For all of you who want to comment about the movie being poorly done because of accents and stuff like that can go to hell I went to school with amber I knew her family I helped put out flyer's and hang pink ribbons around Arlington when she went missing don't focus on the acting or accents focus on the message behind the story!!! U heartless s.o.b.'s!!!!!!!! Her mother pushed past the pain and agony of losing a child so young to make the amber alert system to help. So that other parents do not have to suffer the agony that she went through. And for those of you who say that the police should have had her mom as a suspect make me so damn sick to my stomach u heartless bastards! Part of her died the day she found out her baby girl had been ripped from her life by a monster that to this day after 20yrs has not been brought to justice!!!!

Remember, the director, Keoni Waxman, is responsible for how the actors perform, under his/her 'direction'. Blame him.What left a powerful and lasting impression in my head was babysitter Glen Park(Myron Natwick). He stole the show for me. What a face! Myron didn't look as bad in younger days, but you can still see it. He played the part so well that at times I forgot and thought Myron was the kidnapper.Can't find much personal biog on him but does lots of character work; a relative of late great 'Grim' Natwick, motion picture animator for Disney and Fleischer Studios.I don't know how much research was done, but they did portray Glen Park to have violent tendencies if not obeyed. He threatened Nicole several times during the kidnap sequence. What amazes me is how Sharon (her mother) felt he was quirky ten years prior.He repeatedly went against her wishes about buying the child clothes and junk food. Yet she allowed him to babysit Nicole for three years? Only when he didn't bring her home that day, did she wise up. And if Glen Park looked anything like Myron, I definitely would have stayed clear of him. Sorry Myron.As for the five year sentence, he had psych problems in that he did not want to sever that relationship. He took it hard. He honestly felt he was the responsible parent and not Sharon; with no record of abuse, he gets off quite easy. He practically built a shrine to Nicole. Hmmmm.... He's out of prison now.Once the movie ended, it was Glen Park alone who stood out in my mind....ewww. Good performance!

I kind of agree with the last post.The acting on this movie was kinda of bad.I think that the producer was just in a rush to find the stars and get the movie done.Although I think the little girl that played little Nichole did a really good acting for her age but the rest of the cast.....I did like the movie however cause I really wanted to see how the amber alert came to be but they did need better acting in this film.Good acting Jodelle Ferland though.At least that is my opinion.I'll tell the producer and everyone who worked on this film to next time.Take your time when picking the cast.I am not downing any of the cast members I honestly think it was just too rushed.

I think that Elisabeth Rohm, though she may try hard, is not very good at all. I guess it was because of budget that she may have been the only one they could get for that price. I mainly watched it for the performance of Myron Natwick, whose work I know very well.He was the most believable and without doubt the most compelling to watch. When he wasn't on the screen, the thing went dead. This was filmed in Vancouver. He gave me the creeps, but be assured that in real life he is a kind, funny compassionate man. He even said playing that role gave him the creeps.I'll watch anything with him in it, but Elisabeth Rohm - never again. She was as exciting as lint on Law and Order. Maybe a very nice person, but no actress.
