Escaping Dad (2017 TV Movie)
7/10
Escaping Dad a.k.a Jenny Lopez's "Enough"
23 July 2017
23 July 2017: I remember when I was in college, I was a cinema major and one of my college professors told the class that there aren't any new ideas, every film or t.v show has been done at least once. All that has changed is a new twist on an old film idea.

He then made a good valid point of telling the class of an old 70's movie starring Clint Eastwood, "Play Misty For Me" in 1971 and then came a similar film with Michael Douglas, "Fatal Attraction" in 1987 and then African American version film with Martin Lawrence, "Thin Line Between Love and Hate" in 1996 all have one thing in common, after a 1 night stand, the woman will not stop and becomes a stalker.

So alone comes a pretty good made for t.v movie "Escaping Dad" which is very similar to beautiful and talented Jennifer Lopez in the movie "Enough" in 2002. By the way this version has actor Casper Van Dien's daughter in it and the abusive husband is just like the one in the film "Enough", but instead of wife/mother with one kid, in this version, it's mom and two kids. Husband is the same in both films, a well-established man in the town and has influence with the public. I liked Jenny Lopez's film more, but this one is not bad. 7 up.
