If this movie's intention was for the audience to empathise with the Jennifer character, well guess what? It failed miserably. I despised Jennifer from the get go. She was immature, selfish and entitled. The last straw for me was when she said to her baby: "thanks for ruining my life." Emmm, excuse me but who was the one who ruined Jennifer's life in the first place? It was none other than Jennifer herself.
I am writing this review as I am watching the movie. Thirty minutes into the movie I still do not like Jennifer. I cannot blame her mother for the way she confronted her in the park when Zoe was abducted. She was telling the truth after all. Jennifer never wanted the baby and she did leave the baby to her own devices and went off to a party got smashed and she even said she didn't want to go home and wanted to stay at the part a bit longer. It was her friend who was trying to talk her into going home to take care of Zoe.
But seriously the story was so stupid. I mean how quickly Jennifer changed and suddenly became the caring mother desperately trying to find her baby was just silly. And her little prayer to God while holding the little fluffy toy, sorry but it did nothing to make me change my mind on how despicable Jennifer was.
The acting left a lot to be desired. I like Jean Louisa Kelly because she impressed me in Uncle Buck. Oh and I recognized Jeff Branson's voice from somewhere and when I checked his IMDb profile I was not surprised, he was in I Spit on Your Grave opposite Sarah Butler.
The bizarre twist at the end was just stupid. After everything she went through to get Zoe back, she decides to put her up for adoption, her reason being: "what's best for Zoe." Oh really? You don't have to lie. You got what you wanted, your freedom back, no baby to tie you down. Who knows, this might be a lesson for your to keep your legs firmly closed! -10 stars!
