16 and Missing (2015 TV Movie)
6/10
MOMMY'S JOB IS TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE
1 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Mom (Ashley Scott) is an FBI agent. Her first husband (Jay Pickett) was murdered which is something that develops in a subplot as the film goes along. She has remarried Daniel (David Starzyk) a nice guy who hasn't molested his teen step-daughter Abbey (Lizze Broadway) a major league drama queen. After an incident where her half-brothers/step brothers (?) knock an empty plastic dish out of her hands, and they are not flogged, she has a snit and leaves home to go be with her 23 year old on-line boyfriend Gavin (Mark Hapka) who she was never met, but we now get more flashback scenes to that fateful night.

This is a TV-14 Lifetime film meaning the drama is inflated and all the twists have been so overdone before, it is hard not to see them coming. Like an Asylum film, I have come to the conclusion the faux-drama Lifetime Films should have their own rating system for those you like Lifetime films (i.e. I am tied of giving them one star all the time).

The beginning of the film throws at you a bunch of facts and then the drama action comes hot and heavy. Afterwards things settle down mom quickly finds out where her daughter went, who she is with, and has the FBI backing her up, not waiting for 24 hours, or the fact she is technically a runaway and not abducted. Yes, such is the real world.

TV-14. implied sex. Lizze Broadway bra. And why do I always meet Chris Hansen on my Internet dates? 6 stars on the Lifetime Scale
