Mainstream Movie About Father's Rights

	CJ writes "In Evelyn, Pierce Brosnan is a father who loses his job and his wife leaves him. Because of custody law, he isn't allowed to keep his three young children who are taken away and put into orphanages. With the help of friends, he prepares to take on the Irish Supreme Court. As 'Ebert & Roeper' stated on their show, "it's nice to see a show about fathers, as fathers are now usually only depicted as absent or evil.""

I can't wait to see this movie... (Score:1) by ppmnow (ppm_now@hotmail.com) on Monday December 09, @01:29PM EST (#1) (User #1071 Info) I've always liked Brosnan, especially since the 1987 movie entitled "The Fourth Protocol", also starring Michael Caine. Anyway, if this movie is worth the 8 or so bucks for entry, I'll let everyone know. See you at the movies. Mitchell A.

It is the lesbian/feminist family courts who kidnap children from their fathers and not the Catholic Church, which has very little power in Ireland to-day. My fear is that this film could be feminist "spin". Hopefully, I'm wrong.

It probably IS. Why do I sound so certain? Because the mainstream media has known about this film for nearly a year, (I think) and have been very careful not to mention it in their lists of up-comeing films. Also, it may be an AWARD WINNER! God forbid a motion picture that depicts a Dad in a positive light, not only gets an award but shines the light of truth on the usualy hidden violations of men's and father's rights! Heaven FORBID! It might even get people talking about MEN'S ISSUES! Dear Lord, we CAN'T have that!! Of course Jennifer Lopez's movie "ENOUGH" was a stink-bomb of a film, and it flopped HARD, But because it showed men as EEEEVIL..., and was politicaly-correct and showed Lopez "Beatin' up on the Dog", the media couldn't contain themselves! Months before it even came out, there was a media blitz about it. I still remember on one of our local news channels where I live, a female reporter began her report on the flick with, "Better watch out, guys! Women aren't takein' it anymore and J Lo is here to prove it!" Gee, I wonder if any reporters will say;, "Watch out Gals, Men aren't takein' it any more, and Brosnan is here to prove it!" ...Not LIKELY, I'd say. Yeah, when a movie like J Lo's "ENOUGH" comes out, the media always wets themselves with antisipation. But when a movie like this Pirce Brosnan one comes out..., Nothing but the sound of cricketts.         Thundercloud.
