This film was fairly enjoyable for a piece of mid-afternoon entertainment.
I was drawn in to the story mostly by the two young children and the performance of Pamela Reed as their mother. However, it was almost as though this film couldn't decide if it was about the is she / isn't she story surrounding Caroline, the plight of the poor little rich kids, or the relationships between the adult characters. It was disappointing that none of these subjects was fully explored in the film.
Although the outcome of the is she / isn't she part of the story was painfully obvious from the outset, I was surprised but disappointed by the rushed ending and the inconsistencies in Caroline's character.
Anyway, it would be ridiculous to sit and over analyse a minor TV movie such as this (or any film for that matter), so I'll just finish by saying that it's worth watching if you're a fan of TV movies or films where children are the main focal point.
