A Son's Promise (1990)

Member Rating:

The promise made by 15-year-old Georgia boy Ricky Schroder is to his dying mother (Veronica Cartwright). Schroder vows that he'll keep his parentless family--all seven brothers--together, no matter what. He keeps his word, through starvation, deprivation and natural disaster. It says in the ads that the made-for-TV A Son's Promise was based on a true story. Real or fabricated, the film offers a good workout for your tear-ducts, even when lapsing into the Obvious. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I'm a little astounded by the member rating of 4.5 stars. Thats the reason I ordered it plus the fact that the summary sounds promising for an intense family drama. The fact that there are so many children in it may have been its downfall. The performances are amateur, the kind you'd applaud for an 8th grade drama, but not a movie. Its dissapointing to say the least, very amateur in its handling. Its almost like it was shot in real-time, no script n no rehearsal. The end was abrupt too, but in my case it was still much awaited. I dont aim to be too critical since it does have a good rating other than mine, so theres a chance its me. I doubt that though since its almost one of the worst movies I've seen. My final advice would be to take a look only if you have time to burn n in no other case!

Sorry the other member didn't like the movie. I thought it was good. It would a good movie for pre teens to watch. They may have an eye opening to the many blessing they have probably taken for granted.
