When Natalie (Gloria Reuben) gets pregnant, she puts the baby up for adoption and runs away from her father, rancher John Morgan (Ving Rhames). John adopts "Little John" (Robert Bailey Jr.) without telling Natalie and raises him, rather than letting him fall into foster care. Twelve years later, John wants to reunite mother and son. With his grandson, John journeys to Los Angeles to find Natalie -- who's now a family court judge with her own reasons for wanting to avoid her father.

Denise Marcella I This movie is about life and true life - and many woman are definitely identifying with this movie of real life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Suzette H I wouldnt be surprised if this was based on a true life story. Loved the relationship between LJ and his grandpa. Life is messy but you stay focused on the positive. Both Mom and LJ goin' need a lot of therapy. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Audience Member This was a gentle, touching movie. Very little drama but felt real. All the actors were great and L.J. won my heart. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Good story & plot. Gloria Reuben's acting was terrible. She basically was stoic the entire time and showed so little emotion. Not at any point did she seem like a person WITH emotions. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Not that great, but has it's moments Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member reminds us of some of life's realities Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
