The greatest movie ever!
Mabel Munoz
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Keira Brennan
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

a sensitive theme. decent story. reasonable performances. and a touching story, more for the young actress work than for the effort of adoptive parents. politic, motherhood, an error of a teenager , a wise solution from parents and the fight for the child. sure, the critics are many about accuracy and credibility. important is the reasonable way to translate in images a drama so painful than it is obvious difficult to understand it if you are out of it. short, one of many films in Hallmark style. touching, dramatic, exploring appearances of a delicate theme in reasonable manner.

Taken Away is a Lifetime TV movie about a politician's daughter whose daughter was given away for adoption to avoid hurting his father's political career during an election year.Upon realizing that she needs her daughter to become a big part of her life,she starts to take some actions in order to recover her from her adoptive parents.It had a great promise to be a good TV movie.Too bad that the screenplay had to go through lots of contrivances and melodrama that the story became unrealistic as it was being told.The characters also lack coherence and consistency.The viewers will probably be confused in understanding them.Apparently,the characters involved simply had to undergo unexplained transformations and development in order to meet the needs of the story.Finally,the conclusion simply would not appeal the intelligent viewer as it simply went through the needed happy ending.

I was bothered how in the beginning of the movie the women adopting the baby was guaranteed by her doctor that she could not have children because she had PCOS and that it has been thoroughly researched. This is not true. PCOS isn't new and it is well know that women with PCOS can still have children, even though it may be more difficult. with proper treatment and changes in diet and exercise women can have children, this coming from a woman who has been diagnosed with PCOS and also expecting. There were some other misleading statements but of all of them the one related to PCOS is what disturbed me the most.Also I wasn't to fond of the ending

Throughout this movie, the dialogue was stilted, with a very shallow understanding of the real emotions involved. The adoptive parents were not portrayed accurately, but this is the fault of the writers, not the actors. The senator father was stereotypical.The plot was a bit far-fetched to begin with, and became more so as it went along.The college boyfriend kept urging her to fight for custody, even after she said the baby was with good parents.The acting was very good in the birth mother's emotional plea at the mediation hearing, but the adoptive mother's reaction was totally unrealistic. The "happily ever after" ending was just too much.
