Plot:
Jane's mom (Stockard Channing) assumes her daughter is just like every other sixteen-year-old girl - a little confused about growing up. Jane (Ellen Muth) figures her mom is just like every other mom - a little too protective, but loving. They figure they have a good relationship, until Jane falls in love with the new girl at school. Jane knows she is gay but her mom is completely unwilling to accept this fact. Their mother-daughter relationship is broken unless they can find a way to remember how much they love each other.

This is a TV Movie that originally aired on Lifetime. This is part of a 3 TV movie set I just got yesterday. And was the one I wanted to see the most in the set. As I like both Stockard Channing and Ellen Muth. This is the first thing I see Ellen Muth in other the her series Dead Like Me. The first thing I noticed is the narration from Ellen Muth. It instantly made me think of her series... as the series is done the same way. I felt that they did a wonderful job with this film. It felt realistic and I must say it broke my heart seeing how much trouble the mother had accepting the idea her daughter is a lesbian. To me a parent should be nothing but accepting and behind their child no matter what... as long as they are healthy and happy. Sure it means they are going to have a tougher time in life. I am not blind... I can see that. But it is a parent's job to help their child through the tough times in their lives...not add to them. Anyway, I enjoyed every moment of this movie. Despite it being pure drama (not a favorite genre). Well worth the time put in to watch it.

Positive to note is, that it looks like the complete cast and crew of the first movie is back. But this one was a big step back. At least in the non-music parts. It looks cheaper and amateurish. The acting is worse and the story is non-existent. But I enjoyed most of the music and the choreography. It got barely a 3 overall in my book.
