Geeky Randy’s summary
Weight defines the performer, apparently, with Lifetime casting their boniest actress over 40 (O’Kelley) as a woman trying to save adopted daughter Kell (who couldn’t be more stereotypical) from criminal Gavin (who’s more an idiot-daredevil than a menace), and finds the girl’s biological mother and brother (Hinkle and Alberti, respectively—both delivering more depth than any of the other principal characters) as unlikely allies. Frequently inexplicable: officer Pettis would never just give out an address just because someone asked for it; O’Kelley is such a hypocrite, that it’s difficult to root for her; oh, and then there’s the little kid Hopkins, who hasn’t got a clue as to what’s going on, but can still conveniently hack needed information by visiting one website. As if the story weren’t lame enough, the movie fluffs itself by pointless subplots and other detours. Pretty close to being bottom-of-the-barrel, but is saved halfway decent acting and polished editing.*½ (out of four)
The Brown-Eyed Mother
Candace (Candy) White is a seventeen-year-old who learns a tough lesson in her biology class. She argues with her teacher that her brown eyes were the product of her two blue-eyed parents. The teacher stands firm on the topic of recessive genes, so Candy takes the argument home, where she learns from her blue-eyed mom Shannon that she was an adopted child. Thus begins Candy’s quest for her brown-eyed birth mom.While the feisty Candy was portrayed as a snot-nosed brat through most of the film, she becomes slightly more sympathetic after meeting her birth mother and understanding how deeply her adoptive mother loves her.
The best scene in the film was the meeting of Candy with her birth mother, Callie Tresser. After walking into the house “wasted” from a drinking binge, Callie sobers up enough to recount to Candy how she had spied on her on occasion as she was growing up. Callie conveys what a devoted mother Shannon was and how Callie would never have been able to give the child such a loving home. This was a tear-jerker of a scene that was especially well acted by the performers.
A subplot in which Candy forms an attraction to an unsavory chap named Tobias (“Toby”) Alton leads her into the dangerous world of loan sharking, knives, guns, and robbery. Behind the scenes, Shannon is working to locate the whereabouts of her runaway daughter through a slick private detective named Mike Foster.
All roads converge in a climatic shoot-out with all hands arrive on deck: Candy, Toby, his wounded cousin Kennan, the thug that they robbed, Candy’s newly discovered “brother” Vance Tresser, and Shannon, who just resigned from her job as a make-up artist in order to ensure her wayward daughter’s safety.
While highly melodramatic, the emotional moments were heartfelt as the film’s main theme of a mother’s love for her daughter was given a double dosage–one with a mom with blue eyes and the other with brown.
