xfiler7 I was on the edge of my seat! Very suspenseful. You have no idea who did it and your suspicion keeps shifting from guy to guy. Well done! Fantastic characters! From the sleazy, shifty bus driver, vomiting college boyfriend, Mexican party boys, to the innocent girls who simply made poor drunk decisions... wonderful all around. Special surprise ending, with a FURTHER lesson to be learned. Beautiful sunrise too! A real prize from Lifetime, should be required viewing for all. If you are a fan of vacation horrors, this is a must see. The scenery: San Diego, the sunrise, the beach, the pool, all made me feel as if I was on vacation too. Pass the margaritas!

Jesse Boland After a rather simple beginning, that appeared to be heading toward a slasher movie in some secluded spring break resort; We are taken on a journey for these Mothers to discover their Daughters true natures, and feelings in a flashback frenzy that somehow is all truthful. That there is the part that fails for the movie as a whole, there is just too much that works out at just the right time for the story to keep rolling. A couple of flashbacks would have worked better with the two stories running in parallel of each other as they finally do get to as the two eventually intersect as they must. This is a well acted movie though with a good cast, and the story even if it is predictable has some good tense moments that are played out well, which is what I Enjoyed the most about the entire production. I recommend this one to Drama fans with Mommy issues, and Mom's who forget that they are not aware of as much as they think they are.

phd_travel This is a better than usual Lifetime movie. Two 18 year old girls travel for Spring Break to San Diego accompanied by their mothers, one protective and one lax. From the title you can gather the girls go missing.The dialog is well written. The way people react is realistic and not melodramatic especially the irresponsible mother and daughter. It's a warning for youngsters about choices about drinking, bad boys, befriending strangers and parenting styles. It's a less tragic more common story than what happened to Natalie Holloway and has some useful lessons without being preachy.Daphne Zuniga gives a believable performance and along with Marcia Cross she is one of the better actresses to have emerged from Melrose Place. Liked that she has aged naturally. The actresses who played the girls are quite good too even if you want to give them a slap.Worth watching.

pixelate9 The writers and director have the actors looking west from California to take photographs of a sunrise. I don't think you can do this. I believe the script says the location is Coronado, CA. Is "Pacific Point" a real place? What am I missing here? As long as I've been alive the sun has risen in the east. The actors have given credible performances. The story line is flabby and, aside from a harrowing experience for Mom, the dialogue, photography and character development are uninspiring. I'm not sure what the theme is in this movie. If it is a warning to young people to behave better and use the brains their parents gave them when it comes drugs, alcohol and avoiding handsome guys with no morals, they could probably do better spending Saturday nights for a couple of months observing what goes on in the emergency room of the hospital where I used to work.
