      jonathan m It's not a bad movie Shepherd gets a lot of stick because people just see her as Moonlighting which is a sitcom she did in the 80s, and people don't want to see her play different characters and roles, people try to type cast her as sexy blonde funny so I credit her for trying different roles, I mean she's won awards for acting so it's not like she can't actually do a good job. This movie was good but only for Cybill. There is actually a really creepy picture of a Clown above the baby's crib but in saying that my sister had one too they were actually really popular. Ok let's talk about the movie without giving Away spoilers not that anyone one will probably watch it unless lifetime does a rerun. Cybill's character who is a teacher States she'd rather have a dog than an alarm system. Cybill's baby is stolen from its crib while she's having a bubble bath. It's a safe secure crib and she's literally just in the next room. The baby starts crying and Cybill instantly gets out of the bath slow enough to let the kidnapper leave and finds her baby has been stolen. The movie moves fast and she finds out she's pregnant with her second baby 15 year's later. During her new pregnancy she antagonizes various characters along the way such as students and other people..... Could one of them wayward students be her stolen son. Anyhow preparing the old bedroom they have avoided for 15 years for her up-and-coming new child they find a locket which wasn't originally found at the time it's engraved and the two characters do some detective work of their own. As with most movies the police are like two cavemen. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
