root I wish the script was a bit better, but for a 2007 TV movie, I think it's pretty decent. Catherine Tate is phenomenal here, I'd love to see her do more dramatic stuff. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Movie was okay as a "watch once". I only watched it to see Robert be all nerdy lol. It was all Canadian Netflix had to offer. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Just saw it randomly on Netflix and gave it a shot. I ended up really enjoying it. According to IMDB this was a made for TV movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Rob was adorable and geeky in this as Daniel Gale. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Short, but sweet. Nice little family movie. Robert Pattinson was adorable even then...though he does not have a huge role in this. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member The Bad Mother's Handbook is a strange little movie about a girl who gets pregnant at the age of 17. The boy who got her knocked up wants nothing to do with her or the child, bu the new boy at school played by Robert Pattinson does. Sure he is a little odd and not the hottest boy but he is sweet and his father is a doctor. The girl's mom is not happy to become a grandma but the Grandma is excited to become a Great-Grandma. Throw in that the mother has just found out that she is adopted and wants to know who her real mom is and why she was given up and you got a funny tale. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
