Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

JillClarke2 All in all, Glass House: The Good Mother was a rather dull film, in spite of the coolest looking house outside of Haunted Hill. Don't get me wrong, it had potential, but week writing and some rather silly acting kept it from getting off of the starter block.== Here there be spoilers == The plot is straight forward. A demented mother and her husband (who acted more like a vampire's thrall) like to adopt children. The problem lies in the fact that the mother (played by Angie Harmon) also likes to make them sick in order to score mommy brownie points. The film picks up between adopted child 4 and the new batch (Abby and Evan). Things go down hill fast, for both the kids and the viewers. There were some truly creepy parts, mostly focusing on Angie Harmon talking to her new pet projects in a simpering tone, or showing up at random behind Abby (something that probably terrified Jack McCoy on Law and Order).

whpratt1 This film deals with two children, Abby Snow,(Jordan Hinson) and her bother, Ethan Snow,(Bobby Coleman) who are adopted by a husband and wife. These two children become very happy with their new home and parents and things start to change. Abby begins to suspect some very dark secrets that her mother has in her room. Abby also finds out that her brother Ethan is becoming ill and she fears for her life. Eve Goode, (Angie Harmon) plays the role as the mother of Abby and Ethan and gives an outstanding performance as a rather moody and depressed mother who controls her children as if they were intruders. There is plenty of suspense and thrilling moments in this film and it is well produced and directed.

Claudio Carvalho One year after losing their son David, Eve Goode (Angie Harmon) and her husband Raymond Goode (Joel Gretsch) adopt the orphan Ethan Snow (Bobby Coleman) and his teenager sister Abby Snow (Jordan Hinson) and bring them to their mansion nearby a lake. Abby faces difficulties of adaptation in her new home, and she confronts Eve, who proves to be deranged and unstable. When Ethan gets sick, Abby tries to contact their friend, detective Ben Koch (Jason London), and she realizes that her brother and she are trapped in the house."The Good Mother" is predictable, full of clichés, but still a reasonable B-movie. The story has a tense beginning, but there is no previous development of the characters Abby and Ethan Snow or Ben Koch. The viewer does not know who they are or their relationship. The attitude of Abby when she moves to her foster house is totally ungrateful and unfair with her stepparents that gives a magnificent room in a wonderful house, triggering the insanity of Eve. It is difficult to understand teenagers most of the times, but there is no explanation for the feelings of Abby when she moves to the Goode's house without a previous development of her character. In the end, the forgettable "The Good Mother" is an enjoyable entertainment. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "A Casa de Vidro 2" ("The House of Glass 2")

TequilaMockingbird63 First before I start with my comment I have to say I oddly have NEVER seen Angie Harmon (who plays the mother/wife Eve Goode) act. but WOW, I WAS IMPRESSED and will look for her in future. Looking amazingly like Ali MacGraw in Love Story she was beautiful yet calculating, creepy and just plain deranged. A perfect female villain ala Fatal Attraction meets Psycho meets The Stepford Wives. Things begin innocently enough with a mysterious disappearance of a little boy, the son of seemingly loving parents but before long we sense not all is right with this mother. Lets just say she loves her cleaning supplies! We next meet two children who have apparently just lost their parents and (although a little unclear in the plot) are Fostered by the mourning parents "the Goodes" (clever title juxtaposition). Before long Eves evil ways start to show (the dish washing scene is particularly disturbing) the Teenage girl clashes with the tight "house rules" and as her little brother begins to mysteriously get sick the rebellious protective sister's suspicion begins. WARNING ****PROBABLY CONTAINS BIG SPOILERS***** Based on characters created by Wesley Strick (who wrote the screenplay for "Cape Fear" and "Arachnophobia") I was intrigued to research Munchausen's Syndrome or Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy. the disease we find the creepy lead character "may" have.Background on the disease: From 1972 to 1985, all 9 children of Marybeth Tinning of Schenectady, N.Y. died in infancy. At first, friends and physicians assumed they were victims of "crib death" or an inexplicable genetic flaw. As the deaths continued, suspicion mounted against the mother, who was always alone when her babies were stricken. It's oddly more common than people are aware. basically Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy is where women kill their own children for the attention they receive. This was a pretty good film but i have to say a few things frustrated me - number 1 - why would hubby played by the handsome Joel Gretsch go along and seemingly "cover" his wife's psychotic behavior as if he was almost an accomplice and 2, why the Caseworker (played by a very likable Tasha Smith) did not pick up the fact apparently "several" kids have died or gone missing under the care of this couple. Enjoyable enough it will be worth watching as a Movie of the Week on Television someday. 7 out of 10 stars.
