The series it's based on was my favorite VC Andrews series, so I expected more from this. There was very little character development in the film, which may be what led to the lackluster performances. It seemed like someone just compiled a bullet list of major plot points and presented each event with just a few lines of flat dialogue, one after another. The setting could have been better utilized, too, with the bayou and New Orleans providing more mood/atmosphere and giving it the Southern Gothic feel that was present in the books.

Zero substance, very disappointing.

NOT AUTHENTIC
No accent, the music is louder than the actors voices and it didn't have a southern sound. It had the same vibe as all the other lifetime movies....bad acting, bad directing, music too loud. Worse than a B movie. I remember the older lifetime movies. I looked forward to watching those...and watching the reruns. These movies today are just not good. You people...I'm glad you can't ruin the books like you have ruined ALL of V C Andrews' books.

Painfully bad, and I hate to leave bad reviews, but the acting is terrible. Naomi Judd shouldn't have been chosen as the grandma.
