Your Reviews

Bates is a great actress.Here she is a protective mother who senses things going on with her husband.This "filthy creep" takes all the hard earned money Dolores works for,and cheats his daughter out o... f college funds.When Joe gets drunk and crass,Dolores gets revenge and he gets his "just desserts";We find out Joe has been molesting selena,his innocent daughter.Dolores gets in law trouble.A detective hounds her because he knows something she did to her hubby. Joe gets angry,and she plants a hole he falls into.When a wealthy friend kills herself,the detective puts the blame on dolores again. Jennifer Love Hewitt plays the confused Selena,who seems oblivious to what happened,until she takes the same ferry shared by her and her father.Bates is fabulous in any film she tackles.My favorite is "Fried Green Tomatoes, and I love her!
