P L O T

Two sisters, Amanda, 11, and Laurel, 16, run away from
their different adopted parents, sleeping in model
homes, or wherever they can. But when Laurel becomes
pregnant, they find they can't make it through this
crisis on their own. With nowhere else to turn, they
decide to kidnap Elaine, a clerk in a baby supply
store. But Elaine seems to need Manny and Lo just as
much as they need her.

"Print defects are largely absent, but one or two
whoppers jarringly intrude."

There are periods of jerkyness, see 8:48 - 8:53 in the
movie and 0:19 - 0:21 in the sample. This was apparent on
the dvd, and not an indication of bad ivtc.

"The Dolby Surround track meets expectations, but the
dialogue-heavy film gives it little chance to shine... Few
ambient effects are employed, so directionality is sketchy
at best."

"sketchy directionality" is due to the track actually
being MONO and not STEREO. It was verified by wav analysis.
