Tonight at 9pm, Lifetime will premiere a new original movie, AMERICA, starring Rosie O’Donnell and newcomer Philip Johnson.
America tells the story of a seventeen-year old boy’s journey through the foster care system.
America was pretty good. It’s not a very original story and it does have some cliche, but if you don’t mind them I think you will enjoy it.
Philip Johnson does a pretty good job overall as America, and I enjoyed watching his portrayal. Although I do have to admit that some of the other actors could have been better. It was hard to get into some scenes because I just didn’t believe them.
Overall, it is a touching story that I think some of you might enjoy. Although I have to warn you that it’s obviously not a cheerful movie.
Don’t forget that America premieres tonight on Lifetime at 9pm.
Watch a preview for America below.
