Comfortable New York suburbanites Arthur and Gerrie Mason discover one night that their seemingly perfect 16-year old daughter, Maxie has been tripping on LSD. Arthur, a smug, bullying braggart, immediately suspects his 17-year old (long-haired) son, Artie of supplying the drug to his sister, and immediately kicks him out of the house. Whereupon (suitably) confused Harris runs next door to seek advice from high school principal David Hoffman whose wife, Tina is an alcoholic, and whose son Sandy has his own problems. Very sensibly, he advises love and understanding on the part of the parents, which all but goes out the window when Maxie confesses she has been tripping for quite a while now, is also sexually active and on the pill. Meanwhile, she just keeps getting worse--she's found by her father high on cocaine and in bed with a biker. From there, it's straight to family therapy where, among other things, it's revealed that Dad is having an affair with his lusty secretary and Mom knew it all the time. After another lamentably useless therapy session, the Masons decide to throw a party which comes to an abrupt halt when one of the hired musicians is discovered puffing pot. Maxie then gets hold of more LSD, does a nude dance on her lawn and trips herself into a mental hospital. The sight of her near-catatonic daughter in this horrible place drives Mom right to bed, where she remains until the film's climax.

| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt's the best movie so far about parents, kids and drugs, and probably the best we're likely to get. |
| User ReviewNicki MLame. And I think the confrontation scene at the beginning of the movie never actually happens at the end? (Unless I got so brain dead I nodded off!). This is either a lifetime movie, or just plays like one. The story and message are familiar. A single mum moves away from a bad relationship with her three school aged daughters and starts over. We know she's made some bad choices as her own mother seems to be reasonably well off for money and disapproving of her life. The bad choices aren't delved into too deeply, but I would take a stab at inappropriate men and maybe alcohol. Any rate, she's pulled herself together, and moved to a grotty house with the kids in rags. Early on she meets her neighbours. A too good to be true couple who can't have children and take a liking to hers. Initially it is all great. The couple spoil the girls and babysit so she can work, then slowly things start to get out of hand ending in the abduction of the two youngest girls (the older one resists). I actually don't mind the odd lifetime movie. Usually the thrillers are so bad they are a laugh. This one is just bad. Fails to convince, washed out to look at, predictable characters. Even the acting is noting great. |
