I enjoyed this one. It has a fun story and likable characters. But I have seen better from Marilyn Monroe. I did feel her stupid but smart act was a little heavy. Though it probably needed to be for the story they were telling. I would say it is worth the time put in to watch it.

Until this movie was given to me I didn't even know they made it. But I was pretty excited when it was offered to me as I did enjoy the first one (My Review for The Glass House). So I went into this one hoping for a good movie. And I feel I definitely got that. It has been a while since I saw the first one. But I think this is one of those rare cases where I enjoyed this one a bit more then the first one. I never heard of the actress that played the teen girl (Jordan Hinson) in this one... but the one that played her little brother (Bobby Coleman) looked rather familiar to me. Turns out he was in the short lived TV Series Surface. I was a little concerned since I never hear of her before... but Jordan Hinson did a fine job in the role. Bobby Coleman done a fine job as well... but his part really was much smaller. I also liked Angie Harmon in the role of "The Good Mother." I would definitely say this one is worth checking out.

Who liked the first series will also like this one.
