Audience Member EXCELLENT MOVIE,AND ACTING.I WANT TO BUY IT. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Suffers the made for cable curse. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
