BreanneB This was a very sad story that happened in a town twenty minutes away from where I used to live. In fact the girl's parents and the father of Beth Brodie came to my school to do a seminar on dating and domestic violence. I had the pleasure of meeting them. There is a sad part unfortunately, the two boys (this includes Beth Brodie's ex/killer) are both now eligible for Parole. Even though they originally weren't Massachusetts passed a new law that people 16 and under at the time of their crimes is now eligible. I hope they never get out.Candace Cameron and Fred Savage give excellent performances in this movie. This movie is extremely vital for ALL teens to see. It will help them learn and recognize the red flags of abuse.

katbrat992 this movie helped me a lot, i was scared to tell my mom about my boyfriend and what he did to me, then i seen this movie and thought to myself that i didn't want to end up like her... that day i told my friend what my boyfriend did to me and he was put in jail...he is about to get out, but at least now he know's it's wrong what he did to me and that when a girl says no it mean NO...but i just wanted to say it's hard to leave a boyfriend if he hit's you i was beaten and mentally abused and for the longest time i thought i was nothing and only he would love me, but now i'm happy with a guy who has never and well never hit or mentally abuse me and would never basically be like my ex-boyfriend...but thanks bye

MarieGabrielle While we certainly see an abundance of these films on LMN, the message is important, and not to be discarded.Candace Cameron is quite good as a 16 year old involved in an abusive relationship. Fred Savage is the school hunk who also comes from a troubled family. Michelle Phillips as Cameron's mother is pretty good, as she has a tendency to be involved with an abusive partner as well. At one point- when Bobby is abusing her daughter, she tries to reason with her to get out of the relationship. Cameron replies- he loves me at least I have that- you never did.We see the mind games and denial that exist in these complex abusive relationships. Sometimes the abuse is subtle, psychological, but always degrading.This is a good film for young women. Self-esteem is often non- existent and takes time to develop. The problem is that denying the abuse, or pretending it doesn't exist only makes it worse. The victim often loses her friends and is isolated. The twist at the end of the movie is a bit unexpected, and should be taken to heart. This was a true, tragic story. If you liked this film you may also enjoy "When No One Would Listen" with Michelle Lee and James Farentino. 7/10.

Gabby Saulsbery Best movie I've ever seen in my opinion .. it's the movie that made me fall totally in love with Fred Savage, and it proved to me that Candace Cameron Bure could act that well.I haven't gotten to see this movie in 4 years but it's incredibly memorable & I don't even care that my friends give me weird looks when I tell them that my favorite movie was simply made for TV.There was nothing that I didn't like about this movie. I love how the end was the beginning & the beginning was the end -- it gives sort of a simplistic vibe to a complex movie. The story was fantastic & I'm very sorry to hear that it was true.
