06/07/2013 EXCELLENT MOVIE,AND ACTING.I WANT TO BUY IT. See more 09/09/2012 Suffers the made for cable curse. See more 01/28/2012 This is such a sad film. It shows how a happy marriage can turn into a nasty and brutal one at the drop of a hat, which eventually leads to murder. Getting justice for their mother's death is what her two daughters set out to do, and thankfully achieve, after some time. A great film, just sad that it all happened really. It's called Our Mother's Murder where i live. My Actor/Actress review: Holly Marie Combs - another great perofrmance Sarah Chalke - an equally great peroformance alongside Holly Marie See more 08/02/2010 Every once in a while, a movie comes along that's so bad, it's good. This movie is so bad, it's great. This is the kind of terrible movie I actually really love to watch. "Daughters" is so bad, it's laughable. The ultimate older woman's "worst fear" flick, it's just fantastic. The acting is terrible, the dialogue is laughable and it's just a lot of fun to watch. A true Lifetime Movie classic.
