I thought this would be a major motion film, not some Lifetime television movie. Anyone know if they are planning on making it a feature film?

uhh, and your point is? That still doesn't address my statement about why it's a TELEVISION movie vice major motion feauture film.

Yeah, movies made for theatrical release doesn't always mean Better...that's been proven time and time again with the big flops! There have been many GREAT made for TV movies!!

"There have been many GREAT made for TV movies!!"

And this definitely wasn't one of them. What a mess of a movie this was.

It said a nurse finds out and intervenes. Ummmm he asked Caroline (attending nurse)to intervene and take the baby away.

This is practically a movie. An original film but it will be on television where people across the country can enjoy in their very own home. The book was amazing, and you practically have top-list actors portraying the characters. I think it's better this way to do a small film. Indie film. Would mean a lot more to the people who actually took the time to read the book. AND, once it comes out on DVD it'll be practically a movie as if it came out on the big screen. . . . . .

I agree, when I first read the book I thought it would make a great motion picture.

I'm watching the lifetime movie now, and I must say it looks low budget and unimpressive.
