My review is a spoiler
********* Love Dina Meyer and would watch anything she is in. She did not disappoint. You think the movie is a run of the mill tear jerker until the very end when the birth mother asks the adoptive mother to play russian roulette with the same odds that the birth mother has at living after donating her kidney to the dying daughter. Before all of this the writer conveniently slips in a scene where the daughter asks if it would be all right to call both of her mothers 'Mom'.
Cut away to the last scene where the daughter is seated at the head of the table with all her brothers from both sides of the family and her birth mother's husband. She makes a toast to the departed 'she' and looks to the chair which you cannot see who is in the chair and calls that person, 'Mom'. Conspicuously absent is the adoptive father. Also, once the birth mother hands the gun to the adoptive mother the scene cuts to the hallway outside the room where they are located and you hear a gun go off. If the trigger was pulled and the first barrel was without a bullet you wouldn't have heard a noise only a click.
Very cleverly written and nice acting. Only wish that the older Omar was as handsome as the younger one.
