Adopting Terror

Adopting Psycho Parents!
Adopting Terror aired on Lifetime earlier this year, in which I didn't watch it because I don't care for most of the channel's programming. The movie was made by Asylum Home Entertainment, whom I have reviewed a few DVDs for this year, and they nicely let me view an online screening of Adopting Terror through Fordela.

The movie stars Sean Astin and Samaire Armstrong as Tim and Cheryl Broadbent, who are proud parents of their newly adopted daughter, Mona. Just when they are adjusting to being a family, a stranger shows up at Mona's first birthday party. The stranger is Mona's birthfather, Kevin Anderson (played by Brendan Fehr), who was released from prison on a technicality.

Kevin follows Cheryl while she is grocery shopping, he shows up at their house, and he even shows up at their friend's home to mow the yard. The police can't help them as there is no real proof that he is stalking them. The social worker, Fay Hopkins (played Monet Mazur), tries to give them...

Love it!
This movie is one surprise after another very suspenceful. I was deff thrown a curve ball when finding whom the child's true parents were.

Waste of Electricity
What a waste of time this movie was. I even regret the amount of electricity I used to watch this movie. This by far has to be the worst Lifetime movie I have ever seen. The character's were shallow. At first I thought that the adoptive mom had a speach impediment, but then realized it was just the way she spoke. Also, her hair was so thin that you could see the wallpaper designs through her hair. The acting was terrible - to the point that even the baby was annoying. This is one of those movies that you wonder who gave the movie the "green light" for it to be produced, and how drunk were they. The adoptive father was a complete twit. There were so many unrealistic scenes in the movie and just the whole storyline seemed absurd. No research was done. I would have rated this movie as "0" stars, but I had to put in at least "1" star - and that in itself is far too generous.
