Movie Reviews of Taming Andrew
Movie Review: Taming Andrew
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is wonderful yet heartbreaking. Park Overall,(Empty Nest), portrays Gail Carlson, a devoted and loving mother. Seth Adkins (First Do No Harm, Funky Monkey), portrays Andrew Carlson.
Gail lets her ex-husband, Ted and teenage girlfriend have Andrew for the weekend. Ted doesn't return the child as promised that evening. Agonized and stressed out, Gail and her new husband, Eddie await Andrew's arrival. However, he doesn't get back until 5 years later.
Andrew is not the same child he was. He has severe emotional problems brought on by the abuse at the hands of his real father. Gail goes to a child psychologist to get help.
Social Services is called in and and the representative wants Andrew put into a special on-campus school for disturbed and handicapped children. Gail refuses to go along with this. She does not want to lose her son again. Gail takes Andrew out of regular school where he is teased and ignored by the other kids.
She teaches Andrew at home and on her brother Jack's farm. At the farm, Andrew loves the animals but is bored with having to do homework. At the end of the movie, Andrew finally reveals to Gail the bad things his father and girlfriend did to him.
Gripping and very emotional performances. Seth Adkins is great here. A talented young actor has done even more feature films and TV shows.
You'll need a box of kleenex while watching this sad but overwhelmingly thought-provoking movie.
