Wow - this was one EVIL mother. I'm sure we all know someone with an overbearing mum, but this was just ridiculous. The only thing more infuriating than her sociopathic meddling was the ignorance of her son (played by Ricky "Rick" Schroeder). You would think that if he was smart enough to be a brilliant attorney (?), he would be able to put two and two together when very bad things started to happen.
Attorney Rick has lived his entire life up to this point somehow accepting his mother's involvement in every aspect of his life. It's almost uncomfortable to the viewer; she behaves like an incestuous mother and they bicker and make-up like a creepy couple. Things get really out of hand when he flies the coop and attempts to become a normal independent 30-year-old man...
Overall, a classic example of a great Lifetime movie: has-beens, decent acting, good plot, a 'strong' or psychotic woman, and at least one character that infuriates the hell out of you. 6 out of 10.
