base on a fairly bland best seller and this film like most other lifetime movie play out more like a reenactment than an actual movie . the only difference here be that meredith baxter wasn not in it . the woman in this do not age even over a span of like 20 year and the acting in general be pretty bad . the character in this be all cliché and one dimensional . the story be of the cheesy nature . i wouldn not recommend it and but it the kind of thing that people who love the book and people who watch that network all the time will think be great . i only watch it because my girlfriend want to see it so she wouldn not have to read the book her sister loan to her . it wasn not make for someone like me my girlfriend cry a little at the end though and so she do not think it be as terrible a i do .
