Review of Taken Away

Taken Away (2014 TV Movie)
2/10
Shallow, clichéd, and predictable
17 November 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Throughout this movie, the dialogue was stilted, with a very shallow understanding of the real emotions involved. The adoptive parents were not portrayed accurately, but this is the fault of the writers, not the actors. The senator father was stereotypical.

The plot was a bit far-fetched to begin with, and became more so as it went along.

The college boyfriend kept urging her to fight for custody, even after she said the baby was with good parents.

The acting was very good in the birth mother's emotional plea at the mediation hearing, but the adoptive mother's reaction was totally unrealistic. The "happily ever after" ending was just too much.
