    The best comedy in years

    A non-stop humor fest that won't disappoint. From the opening scene until the final shot, the over the top acting and ridiculous plot line will keep you in stitches. Don't pass this one up!!!!

    Could have been better

    I didn't like the story at all I mean think about it she's a lawyer yet she's going about doing all this stuff without telling anybody about it, except the Man's brother who she suspects. Sometimes I cannot watch shows because it's just so ridiculous she's on the phone with the man yet she doesn't tell him where she is. The movie is almost over yet still I feel I just want to turn it off because it's so typical what's going to happen

    Crap

    Really crappy story, everything was so predictable and clichéd, fights were dull and clues ridiculously stupid. Don't recommend. Bad acting too

    Don't Bother Watching This

    Terrible script, terrible actors/actresses & a waste of time.. Only watched this because there was nothing on TV so I settled for this disaster.. Not sure why anyone would decide to air this with terrible acting & script; the only decent actor in this terrible movie was Jedidah Goodacre..

    Not Perfect, but ok for a TV Movie

    This is not terrible. There re better movies, but it is a story of a girl with issues and a bratty boy that fills a void in her life. Also the struggle of the mom. Many reviews have trashed this movie. But over all it was not bad. It is a made for TV movie and is not supposed to be a block-buster.

    It was adequately written, directed and acted. I actually knw of a situation that is very similar to this. So it is not far fetched.

    For a movie to watch at home for free, its worth the time.

    Family Friendly? Teen Suicide, teen psychological issues and depression. Very little mention of illegal drugs or alcohol. Very little smoking. No bad language Two unmarried persons having a conversation in bed, so there is inference of sexual behavior, but it is not shown. These two are engaged.
