The acting in the beginning was so bad that I almost stopped watching it. But, I stayed with it and the acting got better. Weird. The one thing that was hard to get past was the 30 year old actress with tons of forehead wrinkles playing a 15 year old. I mean.... it's not like they picked her because she's the best actress so then I would probably pick someone that's more in the age range and could act somewhat better. That part was just super annoying throughout the whole movie and it was hard to get into the movie because there was this old woman playing a 15-year-old that looked older than the mother. And the actress that played the mother was actually 20 years older than her but look the same age if not younger.

So, I guess basically what I'm saying is that the casting Directors that are really bad job.

Pretty marginal stuff here. Formulaic. The bad dad was your typical arrogant, self righteous, violent, super freak. The mom was your not so typical, pretty, sexy, self assured mom, despite all that she had been through.

There was the high school love interest, in the home town she moves back to, in order to get away from the super freak.

Little suspense. Little surprise. It was fairly easy to predict where this was all leading to.

I recommend avoiding this tiny little movie. The creators this film did not invest much into it. And it shows.

Surprisingly this turned out to be a pretty well made and logically written thriller from Lifetime. An ex husband is abusive and even hits his wife with a car. He's sent to prison but 10 years later is being released. So the mother and daughter move back in with estranged grandma. However bad Daddy is in pursuit. Refreshingly the daughter is not a brat who defies her mother. It's good when those who should be on the same side are on the same side. Things are kept believable. Nothing too outrageous. Interactions with friends are interesting. The actors are good and they aren't too familiar.

Ok no need to go into the details of the movie or analyse it, suffice to say that Brian slash the cop slash mama's new boyfriend was absolutely useless! LOL.
