It was apparent from the outset that here was a made for TV movie. I'd never heard of it before but decided to watch it anyway. I must say it was a lot of fun to watch, almost as if it was a spoof of a crime film. When you scrutinize the acting it seems fairly clear that nobody is at all sure of their lines, there are pauses all over the dialog where the actors seem to be giving themselves thinking time to remember what the scene is about! Many scenes made me laugh out loud but possibly the funniest one was near the beginning where Jane Seymour's character is working with 'troubled' children. For some reason these kids are painting everything in black, (they're troubled remember) but after a kind word from Jane they are smiling again with pinks and yellows. This has to be seen to be believed! Overall extremely funny, however it makes me question why anybody spends money on these awful scripts? Somebody very untalented is laughing their way to the bank!
