    Oh, come on....

    Look, Her Hidden Truth was not hideously bad. It was, in essence, a sappy Lifetime movie, but I doubt that it was supposed to be anything more. Let's be honest, Lifetime movies have never been too concerned with long-term psyches, preferring to focus more on the trauma of a certain time period.

    I watched this movie because a) it had Kellie Martin in it and she played one of my favorite ER characters and b) it had Reed Diamond in it (mmmm! Kellerman, *swoon*). I am not regretting my decision to watch it at all. It was well worth watching the scenes with Reed Diamond in the pool. It's one of those things that one watches as an alternative to a rainstorm, not as something you would expect to be a masterpiece of film making. You want something like that, watch To Kill a Mockingbird.

    I honestly don't regret seeing it, and would see it again. (one only really gets to see Reed Diamond in re-runs of Homicide) My advice: take it as fun, I highly doubt that it was supposed to be much more.

    Love this movie and still do

    I loved this movie.Thrilling and romantic at the same time. Wondered when it comes out on DVD. Let me now if it does. Have been looking for the DVD since 1996. Should be scripted a little more fun between them and some more heart to heart talks. isn't easy being alone in the world missing the mother and no one to turn to. Should have some more tricks and excitement up it sleeves. It was fabulous as it is. listen to your girls. Good communication is the best way. they both are great in this movie.don't ever cover up your own crime by blaming others, it always comes back to bite your ass. good luck in making movies to make us entertained, but don't forget that you are only human.

    Since when do 10 year olds get wrongfully accused and go to jail?

    This movie's plot was totally warped! Kellie Martin plays this girl who recently got out of a woman's (yes, an adult's) prison that she's been in since she was 10. She wanted an early release and it got denied. And she ecsapes to prove her innocence, and gets help from Antoino Sabato Jr: The only reason why I even bothered to watch this celluloid piece of trash!

    What were Allison Porter's parents thinking when they made her be in this movie only to play a little girl on trial for an arson killing she didn't commit? That's child exploitation!!! You never hear about girls that age go to jail for anything! I guess it's because of that 'Jerry Springer' mentallity that has souped-up plots for Made-for-TV movies such as this to entice people to watch such garbage. I still can't get that scene where we see a 10 year old Billie Calhoun on trial out of my head.

    Every time she gets closer and close to getting the truth about who burned down her house that killed her Mom and sister, another murder happens, and then another, and another! > In my opinion, this movie didn't even have an ending! It was obvious that poor Billie Calhoun was going to be truamtized for life because of this!

    If they want to make a Made-For-TV movie about a 10 year old girl, who not have the girl strive to become a piano virtouso, or a woman's league baseball player? Not be accused of a crime and then years later, escape to prove her innocence!

    One of the worst lines was: "I grew up in a prison. That wasn't easy, either"! What were they thinking????

    "Her Hidden Truth" is and will be in my opinion one of the "Worst Movies of all Time". It should be in one of those "Bad Movie" books. In the meantime, I'm going to see a better movie: "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!" :)

    I enjoyed this movie and I'm not afraid to tell you that.

    I really enjoyed this movie and everyone who didn't should just ignore it and go their separate ways. It was wonderfully acted (props to Kellie Martin, Reed Diamond, Antonio Sabado Jr., and everyone affiliated with this production) and beautifully directed. If you didn't enjoy it, as I said before, keep it to yourself and let others share their joy. Have a nice day! ;)

    OK movie

    OK this movie ur right wasn't any kinda blockbuster but guys it had Antonia Sabator Jr in it....ENOUGH SAID. i think they could have played the romantic link abit more to get those juices flowing!! at the mouth if ur wondering! i don't know maybe it was just me but i kinda felt it was sooooooooooooooooo plainly obvious who Jack Deveroux's character was meant to be. it took them long enough to find it was Billie's mum's lover. one flaw i found, however minor, but i laughed it off was that after spending a decade in a 'juvi' when she went in at the tender age of 10, when she came out, she had the ability to drive a car, without stalling the car once!!!! now either she's super duper knowledgeable about how to drive a car without actually having to sit in one to learn,or they've started spoiling the inmates at the juvi and started giving them driving lessons!! u decide! all in all i liked this movie...because of Antonia yes!
