RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

eurograd 'She Made Them Do It' is a bland, uninspiring and entirely predictable movie.I'm usually open-minded towards lower budget productions, and I can get past some consequences of a tight production resource list and a less experienced cast, as long as the story is compelling and the final cut interesting.This is no such case, though. Characters are incredibly shallow, editing is off-the-mark, and the whole movie looks just a random collage of lines and scenes I'm sure I've been before, elsewhere. Actors feel like they are not comfortable with cameras at all.

edwagreen She came across as a nice young woman victimized by a boyfriend and blamed for the killing of 2 people. Off to jail she went where she went out of her way to help people. Yet, she is called manipulative, cunning and quite dangerous. You just don't know what to believe regarding this true story.When she feels that the criminal justice system has failed her in refusing to grant a new trial, she takes off with the help of others in prison. She is pursued by a law officer who becomes obsessed with her capture.Everyone who she helped while in prison with them turns around and repays her.The fact remains whether or not she committed the murder. This question is never answered and it isn't explained what's going on in the jail with those pills and chemicals.I thought the warden would come off as some tough lady, but her part was never built up. Ditto for the black inmate who just never gets going.

Ed-Shullivan Not a particular intriguing movie. It may have been based on a true series of events, but I found the acting to be very much typical of what you would find in most made for TV movies. Specifically very canned performances and actors following a script to get through a tight timeline to complete the picture with little time to do retakes to get the scene right. Jenna Dewan-Tatum (don't you just hate the number of actresses who attempt to separate themselves from other actresses by combining both parents surnames?) who is a lot more attractive than the real Sarah Jo Pender, portrays the woman who partnered with her boyfriend to murder their two roommates. Sarah ends up going in to Rockville Prison Indiana where she begins a crusade to get out at all costs.Sarah does not think twice about manipulating anyone, and everyone who she thinks can help her escape prison, since the courts are not willing to overturn her original conviction. Sarah will sleep with women or men to get them to help her escape from prison. Eventually she sleeps with one of the guards and wins his confidence to help her escape. She then turns to prostitution to secure a safe place to stay while she is on the run from the law. The movies portrayal of Sarah is a bit ridiculous in that she is portrayed as a genius who plays a para-legal and assists a fellow convict to keep custody of her three daughters away from her Aunt and Uncle.Eventually Sarah Jo Pender is featured on John Walsh's America's Most Wanted and her John realizes who she really is but he chooses not to turn her in to the law. Instead he agrees to get her a job and an apartment and he agrees to pay her cash working in the factory that he owns. Again Sarah is portrayed as a genius accountant who is shown saving her new lover's business from an embezzler accountant. Go figure? She ends up being a drug dealer, con artist, manipulator and killer with a penchant for handling child custody battles and multi million dollar businesses from swindling accountants.Marshall Sean Holland who is hunting her down catches up with her last John whose name is Bob, and played by actor Andrew Airlie. Marshall Sean Holland puts the screws to businessmen Bob and lets him know that harboring a murderer and escaped convict could put him in jail. The next thing you see is Sarah being arrested and back behind bars where she is currently in isolation and her earliest release date is when she turns 75 years old.Is she a victim of circumstances or a master manipulator? I think the latter. I give this made for TV movie a 4 out of 10. I don't think you will miss much if you pass on this one.

phd_travel This is a fascinating true life movie about Sarah Pender a convicted murderer who escaped from prison and was recaptured. Her boyfriend killed his roommates but she claims she had nothing to do with it. She was however found guilty as being behind the killing. She managed to escape from prison with the help of friends in and out of prison and was recaptured after a tip off from a viewer of America's Most Wanted.It's interesting because you don't know for sure if she is a murderer or not. Was she a victim of just having the wrong boyfriend and friends or was she a manipulative murderer? It seems crazy to have killed the room mates in such a way. If she was innocent it's a terrible injustice. But whatever it is she is obviously an intelligent person who had quite an ability to make loyal friends and influence people as she managed to get help escaping from prison.Jenna Dewan Tatum shows she is quite a good actress playing the enigmatic character quite well.Worth a watch. One of life's mysteries.
