reeves2002 Review of Glass House: The Good Mother

Glass House: The Good Mother (2006 Video)

Glass house should not have been in the title of this so called sequel

[3/10 · 8 October 2006]

I had a feeling I may not enjoy this film because a lot of straight to DVD sequels are bad.I think I would have enjoyed this movie more if the name "Glass house" was not associated with it.This movie should have only been called "the good mother".It was not a sequel to the first one at all,and had nothing at all to do with a glass house and was like watching a made for TV movie.It had no plot and the story was rushed.The deleted scenes were almost better.They were good and explained more of the story so i don't understand why they were deleted to begin with. Just like the beginning of the story being rushed,the ending sucked as well.It never explained what becomes of the girl and her brother after their rotten experience with the foster parents.Also there was a back story mentioned near the beginning of the movie that was never mentioned or addressed again. The whole movie was very unrealistic and I am angry it was called Glass house 2.I really liked the 1st one because it had a plot,the characters were believable,it had a nice thunderstorm and atmosphere, and it had an acceptable ending.Even if this bad sequel had a small budget,again it should never have been associated with the 1st one period!
