They had known each other (the Mother's) since the son was 5 years old and the daugther was 3 years old? According to this review it says the son didn't know the daugther that long.

>>>She strongly opposes his engagement to Kelly Shaw, who he doesn't know very long,<<<

Overdomineering female police detective Jamie McDowell still tries to run her 19-year old only son Peter's life although he is a builder who lives alone.

[spoiler]She strongly opposes his engagement to Kelly Shaw, who he doesn't know very long,<<< and forces him to bring her to diner, where Jamie and mother Susan Shaw repeat that mistake.] After Kelly provoked her ex-fiancé Ray Rankin in a bar 'to test Peter's love' again, they part in anger. That evening the mothers, who went out together, find Kelly burnt to death in Susan's house; an expert clearly concludes arson.

Not only that. I thought the girl was a few years older than the boy. That she was legal drinking age, but the boy was still 19 and too young.

Even though she acted like a 10 year old spoiled brat and he acted like a clueless teenager.

No two persons ever watch the same movie.

Tell me about it. No sympathetic characters in the entire movie really. And when he got life in prison, that was supposed to be the uplifting moment in the film. They felt it worthy of playing a little "happy time" few seconds of music right when it was announced, and the ridiculousness of the whole situation made me burst out laughing. A Lifetime movie like "A Deadly Encounter" is a great unintentional comedy (or at least the last few minutes are, after a somewhat decent previous hour or so). But this one doesn't even serve that kind of unintentional purpose. Just depressing.

He was 19, she was 21.
