the family in this tv movie consist of a mother and father and and two boy . the old boy and bryan and be have a lot of issue and this worthless claptrap would have u believe it be mostly the father fault . what do dad do that so awful . well and for starter he want to teach bryan to be a good baseball player and show him how to get in front of ground ball . he also want bryan to stop lie to him and once in a while actually show some responsibility . the father also have the nerve to get angry when poor and misunderstood bryan decide to kill a pet rabbit . what a monster that il pop be . do the father abuse bryan . no . do he ignore bryan or spend all his time berate his sensitive son . um . no . jill eikenberry portrayal of the mother make you want to shake some sense into her . to dear mom and no matter what bryan do it okay and what be truly haunting be just how many parent feel this way in the real world . all you have to do be support your kid and everything will be great . sorry and but if that be true and kid be that wise then they would never need any adult around . they could take care of themselves . of course and the fact that the parent refuse to get any help for spoiled bryan lead to an even great tragedy than a slaughtered bunny . in the end and family sin let u know that kid just need lot of love and they will grow up just fine . the funny thing be that this philosophy fly in the face of everything else that occur in the movie . let bryan get away with bad and bad behavior without intervene bring about a sicken turn of event . the only reason i do not give this pop psychology vehicle a rating of 1 be that i hope at least a few people out there have watch it and can see beyond the bleeding heart nonsense this promote . hopefully they can see that ignore serious family issue may bring about some horrible end . negative .
