Baby Boys End Up With Wrong Mothers . . . .

(First off, some current information on this IMDB page is wrong. This is not a documentary and it wasn't made by a British company. I sent in a correction for the genre, but not for the company. It clearly shows Vanguard Productions in the photo, though. There is no cast listing, either. The whole page needs to be corrected.)This is a story about two mothers who give birth on the same day to two boys. The baby boys get switched by accident at the hospital, and it's about a year and a half before the mistake is discovered. Should they switch the boys back? Neither mother wants to do so, but things get complicated.The biggest complication is the father of the unmarried mother suddenly wants to get back together with her and be a father. It turns out he only wants to do so because he expects a big settlement from the hospital for the mistake. That is obvious to everyone but his girlfriend.The married mother and her husband want to keep their wrong baby, but also want to be involved in the life of their biological son. They make the unmarried mother a life changing offer and she takes it wrong. Her cad boyfriend sues for custody of both boys.The movie is a typical woman's drama that pulls on the heartstrings of mothers of babies. Not the usual type of movie I like, but it was interesting enough. Of course, the viewer wants to know how this very complicated issue gets resolved, too, so it's not the type of movie to quit before the end.P. S. If you want to see a good Japanese movie about switched babies, watch the 2013 film "Like Father, Like Son".

could not keep watching it, too boring

Scenes are dragged out, depictions manicured and unrealistic: the women who just gave birth look (and are dressed as, and walk as if) like they just came out form a hairdresser and makeup artist and are at least two months past-birth, if they have ever given birth at all. Whoever directed this has never been to a maternity hospital.Gets worse and even more boring after that, and horrible hounting music throughout.

Mistaken Director

As the other reviewer has mentioned - this movie has wrong information on here; the director is not Nikki Stockley. There is no mention as Nikki Stockley being director, nor is she anywhere else in the cast or crew!I did an edit some weeks ago to inform of this but it is still not changed; no one wants to change it! What's going on there? Even the edit process is very hard to do; no space for change of director.Here are the proper credits: Director: Douglas Barr Cast: Melissa Gilbert Rosanna Arquette James McCaffrey David Andrews Mary Mara Susan Barnes Ron Snyder Joe Ivy Bruce Burkhartsmeier Robert Blanche Sharonlee McLean Raissa Fleming Lester B. Hanson Peter Lohnes Rob Stockton Kelly Wilson Marilyn Faith Hickey Sam Mowry Sharon Mitchell Ted Roisum Betty Moyer Carol Jones Karen Johnson-Miller Kaz Garas Eric Newsome Shannon Day Laura Duyn Sarah Bixel.
