Review of My Daughter's Secret (2007) by Deirdre H — 16 Mar 2014

Do not watch this movie. You will never get those two hours back, and the bad taste it leaves in your mouth lingers long after the last credit. This could not have been written by any reasonably prudent individual older than 13.

Not only are the teenagers incredibly stupid, but the one parent in the film has the moral judgment of a mosquito. The plot is so predictable that you can read "War and Peace" intensely while you are watching and still not miss a beat.

I guess you can forgive 17 year old Justine for her impressive lack of judgment because her mother, on learning of Justine's involvement in a murder/robbery, says, "Oh, sweetie! We'll go talk to a lawyer.

" She hangs out with gun owners who killed the mother's beloved boss. Please. My mother would've snatched my ear and dragged me to the police station. Then the lawyer lets them think about it overnight.

That night Justine leaves the house to meet her boyfriend, and her mother misses another opportunity to call the cops, and she calls the 17 year old girlfriend. Mom! These boys have a gun! I'm leaving out lots of details because I'm so disgusted.

We watch a bad movie every Sunday around here. Usually we can laugh at them. This one was so bad that it isn't the least bit funny.
