Movie #671 ........................."The Pact"

Movie #671 "The Pact" is not very good at all --- I had read the Jodi Piccoult novel and was anxious to see it, so when I saw it on the Lifetime channel the other night, I made sure to watch it. I was trying to remember why I liked the book so much because there seemed to be no information given in the movie --- maybe I missed something, but by the end of the movie we still don't really realize why the girl was so depressed, and what their relationship was really like, why the mother of the son and the father of the daughter were kissing in a scene or two (what was their background) and several other questions --- way too much missing from here, and just focused on the mother of the dead girl and how she hated the other family. That's only one facet of the big story, and really the big story should have focussed on the two kids, in my opinion. Didn't give it a 1 because it had a very good opening --- but that was it. So if you just plan to watch the first 20 minutes, here's the movie! I give it 2 stars out of 5 Cast: Megan Mulally, Juliet Stephenson A pair of young lovers, one depressed, decide to end their lives together in a suicide pact. This movie shows the aftermath for each member of both families, following the suicide and the prosecution of the one survivor of the suicide pact.
