Not With My Daughter

I shouldn't have expected much from this film after realizing that the director Penelope Buitenhuis body of work has been concentrated mainly on Lifetime TV movies and TV series. When a film company like Lifetime continually uses the same director there is a reason for it and that reason is that their chosen director Penelope Buitenhuis, can churn out one TV movie after another as I seemingly chew on one corn on the cob after another and they all look, smell and taste exactly the same.

There are a few scenes that take place between former Brat Pack star Ally Sheedy who plays a high class lawyer and a single mom named Melissa Eco and her daughter Abby played by Annie Clark who are in the middle of some heated conversations at home that the sound recording is similar to the effect of the echo that you frequently hear on daytime soap operas.

Don't waste your time. Boiling a cob of corn takes only two minutes and it tastes a lot better than this corny soap opera film made for a bored TV audience.
