Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

ShaKaarii Melendez OMG.Robert Urich was Nefarious in this OMG.wow.just a ruthless odd guy. and hateful,inward,and smile/tall handsome charming on the outer.Sad how it end.He is in heaven now,RIP not FAGOT,the guy i would hope not,but actor R.URICH,who die In my consensus too early,he was great! On Vegas and a few more great TV true stories,but this one is incredible.Actually; it is coming on tonight,and again throughout month of May & Jone 2012 on Lifetime,and or LMN. My consensus is the movie is beyond-good would give it a 10+ if i can.Sad carol did not tell mike, Look my father has LIFE INSURANCE money on you,so DO NOT GO, she should've told him,then i believe MIKE right now will be alive.so sad. The actor who star as Mike Joanne old boyfriend/or 1 guy she did date at 1 time,is cute and sweet,good for carol too,but she undermine this relationship due to her ODD-LOVE for a man who clearly undermine her life and michael's repeatedly,and his children.Love the Narrative,at the end by CAROL- told by one of my fave actress the tall beautiful,talented Gwenyth Paltrow,she is so great in it,the way she keep on getting her father help from Mike,her loving and faithful sweet boyfriend,turned husband,for which he clearly love her,and was in love with her but she was just a stupid girl,believing she can trust this guy. Mike was right about her father,and i think it is a sad ending,but i did expect it to end something similar,regarding 'Dad' and i know this much after the father kill the first son in law, if i was CAROL i would have done MORE to keep MIKE,her husband number two all by the age of 23/24, i would have done MORE,TO KEEP MIKE alive/away from"Dad", so sad about mike. and i am trying to remember the actor name but he was funny, really great in the movie.Lastly i want to encompass,that the mother who star in COACH Shelly fabares,is a great actress,truly under-rated,and i adore her,she was so great in this,and mike, carol,Joanne, LOVE HER,she was astute enough to realize her father was NOT worth squat.Matthew Perry,now 41 years old,was very young in this and so good! sad how he end up,but great actor in this,as his other movies.all around cast was great, and i can re-watch this true tragic story 100x more times,in my lifetime,because it is THAT good,but tragic,so sad. daughter,carol finally do the RIGHT THING,even if she sound so sad at the end.the music is good at the end,and in between scenes,and the way the father control them from day one,is proof of enough the man was not playing with a full deck-i can't see ONE second where he did truly love CAROL,sad how she had to find out the HARD WAY by losing MIKE THAT HE DID NOT really love her,Not at all,and Crucifying her,Under Oath.that was a shame.and then U see MIKE frustrated,(I CAN'T BLAME HIM) over the daughter CAROL,keep wanting to get money from MIKE! her child father, and spouse to just"GIVE IT ALL'as she say to her father?WTF is that about?Mike smack her up was no, NOT RIGHT,but i can see why he was getting so angry to give"ALL THE MONEY"away,to dad?OMG. your able to see toward END so so SO sad, mike was getting a real job,HAIR cut from long and was able to work legally,as Carol,was and the "love"the two clearly had was STILL THERE.Just became too late thanks to her DAD's love for her by killing mike too, as clearly this was NO REAL LOVE from a parent,to his child and i am sad still for the family,and hopefully wherever,they are way older now,they are all doing well as can be,and ended up being somewhat happy after so much multiple tragedies,that NO loving family on earth deserve.BMWREDHEADLAWSTUDENT@Gmail.com

Vmb317 I was so glad when I logged onto and set up an account on this site. Just to see the first review about the home the Fagots lived in. It looked just like a Frank Lloyd Wright home but would be unusual to be in Louisiana. I wish I could have seen the home before it was demolished. Maybe I could find the new home built on the same site. Wonder who designed it?Also since I live in Atlanta I did not recognize any of the scenery. Hard to swallow Robert Ulrich playing such a bad guy, although he did it well. How could such a successful father of 4 be so self destructive? He had so much going for him and life could have continued to be so wonderful.Enjoying another LMN flick for a lazy Monday afternoon.

TCall2004 I came upon this movie as I was channel-surfing on a Sunday afternoon (a bad day for television, even with digital cable).Lifetime was showing it and when I saw the cast, I decided to watch.The late Robert Urich did a marvelous job in the TV movie "Blind Faith" as Robert Marshall, the NJ insurance man who had his wife, Maria, murdered in 1984, and is now serving life in prison.He did not disappoint in this movie as a control freak of a father who went so far as to kill his two sons-in-law for insurance money (and to blow off his own right hand for the same reason).A truly scary guy.A young Gwyneth Paltrow (one of my favorite actresses) did an equally terrific job as Carol Fagot Holland, the daughter who was loyal to her father at first but , in the end, helped to bring him down.Roxanne Zal also does a good job playing Urich's psychotic second wife, Marty.Shelley Fabrares does not get enough air time in this move, but makes good use when she is on screen.Good scenery , fine acting.Nice way to kill two hours on a Sunday afternoon.I'd recommend it.

gorgeous_529 What some people may not realize that, while this was a great TV movie, it was also a true story. My family lived next door to LJ Fagot before he made his insurance money and my father once worked as their gardener and was friends with Carol. My father and his siblings were also babysat by Joanne.I was impressed to see the acting cast and thought they did a wonderful job. Urich's portrayal of LJ Fagot was great and very close to how dictatorial Fagot was in real life. Gwyneth Paltrow and Matthew Perry were virtually unknown when filming this movie, yet still demonstrated superb acting abilities. The house where this all took place still stands, at least it did before Katrina, and is still inhabited. It looks nothing like the house in the movie but is still beautiful in the way only New Orleans houses are. I will continue to show this movie to my children as it is apart of our family history, as well as that of the Fagot family.
