we pulled off such a great masterpiece that everyone can be proud of. A great thanks to all actors and actresses who made that possible and I'm here to announce to our hundreds of thousands of fans that a sequel is on its way and will be released during summer. Thanks to your support the dream of a sequel has now become reality.

To those who haven't watched it yet, guys, gals, you are missing something very special that will profoundly change your life forever. You're gonna become a much different and better person because of it. I'm not making light promises. You will. It's time to watch it. It's time to change your life. My pleasure.

Terrible storyline, horrible acting . I watched , thinking it would get better, it didn't. Newer lifetime movies are pretty bad .

Every single person in this movie is just terrible at acting how are they even actors they are just terrible did I mentioned that.

Good movie. Bit weird in beginning kid disappeared but they never said how they her back. I was a little confused Love the song at the end. Anyone know what it is.

The Cast Was So Good and It Is Was A Amazing Movie.
