    Sick and tired of watching annoying brats on screen

    If you have ever wanted to cheer for the demise of characters then this is your movie. Typical crap of the single mom wearing it like a badge of honor and raising a snot faced brat of a child. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. SAVE YOURSELF... do NOT NOT NOT bother.

    Cynthia Gibb always plays the same type of character. She is always that victimized woman turning things around in her life. It is SO predictable. Boo-hoo for the mom caught between yet another "uncle" for her child. Boo-hoo for the legacy of a single mom being brought up by a single mom. Boo-hoo for the resulting brat... and horrible little actress too boot. There isn't much worse out there to watch.

    Made for TV

    So this is the type of movie which was made for television and would have aired on one of the major stations, so don't expect it to be a theater type movie. No language or nudity issues. Some violence, but overall a good movie for ages teen and up.

    Really?

    I agree the director was asleep during this film. What plane crash causes bark chips from a chainsaw to fall off a snapped off tree? I'm a woman and the first thing I noticed was the indisrepencies in the plane "crash". Do the filmmakers think we won't notice?? Not a believable movie at all. Now I'm just watching it for fun to see what else was missed.

    Huh?

    This was one of the dumbest movies I've ever watched. I gave it 2 stars because at least it gave my 8 year old son and I a good laugh at its stupidity and inconsistency. Seriously, was the director on crack? ...or just stupid? Helpful bears, howling wolves that no one seemed concerned about, snow in one scene but not in the next, the old flash drive in the teddy bear trick, Alaska officers driving to the plane crash in the the Canadian wilderness.

    Gee, if I were in a plane crash in the wilderness, I'd light a smokey fire and wait. I don't think I'd "head east" because a 13 year old girl thinks there might be a town in that direction. Guess that wouldn't make for much of a storyline though.

    ...and how about the review that praised the movie for showing the delicate balance a woman with a teen girl has to go through if she wants a rich, go-getter boyfriend. Get real.

    Woeful utter trash

    Complete waste of 2 hours of my life.

    The " Alaskan"scenery wasn't even any good.

    Poor acting and just painful to watch the annoying brat trying to be so clever.

    I'm not sure why I actually watched this. Think I'm still hungover LOL

      Claire's "insulin pump" is really a One Touch UltraSmart meter, not a pump at all.
    • Goofs
      Ranger Strickland tells her party that they are in Inuit Indian land. This is a Canadian film, set in Canada, but clearly aimed at US audiences. The only US state with Inuit is Alaska. Regardless, Inuit are not, and do not, identify as 'Indians.' In Canada, there are no 'Indians,' but rather First Nations Canadians, Metis and Inuit.
