i have see mommie dear when i be young and and i have to say it be one of the absolute bad movie ever . joan crawford ( faye dunaway ) be the adoptive mother of christina and who be tell her side of the story . i have to admit and i be not sure whose side be true and but in this movie and joan be nothing but a two face ( witch ) who say she love her daughter but be just plain horrible to her . i mean and she want christina to be perfect . that why she ( spoiler warning . ) try to make her eat raw meat ( my mom and sister and i personally like our meat well do and too . ) while she have a swimming contest with her daughter than gloat when christina loses and then christina say it not fair so joan spank her and lock her up in a pool house . then ( more spoiler . ) when she hang her dress on wire hanger joan yell at her and beat her with a hanger ( i do not care for wire hanger either and but my goodness . ) while joan make christina scrub the floor and beat her and choke her and and fuss at her constantly and expect her daughter to call her mommie dearest and which sure a flip be not the right name for her . well and guess what and miss crawford . like it or not and you be this child mother and you do not show her a part of the love she try to show you . i hope someday you can live a decent life without want to be perfect and but and you know what . your daughter not go to be perfect ( until she get to heaven ) and and neither be you . nobody perfect and so deal with it . to the viewer represent if you like this movie and good for you . whoever doesn not and i do not blame you .
