The Plain Truth (2004)

A newborn is found dead in a serene, simple Amish farming community. Was it a tragic accident or could it be murder? That's the shocking question facing high-profile criminal lawyer Ellie Harrison (Mariska Hargitay), who ditches her self-indulgent city life to head to rural Pennsylvania. Ellie must defend an 18-year-old Amish girl, Katie (Alison Pill), who stands accused of killing her baby. Despite the surmounting evidence, the teen insists that she was never pregnant. While trying to learn her client's secrets, Ellie is forced to live with the Amish and attempts to break down the barriers of this very private society. Inspired by the best-selling Jodi Picoult novel of the same name.

Horrible

Most Lifetime movies aren't worth watching (unless you're in the mood for, well, a Lifetime movie), but this one actually looked promising. For the most part, it was interesting, up until the "surprising twist," which nearly caused me to vomit. I would never recommend this to anyone, it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen, and I've seen some bad ones. Go check out My Stepson, My Lover instead. December 27, 2007

pretty good

I pretty muck picked this up based on Mariska Hargitay on Law & Order. This could have been better as a series than a movie. Mariska is wonderful as always. Its a shame she doesn't get top Hollywood roles. August 31, 2007

The Plain Truth

Excellent movie, although it was made for TV the story line is such that it will grab you and have you trying to find out the ending before the movie is half over. Highly recommend the movie. August 29, 2007

A dissapointing movie from a wonderful novel!

While reading Jodi Picoult's novel, I could picture the scenes forming into a movie in my head. I then ran across it on here, and had to buy it.

All I can say is that I was very, very disappointed. The characters are not developed, the storyline is weak, and it was crammed into such a short time that it hurts the telling of what is a truly amazing story. April 11, 2007
