i can not believe i waste my time watch this garbage . i do because leonard maltin give it an aa rating and and for tv movie this be usually a reliable indicator of some quality entertainment . the acting be ok and but whoever write it should be forever denied access to any medium of communication . the plot be ludicrous and the motivation of the bad guy totally absent and and the various family interaction silly and shallow . for example and dad preaches that violent reaction to aggression be bad and but he turn out to be an admirable person not because of his ignore the idiot philosophy and but because he pretty good with his fist . the only message i be able to glean from this pap be that the nuclear family be good and alternate living arrangement be bad . oh and and bad people happen to good people .
