Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

With Lifetime and Hallmark movies there seems to be a trend. The mother is passive and has one or two children that talk to her horribly and she puts up with it. Why can't a mom just say, "I know you are you are pi--ed off that I have spent time blah-blah, but you know what? You are almost grown and acting like a spoiled brat isn't helping anyone."Trust me, real moms have periods of time when their kids are being rude, where we are blunt and open with a situation/feelings. Showing moms in movies like this, is frustrating and makes the moms in the movies unrealistically ignorant and like doormats. Another thing, there is technology now, that is IMPORTANT to use to verify a sibling/son. Hello, DNA test. Stupid not to have a test done, with the tests protected, not left on a freaking counter. "I trust this is my son." Please. And, trusting a total stranger, alone with your younger kid is RIDICULOUS. Would you do that with a person you met on the internet? If so, you are RIDICULOUS too. So, am ready for these channels to grow up and get more real. Yes that is expecting a lot from fluff movies. I watched because I love Virginia Madsen and she isn't in as many movies as she should be. As for the typical move-on dad with a younger, pregnant wife....gag. The angry, bitter daughter? Grow up. The poor younger kid with a manipulative new brother? Sounds familiar. So, watch with a grain of salt, a big one.

Well, the premise is very interesting and makes you think about many possibilities regarding the "lost boy" character.To be honest with you, I only watched it for morbid curiosity; I mean, I expected the "lost boy" to terrorize the family in unlike ways, not in the likes of "Saw", but, situations like in "The Hand that Rocks the Craddle" (1992). However, the situations are very lame and soon you lose empathy towards the main character.The script is very weak and never fully explains the origin of the lost boy or who really "took him" when he was an infant. Virginia Madsen is fantastic as always and her portrayal of a mother that cannot cope with the lose of a son but keeps the hope for many years is perfect. Watch it only if it airs at 2:00 a.m.

The beginning of the film shows promise with a woman counseling parents whose children are missing despite the fact that her own son has been gone for ten years.The story is dysfunctional in the fact that she has divorced her husband and she gets along beautifully with the woman he is about to marry who is carrying his child. The children live with the father and that is never explained.The movie begins to take a nosedive with the sudden arrival of the missing son. The mother doesn't want to question him regarding where he has been all these years.When you think that the boy is playing a fast one and is not really their son, we then see his rather bizarre and increasingly violent behavior and we are left to wonder what is going on here.Interesting plot but there are unanswered questions and material hard to fathom.

A really enjoyable film that feels more like an edgy indie character driven thriller than Lifetime fare. Writing, Cast, and direction are all top notch. Terrific gem of a suspense film with plenty of twists and thrills that kept me guessing. I particularly was drawn into Virgina Madsen's characters journey-- her loss then acceptance of (spoiler alert) the young man coming into her life claiming to be her lost son. It was a fascinating turnaround of events which kept making me guess and wonder based on the unfolding clues-- (spoiler alert) whether he is or isn't really her son... and was finding the son's character journey equally as compelling -- whether he was or wasn't the true son... and how much did that matter if there is the same experience and loss in their lives and they match up like damaged puzzle pieces. Fascinating character stuff explored here.
