There's enough of the all-out V.C. Andrews flavor to make this installment worth a look for those who want to catch up with a family of soap people 30 years in the making.

Rated: B-

Variety

Where Flowers was airless and po-faced, Petals is manic and sudsy, speeding through a treasure trove of sleazy plot twists like CliffsNotes on crack.

Soapy, sudsy, and scandalous, this take on the much-beloved (and much-reviled!) V.C. Andrews' book is a lot more fun than Lifetime's previous Flowers in the Attic.

Rated: 3/5

[Petals on the Wind] commits the deadliest of movie sins: it does not shock, it does not move, it does not provoke...unless yawns count, it is simply a bore.

Nice adaptation of the book, decent cast. Surprisingly good for a Lifetime movie.

How in the hell are the screenwriters going to *SPOILER ALERT* kill off Paul Sheffield in the opening scene??? His and Cathy's romance was so twisted, so beautiful, so everything. This was such a GIGANTIC part of the story so it made absolutely no sense whatsoever to exclude him. I mean, come on, REALLY?

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Another installment in the incestuous saga of the Dollanganger family, one which almost seemed a bit too breezy in the manner in whcih it moved along. I was left feeling as if they could have given me a bit more detail to connect the dots with after the kids finally got out of the attic from the first film. Rental, but obviously recommended for fans of the entire series.
