Alain E I think this movie is more about psychiatric disease triggered by drug use, than drug use per se. It examines family dynamics under these conditions. No one seems to know what is going on and how they should react. Regarding the Rotten Tomatoes site I think that the cast pictures should chronologically match the movie and not how the actors appear years later. If they are now dead, do they plan to show their headstones? Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review jimmy b Ignor those negative comments...this is a very interesting and well-acted time piece dealing with drug culture in the late 60s. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review delysid d this is a hysterical anti-drug movie from the 70s. oh no, drugs! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/06/22 Full Review Audience Member Lame. And I think the confrontation scene at the beginning of the movie never actually happens at the end? (Unless I got so brain dead I nodded off!). This is either a lifetime movie, or just plays like one. The story and message are familiar. A single mum moves away from a bad relationship with her three school aged daughters and starts over. We know she's made some bad choices as her own mother seems to be reasonably well off for money and disapproving of her life. The bad choices aren't delved into too deeply, but I would take a stab at inappropriate men and maybe alcohol. Any rate, she's pulled herself together, and moved to a grotty house with the kids in rags. Early on she meets her neighbours. A too good to be true couple who can't have children and take a liking to hers. Initially it is all great. The couple spoil the girls and babysit so she can work, then slowly things start to get out of hand ending in the abduction of the two youngest girls (the older one resists). I actually don't mind the odd lifetime movie. Usually the thrillers are so bad they are a laugh. This one is just bad. Fails to convince, washed out to look at, predictable characters. Even the acting is noting great. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member a young nicolette sheridan is in this lifetime movie network afternoon surprise...
