I live in Omaha and I met both Kevin Dillon and Shannen Doherty. I got a picture with each of them and I got to watch a scene being filmed. They were very nice. I know that there must be a reason why Shannen has a reputation for being somewhat of a diva, but she was nothing but nice and gracious the whole time that I was around her. In fact, when I asked her if I could get a picture of her, she insisted that I be in it with her. As for Kevin, he took time to talk with me while he was waiting to film the scene. I have always liked him better as an actor than his brother, and now I know that he is a very nice guy. I thought the movie was well done. It is amazing how they can film a movie in a location and then when you see the movie, you can't tell where it was filmed. The movie was well acted throughout. They told the story effectively. I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever seen, but it is very good.

I think this movie was really wonderful. Yet sad at the same time. when i find out it was based on a true story, i just like the way they have the characters make it look so real. it is a really excellent movie, and sad. i hope that other movies based on true stories will be just as wonderful as this one. i can basically say that if Shannon were to act in another movie like this, i would be one of them to watch it right away. i mean, this movie probably could take your breath away and you would not even know it yet there are some sad parts to this movie, especially when Jacklyn is murdered and the parents are blamed for it. i love the way they directed it and everything. but i hope there will be other great movie just like this one!!!

Why do so many made for TV films stink on ice? Why do actors like Shannen Doherty and Kevin Dillon get cast as PARENTS? This film is a dramatization of a true story - so why cast two people who are not in the least parental or even very good actors for that matter? Kevin Dillon spends the entire film with this look of terror and bewilderment on his face. Is he being dramatic and trying to behave the way he thinks a father who was accused of murdering his own child would behave, or is he frightened that the producers of the tripe will use his real name and thereby informing the world that his movie career is officially OVER. The more I think about it, Kevin looks like he's eaten some bad clams or drank spoiled milk...it's probably the horrific dialogue. Shannen Doherty, while very attractive, is totally miscast as the mother of the dead girl. I'm trying to think who might be even more inappropriate as the mother, and besides fellow 90210 alum, Tori Spelling, I'm coming up blank. Ed Asner and Dixie Carter are completely wasted in this slop...As a matter of fact, it looked like Dixie WAS either wasted or phoned it in during filming. Only Hollywood could take a true, VERY dramatic story and foul it up like this. I'm amazed that so many other user comments have been positive. It's an important story that deserves MUCH better treatment than it got.
