      Too Close to Home

      TV-PG 1997 1 hr. 36 min. Drama List
      Reviews 55% 50+ Ratings Audience Score Diana Donahue (Judith Light) won't let her son Nick (Rick Schroder) go. When Nick, at age 29, finally decides to leave the family nest, she tries to kill herself. The attempt brings her dutiful son to her hospital bedside, which, ironically, is also where Nick meets nurse Abby Fletcher (Sarah Trigger). Nick and Abby marry, decisively separating the son from his ultra-needy mother -- unless, that is, the psychotic matriarch can get rid of her daughter-in-law permanently.

      Audience Member Lol... Amazon Prime and Tubi really pick up all of the movies that were thrown out. I thought it was all so ridiculous, just to find out it was based on a real story. I thought the justice system was portrayed inaccurately, but I suppose some small town out there does everything backwards. Anyways, it was entertaining at the very least-- the kind of entertainment that keeps you company when you're painting your nails. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible. I have seen high school plays better than this. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Judith Light played a very convincing role. Such a sick story! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Typical Lifetime movie... good cast. Judith Light is always quite good Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of those movie that you just love and hate. Judith is such a bitch in this movie but shes awesome. And this movie is soo much like real life, because there are mothers that tend to get way to overprotecting of their children, and are just obsessed with them. Still loved the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Rick Schroder is a really good actor! Did you know that? Judith Light manages to creep the crap out of you (with a little help from blue contact lenses), but still make you feel sorry for her when she's put to death. Warning: this is a true story!
