Amber's Story (2006)

For all of you who want to comment about the movie being poorly done because of accents and stuff like that can go to hell I went to school with amber I knew her family I helped put out flyer's and hang pink ribbons around Arlington when she went missing don't focus on the acting or accents focus on the message behind the story!!! U heartless s.o.b.'s!!!!!!!! Her mother pushed past the pain and agony of losing a child so young to make the amber alert system to help. So that other parents do not have to suffer the agony that she went through. And for those of you who say that the police should have had her mom as a suspect make me so damn sick to my stomach u heartless bastards! Part of her died the day she found out her baby girl had been ripped from her life by a monster that to this day after 20yrs has not been brought to justice!!!!

I'm not here to nitpick about accents. Elizabeth Rohm gives a wonderful, emotional performance of a brokenhearted, angry mother. All of the actors are great, but Rohm is the one who has to carry the film, and she does so successfully. The second half of the film, which intercuts from future to past, displays how the "Amber Alert" system operates today. It was a very creepy person this working mom chose to watch her daughter. It was riveting, very horrifying at times, and of course, a fitting tribute to a little girl who was stolen from her family by an amoral coward.I hope the coward is caught one day. If he did it to one child, he's done it to another.

This movie aired today again, I never miss it. This is the first time I have written a comment online. But I just had to say we need more movies like this make parents aware of the dangers to our children. I cry every time I watch what this mother went through, but made her daughters memory stay alive and fight for other children. I read the comments from Mr. Parks son, it makes no difference what medical problems he had. he did a very scary thing to this little girl. Again her life might have been saved all due to Donna and what she had to lose to make the Amber Alert possible. Donna you are a wonderful person and so strong. keep up your good work. A loving Mother of 4.

I am from the Dallas/Fort Worth area and lived in Arlington for a few years. This movie was way off as far as making it look like Arlington. I saw mountains in the background of one scene! Texas doesn't have mountains. I guess that happens when a movie that is supposed to be in Texas is filmed in Canada. The accents are also really bad. They should have gotten actors from Texas to play the parts. There a lot of aspiring actors from Texas out in Hollywood. The movie is really sad though, because it is a true story. I pray that the killer is found and convicted. The one good thing is that bc of her death, we now have the Amber Alert to help find missing children quickly after they are abducted.
