SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

HomeyTao For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

PudgyPandaMan I thought this was a well done movie for a made for TV movie. I think the cast all did a good job.James Wilder as the diabolical boyfriend/husband Scott gives me the creeps. Roxanne Hart as the heiress made me feel so sorry for her character. There are times when she talks and is crying and her voice quivers and it is so believable. How any woman puts up with such abuse is so hard to understand. The daughters were a good contrast to each other - Holly Marie Combs as the strong sister Alex and Sarah Chalke as the lush, weak sister prone to her mother's poor choice in men.The way that man shamed and humiliated that woman was unbelievable. Its hard to believe her daughters couldn't have done more to intervene. Hopefully, domestic abuse laws in NY have changed to have more automatic, severe penalties for abusers. The thing that I don't get is that the movie states several times that court favors attempted reconciliation. Why in the world - in the 1990's- would the court encourage a woman to go back to her abuser. This wasn't the 1950's, when abuse was swept under the rug, and people turned a blind eye.I think this movie reveals an important truth - that violence is an equal-opportunity evil; it inflicts the wealthy as well as the poor. People tend to think violence is an inner-city or working-class problem, but it doesn't discriminate. While they may not make up the majority, wealthy killers aren't hard to find in prison. In the graveyard, wealthy victims are even easier to find.

artemisanoush crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/family/anne_scripps/1.html?sect=12 Click on this link to see the entire true story of Anne Scripps Douglas' murder. I watched this movie with the hope that the title meant that Anne herself would be the one committing murder against her abusive husband, I was wrong. The actors were amazing. Roxanne Hart showed how loving, kind, and soft spoken Anne might have been. Her performance left you emotionally drawn to Anne, wanting for her to be rid of the pain in her life. But you did not feel sorry for her, and you were never angry with her for staying in the relationship. The story is one that needs to be heard, in hopes that with the information you attain from it... the tragedy will not be repeated. Overall a movie that should be watched, but if your looking for a happy ending, you will not find one here.

kristie48 Wow! This movie was really good. The only thing that made me mad was the fact that there were commercials in the movie when I saw it on t.v., but other than that I found the movie to be good. At some points in the movie i was totally creeped out and at others I was laughing and at the end I was in tears. This movie makes me want to stand up and cheer! Everyone in this movie did a great job, I found everyone to be very believable and fun to watch. It was entertaining and I would highly recommed this movie to anyone who has wanted to see different type of good movies. 9 out of 10. GREAT!!!!!!!

bctxcoll This was a depressing movie, because this was based on a true crime incident. It was depressing for the daughter's plea for their mother to leave the abusive husband, were ignored. The title to this movie said it all. Overall I liked this movie.
