Worst Portayal of a Black Family

Can'y believe that these great actors agreed to do this extremely poorly written D class film. The characters were poorly written and no where close to what a black family is like. The character of the father was the worse of all. The most uneducated people know you contact the FBI when your child has disappeared through trafficking. The mother calls the traffickers directly and walks away from everything the police told her. Are you serious? The farther's job is more important than his child and he is disintrested. Everyone know that does not exist in a black family. A black father would get a gun and give his life for his child. This is the most idiotic film I have ever seen. This film was born out of pure stupidity and ignorance and then these actors supported it by doing it and have the producers portray balck peolple as dumb and stupid. So disappointed by these actors. But all they see is the money. Such an insult to black folks and an embrassment. Shame on everyone of you.

Harrowing Drama

There was a thoughtful approach to the development of the family in "Buying Back My Daughter." A part of each of them was broken with the abduction of the daughter Alicia. The filmmakers approached the healing process in a sensitive way.It was only troubling that police were so ineffective and so slow in investigating what became apparent as a clear case of kidnapping and human trafficking.Even when the mother had discovered the website with pictures of Alicia, the police were slow to respond. Instantly, the site should have been traced. But the parents were justifiably incredulous when they were told it would take weeks or months!The performances were earnest, and the drama as a whole was very moving. In the closing credits, there was a notice about the prevalence of the websites. When uncovered, they must be investigated immediately!

Stupid Characters

Please don't waste your time watching this ridiculous film. Every single character in this film made nonsensical decisions from the daughter to the parents to the trafficker. I am not an expert on this subject matter but even I know that no one would do the silly things that these people are doing. One of the biggest irritants of all were the parents. I felt I was more upset and anxious than they were, especially the father. I don't even know why his character needed to be there. His character was so poorly written and made him so passive and useless. The mother was just stupid. I'm amazed that Megan Good signed up for this BS. The greatest actor in the world couldn't help this script.
