It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I have seen Jennie Garth it The Laurie Kellog Story and I think it is phenomenal. She got to stretch as an actress. She is such a great actress. I have it recorded and I love to watch it over and over. She is such a great role model to others. I love that she is a spokes person for R.A.I.N. ( the rape crises center) She has not let success gone to her head. I read that while she was still filming 90210 that she would have the other(kids) over for dinner. Instead of a real fancy dinner she would have a normal BBQ. Even though she is divorced from Dan Clark she has never said a bad thing about him like most celebrities do about their ex's. She just said that she got married to young.

I grew up in Linglestown, and knew Denver McDowell. The producers of this movie took great liberties with the filming. The houses Denver and the Kelloggs lived in look NOTHING like the ones in the movie. Also, the town is LinglesTOWN, not LinglesTON. I do not know enough about the situation to know who was telling the truth, but I do know it would've been nice if someone would have actually COME to Pennsylvania and researched the area. Add to that the fact that the actors look absolutely NOTHING like the real people, and it makes it just more over the top.The writing of the movie is simply just another Lifetime movie of the week.

Like the reviewer from Sweden, I couldn't watch more than half of this. It was just so ludicrous and bad and over the top. SPOILERSIn just the first half, we watch this Dr. Jekyll madman doing everything possible to be the worst human being in history - toward everyone:From molesting young children to pounding on his pregnant wife, from yelling about how fat his college age girlfriend is becoming to screaming she get an abortion, from yelling about dinner being ready to not talking to her as punishment when called a molester, from being unfaithful to zestfully skinning animals, from calling the police to go after others he dislikes to yelling at his wife simply because she doesn't go to bed at the same time as he - he's in a rage all the time. The character is just unbelievable.
Yet despite all, we are somehow expected to believe that the protagonist (Jennie Garth), just doesn't worry about any of this - madly loves him, is thrilled to be carrying his baby and over the moon about marrying him? It's nuts. Of course we know how this will end - but the first half alone was just laughable.

Does anyone know if this is a true story then what has happened to this woman now. Where are her kids and mother and step father. What about the other kids involved? What has happened to them. My daughters watched this movie with me, I thought it would help inform them about abuse and how not to handle it.
