- Taming Andrew
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.

- TV movie on dvd
The sole reason for watching this film is an incredible acting performance from 10-year-old Seth Adkins.If it weren't for his abilities as an actor, this film would be a complete waste of time.
The adult roles in this film, particularily that of Park Overall, were a complete disappointment.When she tells her toddler that he's a "silly boy", I could almost hear her reading the script out loud.The same occurs when she asks her child's doctor if he can help her..... after countless visits. ...

Rating: - Family Abduction
This movie is a start for those wanting to know how serious family abduction can be for a child and also for the family.Dismissed as not a serious crime, this movie should be seen for the devastating consequences for the child and left behind parent/family.Only wish the film was longer and covered more, but it was sufficient in its story.
