This movie has so many faults in it,I don't even know where to begin. The biggest fault is the overused "Abusive husband/abusive father" plot that many other types of media are guilty of(Days of our lives.."Enough"...many of the man-hating programming on Life/Womens' Entertainment Network,etc). A good way to keep teaching children the lie that all fathers are mean,cruel and abusive and that all mothers are good,kind and gentle. This movie meant to deliver a powerful message,but fell flat on its face while screwing facts up horribly.
The name" Mickey" for an abusive man? Could the writers not think of a name that doesn't sound like something you'd name a lovable dopey dog? That's like naming a gentle and very shy woman "Butch". Apparently,the writers were bored out of their skulls and decided to slap a random name on an abusive man.They might as well named the abusive man "Dizzy" or "Buster"8rolls eyes* There are a lot more sensible names out there,like "Evan",for example. But no. The writers decided to not use their heads and slap the name "Mickey" on the guy.
If you read the facts about abusive relationships on the internet,you'd find that women are the abusive aggressor in most domestic violence cases. Don't believe what people tell you about battered women;most of it isn't even true,from what I researched and found out. If you listen to these kinds of people,then you might as well believe people if they tell you that your nose will explode any second now.
Avoid movies like "Burning Bed" and "Enough",and go watch a REAL movie like " Born Free" or "Mommie Dearest".
