Escaping Dad

But I'm soooo tired of LMN movies with teenagers who disrespect their mothers. Awful.

👎Typical Lifetime movie. Why are men, fathers, and husbands constantly demonized? TV stations that target male viewers don't demonize wives, mothers, and women in general. A majority of those stations show good old action flicks or shows such as "Cops" which I enjoy as well. A woman can be empowered without demonizing a man. Thank you.

I thought the title wasn't appropriate, but overall this movie was really good. The movie wasn't about Dad, more than it was about an over-bearing, controlling and abusive 'Husband'. The couple was married 10-11 years, so I'm assuming the younger son was probably his, but not the older teenage daughter. So it was the daughter's stepdad and the son's real dad, but it was the wife who had been taking this man's abuse and not the children. Anyway, it was worthy of watching.

The movie was good very interesting until you get to the end it seems as if they ran out of time and just hurried up with it as if they were late for lunch. The women I thought could have been more strong than timid especially if she is running from her hubby with her two kids.

Although there have been quite a few abused wife on the run LMN movies, this one is better than average. The pace is fast and the escape is quite exciting with the way too efficient cops on their tails. The cast is likable.

Sunny Mabrey is quite believable and pretty as abused wife on the run from her A type cop turned DA abusive husband with her daughter and diabetic son. Grace Van Dien daughter of Casper plays an irritating brat older daughter who in turns stupidly leaking information on their whereabouts and uncooperative. Along comes trucker played by Trevor Donovan who helps drive them to safety.

The conclusion is quite feel good. Worth a watch.
