The movie on itself is bad. The acting besides Heche is below average, and the writing is even worse. the interactions between characters were awkward and poorly executed. The movie is predictable, and it contains a lot of clichés. But this movies does what it was designed to do. It don't require a lot of brain power, but is enjoying to watch.

The only good thing about the movie, is that Anne Heche is starring in it. Although this is an another way beneath her talents role for Heche. Heche on her own saves the movie. Thanks to her the movie is entertaining.

Not a complete waste of time, if you don't take it to seriously,you will enjoy this.

Based on a true story that is nothing new in a movie. This movie was just a typical American made for TV "tearjerker". You can see that it is a small budget movie.

The movie is most of the time slow-paced and the script is so-so, but Heche and Bell make the movie with their acting. Two lesser actors would have reduced it to a hack piece of garbage.

Kristen Bell does an descent job in this movie. So does Dianne Laid. But Anne Heche steals the show with her truly outstanding performance as the dysfunctional mother who neglects her children to lead a most disgusting life in pursuit of a good time.

If you are not a fan of drama, Anne Heche's performance is the only reason to invest time in watching "Gracie's Choice"

Michael J. Fox has a sympathy factor, but is uneasy to watch. The show has furthermore an another way beneath her talents (guest) role for Anne Heche. The rest of the cast are not in her league and fits the mediocrity of writing. The editing is even worse. No real story development or what so ever.

The show got a little better after a few episodes. Still the jokes are overdone and the same over and over again.

The show is overall not funny and boring. Maybe a must-watch for Michael J. Fox's fans, but don't be too surprised if it's a negative one. Not to recommend.
