FOR THE LOVE OF NANCY is your typical Lifetime movie. You know the kind, it's drawn out with very little plot, and it's all summed up under two hours. The acting was dry. The plot was uninteresting. Tracy Gold, although an anorexic in her real life, simply did not capture the darkness and despair of an authentic anorexic.
Tracy was quite large for the part she was playing. I do not blame the badness of the movie on that, because I would not want her to starve in order to play this part. It's just, it was hard to sympathies with the character of Nancy when she was crying about her eating disorder when she was clearly at a healthy weight.
Also, following suit of a badly made Lifetime movie, she sure "caught" anorexia fast and "healed" in the speed of light. Anyone who knows anything about eating disorders knows that not only do you not just wake up one day starving yourself to death, you also do not admit you have a problem and immediately become well and go back to normal.
If you have nothing else to do, you could watch FOR THE LOVE OF NANCY, I suppose. Only, I suggest you have some pizza to occupy your attention during this melodrama mess.
