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.

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!

prison films are a dime a dozen but this one gets to the heart. it was nice to see some romance for a change . i enjoyed it.

I bought the DVD and it WILL NOT PLAY IN MY DVD!!!!!!! However I do have another dvd player and it does play in that one, but the picture is too dark and scenes are hard to see. Maybe I just got a bad dvd, I am very disappointed in this. So I re-ordered, but I ordered the VHS tape.

Okay, this is a first for me. I'm going to use crude, deconstructive criticism. I don't want to do it, but watch this movie and you will totally understand. To sum it up; this movie really, really, really stinks. Carrot Top, atleast once in his life, has turned out better stuff than this piece of trash. What could Beau/Jeff Bridges possibly see in Amy Madigan's character? Hmmmm, lemme see; she has a face like John Denver and a chest that's as flatter than an ironing board. (For more references on the word, "ironing board", see "acting" under "Bridges,Beau" in that rebellious smash hit, "Love Child".) Among the many sad notes is that this was Rhea Perlman's big shot at an illustrious film career. And even sadder than that, she was the BEST actor in the entire movie. Well to finish up, if you like torturing yourself by watching bad movies, rent "Love Child". Trust me, it's an utter piece of crap. You'll love it.
