For the most part, THE GREATEST is a Lifetime movie masquerading as an indie drama. The film wastes tons of opportunities to move into deeper/darker emotional waters, and worst of all, it rushes into a haphazard, unrealistic ending that ties everything up nicely in a horribly unconvincing way. The simple-mindedness of this script is completely incompatible with the strength of the performances giv... read more

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since there was a really nice cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out.

Teenagers Rose and Bennett Brewer were in love, and then a car crash claimed Bennett's life. He left behind a grieving mother, father and younger brother, and Rose was left all alone. She has no family to turn to for support, so when she finds out she's pregnant, she winds up at the Brewer's door. She needs their help, and although they can't quite admit it, they each need her so they can begin to heal.

So, the material was pretty good but, unfortunately, Shana Feste, in her directing debut, never really managed to mix these 2 stories together. Indeed, for some reason, she basically forced these parents and this pregnant teenage girl to live together but it never worked. I mean, how are we supposed to believe that a high-school student really have no one to support her at all? It was never clearly explained thr” read more
