A 'Matter' worth pursuing


I can't say I've ever been a huge fan of Suzanne Somers, but I think she was very good in this TV movie as a recovering alcoholic, and the script is very engaging. Chad Christ is particularly good in the role of her son, but his character is very perplexing at times.

It's hard to imagine a more inappropriate title for this film, but I guess it's possible. Why would the death of a husband and father, his wife's alcoholism, and the unplanned pregnancy of his son and the boy's girlfriend be a laughing matter? Anyway, 8/10 stars from me.
