This is another quality Hallmark made-for-TV movie. It reminds me a little of the movie Saving Sarah Cain, which I viewed and reviewed recently. In that movie the main actress discovers that she has “inherited” her sisters Amish children. In this move the main character finds out that she has a step-sister and learns some new things about her recently deceased father. Both movies were suitable for the entire family, wholesome and entertaining. Not the typical Hollywood trash dumped on the market week after week and glorified and honored with Oscars . . .
The movie, Thicker than Water, is set in California, in Los Angeles and in the country around L.A. Melissa Gilbert is the star of the movie and does an excellent acting job. She plays a well-to-do attorney, Natalie Jones. Shortly after her father passes away, she is made aware of a strange photograph, which her father's faithful secretary gives her. The photo turns out to be a picture of her father’s first wife, of whom Natalie knew nothing about.
Much of the movie involves an evolving mystery which reveals that she has a step-sister who is the very opposite of the refined and polished L.A. attorney, Natalie. Natalie discovers other secrets, which makes the movie very interesting. One thing she discovers is that her father’s fist wife was a rodeo cowgirl who loved horse and part of her passion was to protect the wild horses on and near her property.
RATING
I would give this movie a **** out of *****. I happened to find the movie in one of those bargain bins at Wal-mart. Once in a while you could find a good movie in the $5 box. This was one of them. I would encourage you to pick on up is you see it. The dual theme of blood (for relatives) and water (for thirsty horses) run throughout the movie.
