Abducted: The Carlina White Story (2012)

the leading man is my tpye

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Carlina White abduction and subsequent events were all over mainstream media in 2011-12. It was and is an amazing story on its own. Alas, a docudrama was bound to be put out soon, and sure it did.The major critique I have on this movie is that its writing is outright bad. Clichés, discontinued story lines, simplistic and stereotyping portrayals of people who were accessory to the story all contribute to make this feature lame, simple in a bad way, adding nothing to the main narrative, exploring no additional angles. Nothing. Editing is also limited and hurried, especially on the later third of the movie.I give it therefore a 5/10 score for its limited quality. Yes, the real-life story is amazing and compelling, that is no excuse for bad production, though.

The intensity was present and the story line was so realistic. I can go on and on and on!! This movie is so good! It was actually better than good and I cried more than I thought. I cried so incredibly much much! Omg I truly recommend this movie! Gosh the acting was amazing . Lifetime did an awesome job with the casting and the storyline. Considering that this movie is based on a true story makes it even more better. I originally watched this movie on Netflix and I'm Glad that I had the opportunity to see it. At first I was unsure about the movie, but it's a top movie to see. Lifetime thanks again for the great movie and acting!

Based on the real incident that happened in the back 80s in New York city. The story of missing baby, Carlina White, who finally found her biological parents after 23 years later. Totally unbearable and heartbreaking story that no one ever wants to face in their life. Almost similar kinda story to 'October Baby' which was also based on the real. In that movie where a baby is forsaken by the birth parent. After many years later the grown up baby finds her real parents. But in this one, it was same, rather abandon it was abducted. Both the movies were emotionally delightful, just like what tearjerkers expecting.When Carlina White was a two week old baby she was abducted by a woman called Ann Pettway. Pettway who had three straight miscarriages is no longer can carry another baby. With a desperate to have a child she decides to kidnap Carlina and raises as her own by giving another name to her as Nejdra 'Netty' Nance. The real parents never stop searching for their missing child. The years pass, after two decades later they finally find her and the remaining briefs very clearly the rest.The story does not end after the reunification of parents and child. It takes a little further where the time come for Ann Pettway to suffer for her unlawful act. And also Carlina White, who find herself in a confusion state between two identities of her. In all her life she was known as Netty, to find herself surrounded by unknown people with a birth name puts life into stake. The story explains from all the movie character's perspective. From a mother and father who lost their child to the kidnapper's view as well the grown up baby's. A movie never wants to miss which was inspired by the remarkable true story.

I highly enjoyed this movie. It did everything right. The acting was on target and the story was a real tearjerker. Another hit for Lifetime, of course I love love Lifemovies so I am biased. I also pat the channel on the back because they seem to have come to their senses as of late...everybody is not white in America. I'm black, and though I don't partake in very much "black entertainment", I still like to see that somebody out there is perhaps making tiny steps to understand that you can't just focus on stories involving white people.I felt a bit sorry for every person involved the case, even Ann; she was a pathetic creature who had a lousy lot in life, and the actress made you feel more than just hate for her. At the end of the day, she still is rotten and deserves to stay in jail for at least 23 years.
