**"Stolen Baby": Emily Osment Delivers a Riveting Performance in an Unforgettable True Story**
As bad as it could be
I understand that Lifetime movies aren't exactly Oscar worthy, but COME ON!! The dialogue was terrible, the acting was horrendous, and the storyline was empty. You don't really get a true feel for what Meghan's motive was. Was she jealous? Was she desperate for a child? Was she trying to prevent her boyfriend from breaking up with her? Was she just mentally ill?
We don't even really find out what happened. Did the girls have a fight? Did she plan it? Why did the boyfriend believe he was the father? The baby is 3 weeks old when Heidi is killed. Did the boyfriend ask when the baby was born? Did he want to know if he was listed as the father? Did he wonder why he didn't have to sign the birth certificate?
I think I could have possibly overlooked the writing since it's not a murder mystery. We know what happened when the first scene begins. First line in the movie, "Why did you do it?" Last line in the movie, "Why did you do it?" But the acting is SOOO bad and you gain zero information from the opening and closing scenes. The yellow makeup on the baby is so fake it looks ridiculous. Waste of time.
