Savage Steve Holland's slightly irreverent take on everything infuses it with an energy and sense of oddity that is unique and charming

I didnt hate it,but i didn't love it.I found Mare Winningham's performance well done for the job,but she didnt make me feel anything for her. The writing could have been better and the cast needed work, but for a Lifetime Movie of the week, it didn't totally suck-i'm just really indifferent towards it.:confused:
