The Deep End of the Ocean
Ten years before, Sam and Beth lost their beloved son when he vanished without a trace. Ten year later, a young boy living next door comes before and asks if he can mow their lawn. It's when the idea of blood-connection flashes in the mind of the couple.

A respectable family drama, but is all the more disappointing since it is obvious that it could have been so much more.

a flawed but often effective family drama that turns on the deepest fear of every parent or guardian: that one dumb move, a single moment of neglect that can turn the rest of your life inside out.

Kudos to Michelle Pfeiffer and Treat Williams.

Grosbard...forgets the need for character motivation, point of view, or anything else that might make this compelling subject an interesting film.

Michelle Pfeiffer turns in an impassioned performance of often gut-wrenching intensity in a film that deserves far less.

Sometimes in tragedies healing can only take place when love means letting go.

If Pfeiffer doesn't fill your tear ducts at some point in the film, see your doctor and have them checked.

Well-acted but pedestrian TV-like melodrama what what consitutes a family, or sociology versus biology in the kinship debate.
