    Horrible

    The plot of this movie was the most poorly developed I have seen for a longgg time. The actors were not horrible but the cheap one liners, sub par directing and inadequate character development made this a regrettable watch. Lifetime often produces half- baked movies but this one is really disappointing.

    Total train wreck

    Fakest movie I've ever seen.

    Laughable at best despite the subject matter. I felt embarrassed just watching it.

    Watchable, but predictable and generic...

    I have to admit that I wasn't really harboring much of any high expectations for this 2017 Lifetime thriller as I sat down to watch it late in 2022.

    First of all, I had never heard about the movie, bnot that is a hindrance for watching it, but the movie's title was really corny. A poorly selected title, which sort of sends a false impression about the movie-

    The storyline in "Daughter for Sale", as written by Vesta Giles, turned out to be interesting enough. Sure, it was fairly generic for a Lifetime movie, but it made for an adequate enough viewing. Though, it should be said that you pretty much know how the entire movie will play out before you watch it. So director Farhad Mann wasn't exactly delivering a spectacular thriller here.

    The acting performances in "Daughter for Sale" were fair enough, taking into considerations the limitations of the script and all.

    While "Daughter for Sale" was watchable enough, this is by no means a movie that warrants more than a single viewing. And I know what I will not be returning to watch it a second time.

    If you enjoy Lifetime movies, then give "Daughter for Sale" a chance.

    My rating of "Daughter for Sale" lands on a four out of ten stars.

    improbable and badly played

    A 26-year-old teenager and her 9-year-old mother who is a judge despite obvious incompetence and who turns into a vigilante who does not know the fear, it should be an episode of the 6th dimension!

    Age gap

    Why do they cast actors that is supposed to be mother and daughter that has basically no age difference. 9 years, they look like siblings not mother and daughter. It hurts my brain watching

    I am not saying they are bad actors or anything, but is there no older female actors. Do they always have to be around 20-30. The 20 year old pretending to be younger and the 30 year old to be the mom

    • Trivia
      Even though they play mother and daughter, Emily Rose is only nine years older than Emily Tennant in real-life.
    • Goofs
      The cops say they can't trace the daughter's phone, yet the criminal always has the phone on even has to stop it from ringing when the mother calls. The cops would have had him early in the film from GPS tracing.
