Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
MiamiReviewer I'm only half watching this as I work from home today, but it's pretty bad and very annoying. The characters are superficially stereotyped: rich guy is selfish and bad, and needs to be saved by the poor girl, who is beautiful and good. Given the title of the movie, Class, and the reality that there are very different social and other behavioral differences between the various classes in this country (not to say that one is worse than the other, but it's a reality), i've never seen a poor single mom act more like they were raised in a wasp-y upper middle class home in the NE or west coasts. The actress seems like a rich person who is acting like an idealized version of a poor single mom. Not much like a poor single mom, though. Also, I had to point out the glaring casting of the lead female, who the lead male initially deems so gross, sloppy, etc that she wasn't even a viable candidate for a secretarial job, until she gets a haircut and puts on a suit jacket, and he's like "wowzers, you be hot!" The lead female, not lost on me, is the same actress who played the super hot ex-girlfriend of Freddie Prinze Jr. in She's All That -- a movie with a remarkably similar premise. The fact that she was the super hot girl that the ugly-duckling-soon-to-be-made-hot new girlfriend was compared against, but now plays the too-ugly-to-be-a-secretary character here -- this is a painful irony that was not lost on me.
baileymm1978 As a girl who's seen pretty much every happy made-for-TV movie, all I have to say is: who cares if the plot's a bit predictable or the characters are a bit stereotypical? Sometimes nice is just that.This was better than most happy Hallmark movies, for a number of reasons. In general, the characters were much more appealing than you sometimes find in these movies. The kid was less saccharine-y than normal. And, most importantly (in my opinion), there was far more chemistry between Boy and Girl than you normally find. I thought it was lovely. A thoroughly enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon.
edwagreen Mazel Tov to producer Larry Levinson for making this heartwarming film.Sure it's predictable, but it's wonderful just the same. Why? We view a form of prejudice here which we usually associate with religion or race. No. Here we see prejudice among the social classes.What a great plot. A wealthy lad about to graduate from Law School is assigned to help an impoverished single mom improve her life while facing a hostile environment.She can't hold a job since her child is chronically ill with asthma. In addition, we see how employees, landlords and even the Medicaid system act among the downtrodden in society.Our lad is hostile at the beginning to our young lady. His father, played to the hilt by Eric Roberts, is a big-shot attorney who has already carved out the ideal life for his son in the corporation after law school and the passing of the Bar Exam. Mom is an alcoholic because she basically would like to declare her independence and is sympathetic as our young guy becomes infatuated with our young lady.The film is a gem since it shows you that power and money prevail in this society with dealing with a landlord and others. Of course, it helps to have friends up there to get a nursing scholarship for our lassie. However, the real success is that the two join forces in the end. In love and with so much to give to society, this is a remarkable film in that we see that the barriers to social classes can be broken. Only problem: Eric Roberts doesn't come down from his tower to acquiesce. Still, that's true to life.Very highly recommended.
marzolian Very contrived plot. Almost the entire plot can be sketched after watching the first few minutes. Every character is a stereotype, even their names, and their actions and attitudes are entirely predictable from the first minute you meet them. I remember just one single surprise, and it wasn't much.And everybody is just too gorgeous. The story might have have been halfway believable if two or three of the female characters had even average looks.BUT ... for some reason I enjoyed it, despite all of the above. Maybe because it was late at night and my brain didn't want to work too hard. But the main characters are likable, and the right things happen, as Hollywood likes to do.
