  For surely this is melodrama at its worst. Girl is kidnapped and parents, although divorced, go crazy looking for her. Until this vampire looking crystal ball psychic comes along with raccoon looking eyes to help them find her. Turns out she is a phony (it's all right we know this in the beginning) If she is a psychic, I'm, Merlin the Magician. The real evil one, the planner, I'll not tell you, it's not worth it, is an over the hill bitch with that idiotic long frizzy unruly hair falling down to her ass, and acting like she's playing Madea. Too much. No saviors in the acting department in this loser. Just a run of the mill cast doing a run of the mill story that has been done many times before, Just the names of the characters are changed. The mother annoyed me beyond words with her wimpy whining and silly acting. The men do better in underplaying in this. The women are not good. None of them. And on we go.

  This film had me at the edge of my seat. It just wasn't dealing with the kidnapping of a wealthy teenager and its effects on her divorced parents, the dad having remarried and wife #2, much younger, is just too sympathetic to believe. Instead, the film concerns itself with a hideous plot by a seer hired by the second wife to do the kidnapping and then have the police follow her sightings. As if this isn't enough, we have an over-zealous news anchor who is ready to go to the top of his profession no matter what. The psychic's husband, basically a good Joe, was talked into this mess by his overly ambitious and apparently evil wife. There are constant plot twists and by the film's end, everyone gets what is coming to them.
