POST NUMERO UNO : ZOE GONE

Two seconds in and I know this is not the typical teen lifetime movie. Long gone are the days of Tori Spelling and Fred Savage! New Lifetime movie, same story! I am a fan of Lifetime and i obsess over the dramatic music and tangled plots! My favorite Lifetime theme? TEEN PREGNANCY. So many iconic Lifetime movies in the "babies having babies" genre. No one plays a young mother quite like Kirsten Dunst! Back to the movie... We start with a young mother , Jennifer, and her young baby! What's the kid's name again? Randy (the father) is a bit of a jerk and refuses to acknowledge his child! Jennifer and her own mother spend a large portion of the first thirty minutes arguing. Her mother als had Jennifer at a young age and hates that her daughter is now in the same situation! Did I mention Randy doesn't pay child support? All seems well until an angst you Jennifer sneaks out to party with her friend. While at the party, Jen spots ol Randy lip locking with someone else! Things do NOT end well. Skip to the next important scene! Jennifer has met Randy at the park. He walks over to her bench and she exclaims "just give me the check!" YES JENNIFER GET THAT CHILD SUPPORT CHECK AND THEN GO HOME YOU DONT OWE HIM ANYTHING However, Randy feels otherwise! He seems to forgot something in his truck... He runs to the truck... He runs back... He brought Jennifer... FLOWERS. Flowers? FLOWERS! The two spend the next couple of seconds fawning over their newly found love but HEY WHY ISNT THAT GENERIC TRACK OF BABIES CRYING PLAYING... Jennifer then turns and shouts for baby Zoe! She is no longer here yet her stroller and hat are! Somehow the same friend for the party is back and there's a detective in a great navy blazer when WHO COMES SCREAMING LIKE A MAD WOMAN? Jennifer's mom! She is reacting how any sane adult would react. WHAT HAPPENED AND HOW COULD YOU? The detective then intervenes between mom and daughter. She's right. This isn't going to get them anywhere. Did I mention Jennifer (the teenager, not the baby) has a stepdad? He and Jennifer share a warm moment. He reassured her that everything will be okay. Fast forward to Jennifer passing out flyers. Everything seems to be going okay until Detective Camel Trench tells us that a body has been found. The body also happens to be that of a baby. I am at the edge of this hospital recliner when this movie is interrupted by a commercial with a woman telling me u can also fast teach my career if I attend Colorado Technical Institute of Phoenix or something! BORING! Back to the baby! Was the body Zoe's? Maybe just a Zoe look alike? MAYBE IT WAS A PROP MEANT TO DISTRACT FROM ZOE'S DISSAPEARANCE? PERHAPS PLANTED BY RANDY? I highly suspect Randy has something to do with this. I just get that vibe from him. TAMPON COMMERCIALS! ERICTILE DISFUNCTION! And we're back! Jennifer has just been informed and who runs up to hold her... JENNIFER'S MOM! That woman is everywhere and nowhere! She must've be saving people from burning buildings in Gotham! We see squads of cop cars drive past them when Jennifer and her mom zoom past them in their car! They want to know if it's baby Zoe! Detective Beach Waves informs us.... IT IS NOT ZOE. Baby lives to fight another day! HOLD UP. What IS THIS? Some girl with bad Maybelline dye box red hair is buying diapers at a convenient store? This cashier is being far too chatty! "How many kids you got?" GIRL. Who cares? WAIT... FOUR KIDS. Now this girl with the bad dye job has a flyer of Zoe and she crumbles it and throws it! HEY! The safety of Zoe depends on that yellow flyer. Ohhhh... THEY HAVE BABY ZOE! Jennifer knocks on Detective Gap Shirt's door. Jen pours her heart out to this detective who happens to have a perfectly coiffed mane! Tears and coffee cups. EVERYWHERE. Jennifer owns that she hasn't been the best mom but she wants Zoe back. Detective Side Pony says "Motherhood is tough but rewarding" SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK this detective sure does have a cute kid and rushes the kid off to bed.. BED? BUT THE LIGHT BEHIND THESE FAKE WINDOWS ARE BRIGHT? ITS PRACTICALLY NOON OUT THERE? Now we have this girl with the bad hair again and she has baby Zoe. Z seems to be sporting her pink Women's March gear in solidarity with Detective Skinny Jeans! WOMEN! This girl has a major issue with her.boyfriend smoking on the couch! SHE HAS HAD IT. THE JIG IS UP THERE ARE FLYERS EVEYWHERE! Zoe is screaming and so am I. We learn that Tammy (that's her name) are planning on selling this kid for 200k. Have I mentioned Zoe is adorable?

She sure is! I'll have to continue this on another post! NURSES AWAIT!

I typed this lengthy post about Randy and his hoodie and how it was too hot to be wearing one and how HE CLEARLY KNOWS SOMETHING AFTER STANDING AGAINST THE ENTRANCE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO TELL JENNIFER that she did in fact NOT want to be a mother. Who cares? She is one and wants her child when she (and I) realize that RANDY KNOWS SOMETHING. Jennifer takes the detective's car and proclaims to follow Randy! *fast music* we see Jennifer drive up to a house and she then grabs a gun! A gun? GO JEN! End Randy! I mean.. GO GET ZOE! Jennifer is driving fast while some great tune plays and the gun is shown in the passenger's seat. This is serious! She pulls up to a warehouse, gun in tow! Randy is here and she points the gun at him! "I never meant anything to happen!" WHAT? I knew Randy was involved! before we know it three cops and the detective storm a motel room where Tammy (the girl with red hair) and Zoe were not too long ago! Tammy watches from afar! Randy explains that they sold the baby because people will pay 200 grand for a "white baby girl" he ain't lying! The detective scours the room to find botched adoption papers. These people ordered a baby fitting Zoe's description. Jennifer's mom calls the detective to tell her that JENNIFER IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND AND RANDY DIDNT SHOW UP TO WORK. CLOSE UP ON THE YOUNG FORMER COUPLE RIDING IN A CAR ARGUING ABOUT ZOE'S FUTURE HE DID IT. He wanted the old days back. No babies! No child support... THAT HE WASNT PAYING. No future... That he clearly didn't have to begin with if he was hanging with Tammy. He realizes now that a mother loves her child. Jennifer points the gun and reminds him that he will take her to her child! I am loving Jen at the moment! more commercials!!! Now I know why these short movies are so long! ALL THESE COMMERCIALS! I'm beginning to worry Zoe will actually be sold on the black market

We see the couple willing to sell an innocent child receive a phone call. Z will be sold at the train station at 11:00 pm if Randy doesn't drive fast! They arrive and Jennifer has a plan but Randy is chickening out. These two devise a plan to get Zoe out! COPS ARE ON THE WAY. Jennifer sees randy appeoach the couple's motel room. He tells them he wants to see Zoe one more time. Z seems to calm down while being held by her father. Randy and those two exchange a few words. He is not down! Where is Jen to save the day? Did he tell someone? YES HE TOLD THE MOTHER! Zoe is crying while these three idiots fight it out. Tammy tried to calm her man down. They just need the cash! Jennifer storms in and gets her baby! Gun in the air. She will end them. Don't push her. Turns out... J doesn't know how to work a gun! Next thing we know Jennifer is strapped to a chair and duct taped! Never fear! Detective Maybe it's Maybelline will save the day! More commercials... Nothing new! How great is Oprah looking these days? Why is she in the woods talking to skinny people again? Those damn kids have got baby Zoe again. Jennifer manages to wiggle out of the restraints and get back to getting her baby! We see this oddly dressed couple give each other a decent Pep talk. Leave the baby, take the cash. These two clearly aren't working for Don Corleone! Jennifer tackles Tammy to the ground and grabs Zoe. Randy somehow gets shot as Jennifer for away. She is running down the street baby Z in tow. This actor needs to tone the fake crying down. Major Jurassic Park sounds coming from Randy! Jennifer is somehow running through unused train cars. She is being chased by the guy Tammy was with. I really hope Zoe keeps quiet enough for those two to get away. Not one peel for Zoe. This dude is going on a tirade! He wants that baby! Jennifer reaches for Zoe but actually grabs a PIPE TO HIT THE DUDE WITH. Miuahaha. He hits the ground like a sack of potatoes. Zoe is back with her mom! All is well. I really don't remember the ending because I was knee deep in muscle relaxers. I apologize but what a ride it has been!
