This review is from: Love Child [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie was so compelling, I could relate to Terry-Jean's troubles only I never went to prison, but my life was pretty bad growing up! This movie shows that despite the worst circumstances, you can overcome anything if you are strong enough to fight for yourself! I only wish they would make a D.V.D to keep up with the new technology, I can't wait to get this movie, I just ordered it, and I haven't seen it since 1988 on television, I was oly thirteen, and I'm just turning thirty this summer so I know I can really understand this movie better than I did as a child, I'm sure I missed a lot of important things That perhaps I didn't understand at the time. Anyone considering seeing this movie will not be disapointed.......

I thought this was a fantastic movie. I thought so many years ago, I just finished watching it again this morning, and I still think so now. Terry was a victim of the system. People make mistakes. I hope Terry and her daughter turned out alright over the years.

5.0 out of 5 stars There is justice!, March 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Love Child [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Terry Moore could have gone either way - good or bad. Circumstances propelled her into the legal system, then into jail. A spunky gal, she didn't just sit around and wait for her time to be up. The result of this was a stay at Broward Correctional Institute, where, for the first time in her life, she was given a structured environment. But the excitement doesn't end there - in fact, it just begins. You'll find yourself experiencing the many emotions Terry did - disgust, hopelessness, hopefulness, love, and many more. It's an excellent representation of the legal system and what really goes on in prison. An excellent video!
