ThiefHott Too much of everything

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

dansandini The American Judicial system is a farce. Let's say you go to court in a custody battle. You think you are going to get a fair shake. You find out your ex-spouses attorney makes hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to the judge. The judge orders you to to be evaluated by a court appointed psychologist. The psychologist finds you an unfit parent and charges you $35,000 for the evaluation. The psychologist also makes hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to the "impartial" judge. Having been found an unfit parent the judge orders you to pay child support which you can not afford. When you are unable to pay you are imprisoned, even though debtors prisons are illegal in the U.S. You speak out against the judge on Facebook. You are imprisoned with drug addicts, sex offenders, rapists and murderers for slandering the court. The judge orders you to stop filing custody paperwork. You refuse and are again imprisoned. Judges leave office one day and begin consulting to their attorney friends the next.Finally a family court judge is caught on tape beating his child with the belt. Nothing happens.America is doomed and there's not a Damn thing we can do about it. File this one under YCMTSU. I wish I had better news.

tsmith-938-736926 It is hard to get anyone to witness reality when the reality is so bleak. I went to the Fri opening in Denver with a buddy and another couple and there were less than 2 hand fulls of people in the theater. But the story was so well done I found myself having to leave after about an hour. It brought back so many bad memories of my personal experience as the victim of what I can only describe as racketeering.We worry so much about off-shore terrorism when we have a huge domestic terrorist threat in the family courts. Threats, intimidation, bribery, falsifications, forced imprisonment, loss of property, career, reputation it all happens - and justified with the biggest lie of all "in the best interest of the children'. I know many actual victims cannot afford to go to a theater movie or can't emotionally handle the replay of the horror story of life they lived through. But this is a must see for anybody concerned about basic justice - for ultimately it is largely about the abuse and use of children as pawns. It should be requited viewing for High School students and any premarital counseling. Society is paying a huge price for enabling and fostering the ability for anyone to "terrorize" another person and abuse the basic human rights of children merely for the sake of making some $$$.

CANative The touching tale of Dr. Joe Sorge. A San Diegan who cooked the books in his divorce and got caught. Instead of being chastened by his folly, our hero blames "the system" and makes a film to share his newfound knowledge. Apparently, the good doctor sold his business for about $100 million and, in an attempt to avoid child support, asserted business losses which would have led to no child support. The judge chose to ignore the losses and ordered him to pay child support. The court of appeals agreed. There are problems with the system, but a man who goes to such effort to avoid supporting his child, is not the man to look to for answers. Double check him, and me, see 202 Cal App 4th 626.

Andrew Day I just got back from the Phoenix opening show, and I have to admit that I am a little upset. I am not upset with the quality of the film, but the way it left me feeling after being reminded of the corruption and pain from my past cases.The film makers did and excellent job of compressing an extremely complicated topic into a well organized and an easy to understand presentation. I was not sure I was going to learn anything new, because I thought I had seen everything. Anyone who has been through a divorce or custody battle has a decent understanding of how the corrupt Family Court system operates. I was unpleasantly surprised to learn some new facts and injustices that I had not seen before. The corruption has always been obvious to me, but I didn't understand the motivation to the level the film exposes.The narration by Dr. Drew was perfect. People who know nothing about Family Court can watch this film and follow it. I strongly recommend this movie to anyone considering marriage, or anyone who is just starting out their divorce or custody action. For most of us, we didn't have the luxury of knowing how corrupt the family courts were until we were neck deep in tears and debt. Thanks to this film, many others will be able to walk into their unfortunate situations with a clearer expectation. The movie revived my promise to myself to stay single until the day I die.
