Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Scott LeBrun "Far from Home" is mostly noteworthy for its casting of 13-going-on-14 years old Drew Barrymore in her first adolescent role. Drew plays Joleen Cox, a girl on vacation with her father Charlie (Matt Frewer), a journalist. Running out of gas in a remote part of Nevada, they're forced to take temporary lodgings in a trailer park. Here they meet the local residents, chief among them two boys who take an interest in Joleen. Andras Jones ("A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master") is the punkish Jimmy Reed, son of landlord Agnes Reed (the legendary Susan Tyrrell). Anthony Rapp ("Adventures in Babysitting") is the more sensitive, well meaning Pinky Sears. Unfortunately, one of them just might be psychotic enough to kill people.The script by Tommy Lee Wallace (longtime John Carpenter associate who directed "Halloween III: Season of the Witch") is much too routine, and very predictable. Viewers may also feel uncomfortable with the cameras' ogling of Drew at any and every opportunity. However, while the story may be too trite to work all that well, director Meiert Avis takes full advantage of the rural settings. He and his capable crew, including cinematographer Paul Elliott and production designer Victoria Paul, milk these settings for as much atmosphere as possible. So "Far from Home" is at least successful enough on a visual level. It might disappoint people expecting more of a slasher film and a higher body count, but it does get fairly gory on occasion.One good thing is that these filmmakers do make some nice casting choices. Drew does alright in the central role, possessing a natural likability and vulnerability, as well as the expected resentment towards her paternal figure, well played by Frewer. He's good as the kind of father that means well but can still be seen as annoying. Richard Masur is wonderful as Duckett, a latter-day hippie kind of character. Jennifer Tilly is decent and as sexy as ever as Amy, who for whatever reason shares a trailer with another local, Louise (lovely Karen Austin). Jones and Rapp are both good. Tyrrell is a real force of nature during her time on screen. The always welcome Dick Miller plays the Sheriff, and John Spencer can be glimpsed on a TV monitor.An adequate B movie at best, watchable but also forgettable.Five out of 10.

Matthew_Capitano 5 stars. . . . all for beautiful and talented Susan Tyrrell whose perfect and funny portrayal of a trailer trash mom steals the show.Even Drew Barrymore's little bikini scene doesn't save this light scare-fest from expected oblivion, but the film is redeemed whenever Susan is on-screen, especially during the scenes that involve the 'loving' home-life she provides for her two rotten kids. Richard Masur is cool as an ascetic desert rat, but a wet mop would have fared better than Matt Frewer (of 'Max Headroom' notoriety) as Drew's goofy father.Contemporary B-film which doesn't quite deliver the thrills, but stands as one to check out just to see Susan Tyrrell call her daughter to the evening meal by yelling "Dinnertime!" right into her ear at close range. . . . fish sticks, anyone?

CyMaddux Fair thriller about a father/daughter tandem that gets stranded in a trailer park due to the lack of gasoline. Berrymore does an average job, the best acting probably on behalf of Pinky Sears. If nothing else, the story is just good enough to keep you tuned in and it sure doesn't hurt when you have two of the hottest females in Berrymore, and more so in Tilly, who I cant believe is 31 in this movie! she looks so fine. I wish Jennifer Tilly would have done some films before she got so old, but she still looks pretty fine in this movie. I have to give it a 5 because its just that- average.. and I laugh at the 54 people that gave this a "10" no way in hell.

lharmon The film was good, but would have been much better if there was more of the woman in the trailer. She was the best thing in the whole movie! She kept us all wanting for more. Perhaps she might have played the Drew Barrymore part?
