Not My Kid Summary
Director: Michael Tuchner
Genres: Drama
Rating:
The endurance of an upper-middle-class family is put to the test in this well-made television drama about drug abuse. Based on the book of the same name by Beth Polson, Viveka_Davis (Shoot_The_Moon) stars as Susan Bowers, the teenage daughter of a successful surgeon (George_Segal) and homemaker (Stockard_Channing). When innocent-looking Susan's secret life as a druggie comes to light, her parents try anything and everything to get her clean. Unable to make any headway, they turn to a strict drug-treatment center, where streetwise counselors deal with tough kids on their own terms. The Bowers soon learn that their daughter's rehabilitation will not only be a long haul but also an exercise in family dynamic exploration. Young Davis is compelling as the rebellious daughter, and Channing and Segal are wholly believable as the bewildered parents. Bernadette McCallion, Rovi
