Lifetime Movie

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

This movie was an interesting watch. You empathize with Gail, who is comes across as a very likable person who loves her kid(s). It is sad and it might make you cry. I felt bad because I actually laughed at some of Andrew's bizarre antics upon return and then immediately felt guilty. The movie does end on a good note, a break through that you start to think isn't going to happen while you're watching the movie. It literally happens at the very end so you do feel like it's worth the watch. I don't really know if it's "taming" but adapting to and accepting who Andrew has become would better describe the content of the movie.

My only complaint is who is this true story actually based on? At the end it says the father was persecuted. Were all the names changed? I understand that it might be the case for the sake of privacy but I'm left a little a confused by this.

It's a good movie and worth the watch. It IS a LifeTime movie. If you're into Lifetime movies, you'll likely love it. If you're not one that likes the Lifetime kind of movies you might want to skip it.

Taming Andrew

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2007

Verified Purchase

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.

Gail lets her ex-husband, Ted and teenage girlfriend have Andrew for the weekend. Ted doesn't return the child as promised that evening. Agonized and stressed out, Gail and her new husband, Eddie await Andrew's arrival. However, he doesn't get back until 5 years later.

Andrew is not the same child he was. He has severe emotional problems brought on by the abuse at the hands of his real father. Gail goes to a child psychologist to get help.

Social Services is called in and and the representative wants Andrew put into a special on-campus school for disturbed and handicapped children. Gail refuses to go along with this. She does not want to lose her son again. Gail takes Andrew out of regular school where he is teased and ignored by the other kids.

She teaches Andrew at home and on her brother Jack's farm. At the farm, Andrew loves the animals but is bored with having to do homework. At the end of the movie, Andrew finally reveals to Gail the bad things his father and girlfriend did to him.

Gripping and very emotional performances. Seth Adkins is great here. A talented young actor has done even more feature films and TV shows.

You'll need a box of kleenex while watching this sad but overwhelmingly thought-provoking movie.

Inspiring

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2019

Spoiler Alert Absolutely One of my favorite Lifetime movies, wish lifetime would play more meaningful movies like this again, Lord knows we need them. The mother is so inspiring in this movie, she went through a lot to get her son back, after finally being united with her son it doesn't get any easier the child has behavioral problems that was caused from trauma after being with his father but the mother hung in there with her son, love wouldn't let her give up, even though sometimes it became really hard and frustrating for her, she wouldn't give up her. Th e Original Title is When Andrew Came Home because of this title, at first I actually thought this was a sequal or something lol

I had ordered Taming Andrew, but was happy to find there were 10 movies on the disc. Many of them look really good and I'm looking forward to watching them all.

All too true in the past and still too true in the present!

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

Andrew is an example of a sick, selfish parent who put himself before his son's well-being. The resulting psychological damage is almost irreversible. One thing that is true is that the most important thing in his new life are adults, especially, his mother who refuses to let his mentally ill behavior make her quit on him or dump him in an institution. These children need an anchor and birth and/or adoptive parents have to be one. Recommend it but not for the faint of heart!

Taming Andrew is awesome entertainment and information.

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2006

Verified Purchase

Taming Andrew is a must see for anyone interested in child development and the consequences of the lack of guidance by a loving and responsive parent/guardian. The plot acurately portrays what took place in real life when andrew is kidnapped by his criminal father at an early age and returned about age eight. Andrew has had neither love or parenting during his captivity. It is now up to mother, who loves him very much, to make up for the lost socialization and bonding processes that are essential in those early years. Highly Recommended, without any reservation!!!

Not a "feel good" movie. But an excellent one with hope.

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

Realistic. What the child and mother went through, and the mothers emotions were very real. Obviously in a movie all isn't seen and the difficulties would be ongoing, but with that reality the emotions became real to me, the only reason I wouldn't recommend it is if you are presently dealing with trauma as it may be upsetting.
