Alec B Though this mid-2000s Lifetime movie's main goal was to tell Natalee's story, the absolutely horrid acting and dialogue does her story no justice whatsoever. Centered on her mother, Beth Twitty (played by Tracy Pollan), the film follows Beth’s determined search for answers in Aruba and the intense media spotlight that followed. Unfortunately, even for TV, it falls utterly flat. Even the end credits fail to capture the true problem. Rather than addressing violence against women, the credits simply say that Beth continues to talk about "the dangers of international travel." A sure misfire on the true problem at hand. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Audience Member The movie would have been 100% better if they had another person play the mother!! Tracy Pollan is at best, a terrible actress. Her horrible acting skills brought the movie so way down! Why couldn't they have hired a more skilled actress for a delicate yet powerful role? I have seen better actresses in junior high school plays! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Peliculas sobre la vida de Natalee Holloway quien desapareció el 30 de mayo de 2005, durante un viaje de graduación a Aruba, una isla del Caribe perteneciente al Reino de los Países Bajos. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought the movie about Natalee Holloway's disappearance was very well constructed. I believe that her story should be told in order to raise awareness for teens traveling abroad reminding them to never separate from their friends or family or leave their drink unattended. This movie serves as a very good lesson for teenage girls. The disappearance of Natalee was very accurately portrayed. I read several news articles regarding her disappearance and I think the movie adheres to the facts found in newspapers and magazines. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Although it was a tragic thing that happened to Natalee, this television movie portrays her as so innocent, and I just don?t buy that. She certainly had more than her share of alcohol, and she could hardly be described as a sweet virgin. A mistake happened, a bad mistake, but she didn't have to go with those guys, and I believe it was her choice as it was her choice to become intoxicated and flirt. Aruba is a wonderful place, far safer than most places in the world, and the mothers ranting did so much unfair harm to the economy of Aruba. This is a very slanted and unfair account. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Very good depiction of what happened. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
