amyash1966 Not a very good movie, but Lifetime movies are generally like Harlequin romance novels. The basic premise is a woman's 4 year old son and estranged husband disappear on a boat trip during a storm. 14 years later, she suspects her son is still alive and looks for him. Honestly, I have to say she got what she deserved. She is going through a divorce with her very nice spouse, but holds a lot of resentment because it did not work out and "we are just different people" Her husband gets to see his son one weekend a month. What is that all about? The courts have a standard 2 weekend a month for non custodial parents, but because the divorce is not final and they are going through negotiations (and she knows how to work the system because she went to law school) the mother can dictate whatever she wants. She seems clearly upset when the father comes to pick his son up for visitation. When he tries to rationalize with her to work out a good parenting schedule and not use the lawyers, she is smug and refuses. He points out how she got the house and child support, while he was the one who put her through law school. Unfortunately, the system is lousy for fathers and this movie seems to show a fantasy that many men wish they could pull off. Fake their own death, take their kids with them and live in the Caribbean, ahhh if it were only that easy.

zysterx i know people have their own tastes and i'm not saying the ratings of 10 may not be genuine, but one has to question when the over-all ratings of a movie are 5.4 and people post a full 10.it always causes me to believe that person has a personal agenda in doing so and the movie deserves it's 5.4.maybe they are that actor or one of their relatives wanting to promote them or someone one connected to the film who would benefit financially, but something is glaringly wrong when i see that happen. it doesn't help me decide to see the film----it causes me to NOT want to see the film.

guilfisher-1 Chace Crawford, an up and coming young actor, walks off with this movie for TV. He's charming and does a decent acting job with a featured role, his first. Story revolves around a man who takes his son and fakes a boat accident and disappears with the result that he and his son were lost at sea. This leaves the wife, a shrew, behind. She remarries and fifteen years go by when we discover the father and son aren't dead.As expected, the mother learns this and goes on a wild search to find them. This is where the film goes down hill. This woman seems to break every law in entering another country, which is impossible without a passport of which she has none, nor birth certificate. She actually becomes a rather insipid person and you root for the father and son to lose her.Gabrielle Anwar plays the long lost mother badly. Looking to young for the part, they try getting her hair up for the older woman, but then suddenly she's running along the beach with her long hair flowing behind her in the breeze. Her mouth also bothered me. Craig Sheffer does much better as the father and evokes sympathy from his audience as his reasons for the kidnapping make sense. To keep his son from becoming a mommies's boy. Unfortunately the shrew wins out. The farewell scene between the father and son, brought some heartfelt emotions from young Crawford.There is some spectacular scenery of the islands and the sea in this film. Gorgeous photography and the good looking Chace Crawford make it a film worth watching.

yourleftyray2002 I saw this movie because of the previews. Chase Crawford is one hot, clean, decent guy. I am glad I watched it because his dad was an old familiar face to me. I thought the woman playing the mother got in many ways what she deserved until the very end. I don't mean a mother should lose a child for any reason but her attitude really needed some work. I do not understand why there is no information on this movie as yet but at least it now shows up when I request the title. I think that over the next few years the name Chace Crawford will appear more and more. At least I hope so. He brought that special something that made me root for the entire family. Dad got what he deserved in the end too. A place to sit and reflect. ha ha. Such dedication from a mother is something I would like to see more of today on TV. Maybe the networks will soon drop those stupid reality shows and go back to things like LONG LOST SON. Anyway I highly recommend this movie. It is just one notch above a movie of the week and will bring out feelings you may have not felt in a long while with the stuff being put on TV today.
