Hallmark Hall of Fame movies are usually not romance movies. But it seems like all of them have to have a little side story where the main character flirts with a romantic interest. I don't know why. In this case it really seemed foreign to the rest of the story, but I guess it was a glimpse of what she gave up for Bobby.

This is a hard story. From the moment Bobby walked into Vicki's house, I thought it was obvious that this was a badly abused kid. Vicki knew there were problems with her brother's family, but didn't seem to see how deep Bobby's scars were. It takes a while, and solving several preliminary issues, before she gets to that. And that's pretty much how this story goes. Wading through one issue after another until we reach the expected end.

I don't recommend this for children and even tweens and teens probably need to have their parents watch with them. There are some definite rough spots portrayed.

It's Hall of Fame so the acting, at least for principle characters, is good. The script is good.

Vicki gos to the door and screams for Bobby and the girl comes out and doesn't say anything, then the guy with the spiked red hair opens the door, her reaction is priceless. I thought this movie was kind of a tear jerker, for me anyways, but I loved it anyway. I've been a fan of Taylor Handley for like, the longest time. I wanted to jump into the movie and give him a hug. Did anyone else have any opinions on it. Plus, I really like Marcia, she did an awesome job, feeling sorry for Bobby and at the same time kind of feel annoyed with Bobby there :) And I liked the mini transformation from when he was all messed up and at the end where is cleans up and looks nice. I know I'm sounding cheesy but I really liked this movie.

Sometimes the effects of a dysfunctional family do not appear until a situation comes to light. "In From the Night" brings that awareness to Vicki through her nephew Bobby. In helping him change his life she becomes aware of things in her own life that she has tried to deal with. This is a very emotional story.

In dealing with these tough subjects of abuse and mental illness in a dysfunctional family, Hallmark has presented a very heartwarming film, one that shows sometimes it takes others in need to help in the process of healing our own wounds. Because of the subject content and some of the abuse flashbacks I recommend it for twelve and above. James Welch Henderson Arkansas 4/7/2021.
