This movie sticks out like a rancid sore thumb among the rest of the Lifetime movies. After looking it up here, we find that it was originally a real movie released to theaters, and made a whopping fourteen thousand. The star of the great movie Serial Mom Kathleen Turner is a fine Catholic woman up for an award that has a prize of lifetime absolution. What a bunch of hateful stereotypical hooey. Absolution is given just for the asking. How such hate at a group of people is allowed in this day and age is mystifying. And the priest from the Thorn Birds again as a priest here? Really?

As a person raised in a strict Catholic community it warmed my heart to see this movie. I wish it was shown at every Catholic church in the world because the acceptance and forgiveness in this movie is more in keeping with the teachings of Christ than the hate that is spewed by the sheep in his name. How anyone could think this is anti-catholic when it is all about what it means to be a real follower of Jesus and about God's love for all his creations. The only unbelievable thing was that the mother would be able to forgive herself and accept her children when the reality is many Catholics will reject and harm their children rather than question their self-serving dogma.

One of the most hate filled anti Catholic movies I have ever seen why!!!!!!! If the offensive stereotype were replaced by an ethnicity, there would be a civil war. "UGLY" best sums it up.I would love to know who funds these movies? I would love to warn them that people like me who have no concern about whom people are intimate with, are starting to have a problem with this hate filled agendas of people that produce movies like this. Large groups of people, groups, and organizations are banding together in an effort to fight homosexual legislation. For the most part they aren't Catholics, but that is quickly changing thanks to crap like this.

It would be nice for Hollywood to recognize that a lot of good Catholics actually go to the movies. It would be nice to have good movies like the Song of Bernadette or The Bells of St. Mary's. But instead we get this insulting, anti-Catholic movie that attacks all aspect of the Church and its mission. Kathleen Turner deserves an "F" for her performance as the ultra-Catholic Mom. Catholic mothers don't kick the Body of Christ under the rug because has fallen from the paten. It is a very pathetic attempt to spread the Catholic haters venom onto the silver screen. When are you going to learn that few people like going to movies that insult any religion? This piece of garbage needs to be taken to Turner's home and thrown in the trash. She use to be a wonderful actress; now she has stooped so low it is pathetic. Anyone associated with this vile piece of movie making should be blacklisted and punished.
