Better than 99% of all hollywood & Netflix big budget movies. The story, casting, moral lessons are top notch; this is a very edifying movie, the whole crew should be proud... Also, Nicole is a great lady who showed love and maturity throughout the whole story arc. Better than 99% of all hollywood & Netflix big budget movies.

It's supposed to be based on a true story but it comes across as unrealistic. The woman seeking custody of her son is confronted in court by her OWN lawyer! That just didn't seem fair of him to react like this towards his client. Also the way the lawyer comes across is rather eccentric and scruffy. It doesn't seem reasonable to make a comic relief character in a serious lifetime drama. Now the rest is predictable. I find the wife of the man who has this affair with the main protagonist isn't realistic either. Why would a spurned wife get involved and want the child that her cheating husband had with a random trollop he met in a bar. I actually feel very sorry for the kid, because he was pulled between two parents and ended up suffering an ear injury from flying too much. All because his parents couldn't behave themselves. I don't sympathise with the little boy's mother, who is irresponsible and even can't help herself from going out meeting stray men. It was a silly film and didn't handle the issue properly.
Bow bow wow wow wow bow...
About: A damsel in distress fighting for her child after sleeping around on the carousal. She is saved from shame because they end up making it about race when this movie really has nothing to do with race but somehow they squeeze it in there.
Story: Loose. No Buns i mean Pun intended
Production: Fast yet in organized fashion
Highlight: How they can get away with being damsels in distress.
Main intelligent: 2.
Unworthiness level: 5.5. I can't support damsels in distress. If they can take action, then they can dig themselves out of a whole. Haha!!
Moral Code: 3. This movie plays blind to damsels in distress and would rather point the finger at race for no reason.
Should you watch this? No. Not Really. The way they promote damsels in distress is mind-numbing.
I was siding with the Ty Rivers. Obviously he is more reliable, put together, than the Damsel. If people keep saving damsels, they will never learn.
Look at Spiderman and Mary Jane Watson. She never learned after Spider-Man 2. You'd think she would have got self-defence training, went to Wakanda for training or expose herself to Gamma Radiation. Nope, she remained a Damsel in Distress.
Though I feel bad for the kid the trauma and stress he had to endure is unfair due to the Damsel in Distress.
