Not exactly a review.......2007-09-05

I haven't seen this and have no idea of whether it's good or not. I'm writing this entirely because the product listing for the DVD release shows it to be 'Unrated', while the film was actually made for television - so potential customers should realize that if it was submitted to the MPAA for rating, it'd be either G or PG (perhaps PG-13) - not what one usually expects in an 'unrated' flick.

Interesting movie........2005-02-23

A girl, a young Diane Lane, is being groomed to be a child bride to a man old enough to be her father. She is unsettled by this because she is in love with her intended's son, Christopher Aiken. She is reluctant to leave her home, until her best friend, a young Helen Hunt, is caught escaping the compound. Her friend is then forced into a marriage as soon as she arrives home. This has the two young lovers making a break to the real world.
