I have watched the original version of this movie numerous times, but I would never watch this version again. Newer TV movies aren't re-watchable like the ones from the old days, but besides that, I feel this particular version was much more emotional and heavy, too much so for me.
I thought the casting of all the main players was good. I'm not understanding this theory that Fred Savage and the lastest guy to play the role were too nice looking, too innocent looking.
What does an abuser look like? Is he supposed to look rough and tough? Guys who look like nice guys can't beat the crap out of someone and make them feel horrible? Thinking like that is stupid, and obviously it isn't true.
I feel some people don't realize this movie and the original are based on a true crime, so they think it is OK to make insensitive statements.
