Poor Vincent. I mean sam didnt know what was going on he had thankfully as a kidnapped child a good life so far. Vincent had to live with the guilt he felt & the broken sad family .
And, in reality, a lot of families/marriages wouldn't have survived that. Couples break up all the time when a baby or child dies even when it's neither parent's fault.
wanna know something crazy. i use to do cc work at the community center. parents would drop their kids off at the play structres and LEAVE. assuming the other parents wpuld watch out for them. wtf!
I remember watching this movie with my mom back in 1999 when it first premiered. And I remember my mom saying something along the lines of what you just said. She said if she were in that situation she would have just let the boy alone and let him keep living with the family he has come to know as his family. Instead of trying to reintegrate him into the family he was supposed to grow up with. But yeah this movie would have had a whole different feeling if Ben (or Sam) was being abused by his kidnapped family.
Angela Smith that’s so neat I accidentally in a good way went to the movie my friend at the time wanted me to watch with her at the movie Austin powers I said no so I went to a different movie in the theater so that’s how I came across this movie I am si glad I did it’s one of my favorites and never looked back.
i get where both parties are coming from but i still feel sorry for George. He's alone in his house now..although of course he can still visit. still, i feel bad for him.
Rachael Jacobs I saw the movie first and liked it a lot, and though I typically like books better than their movies (no matter what order I encounter them), I was not impressed by the book at all.
As per Wikipedia: At the end of the novel, many conflicts remain unresolved. Pat still has problems loving his sons: Ben because he can not relate to his personality and Vincent because he does not connect his teenage rebellion and cynicism to nine years of bad parenting. Beth has regained her position in the family as an equal parent, but Ben and Vincent's emotional scars may require years of intense therapy.
Hello ggmarie1234, thank you so much for posting this movie clips. I'm so thankful that I found a movie which had caused me to love English. Anyway, Ben's character is my favorite one. At that moment, I was 7 when I watched it, I even fell in love with him. That's funny but over all, it is a movie which has been a starting point and memorial thing in my life. God bless you. :D
Ive watched this movie once along time back ,i wanna watch it again but unluckily forget the name of the movie, i was busy searching for it then finally i found it again
I know what you mean. It would be more sad for obvious reasons but also less sad in a way because Ben/Sam reuniting with his biological family would have been much happier. The fact that he was raised by such a loving father meant that Sam wasn't even that happy to go back to them. Even this ending made me sad because I felt so bad for George (though I assume he'll continue to have a relationship with Sam).
@@gerdtt79 any sane person would never steal a baby, and even then you'd return them when you saw their grieving parents on TV. Also, sane people who can't have children biologically will know that their is a thing called ADOPTION, and tons of children need loving/stable homes.
@@ryerye6587 it's not dumb. I mean Sam desperately wanted to go back to George the whole time. And then he just suddenly completely changed his attitude? I don't know it just seems to me like the film could have just let him continue to love the home he loved.
@@gerdtt79 lol...people sometimes make hard, shocking decisions in real life in even less time than a whole movie. Anyways the movie has the better ending. He should go back to his family. Otherwise, it was just a waste watching the movie.
So this is how it plays out Vincent as a kid told Ben when he was younger to get lost but not the complete story Cecilia snatched him kidnapped him and George adopted Ben and changed it to Sam but amazing Ben/Sam has a forgiving heart and it’s no big deal there love as brothers is stronger then that and the whole family is back together Sam missed his family and wanted to come back home which is so beautiful am sure he told George that they are his real family and he wants to stay with his real mom and dad great movie.
@@destinysdollars1108 exactly George am sure in time understands now the whole story now from Sam he must have told him that they are my real parents and I belong with them am glad Sam realized this is my long lost family.
@@Stefan-ji2ek Ben was a child he at that reunion in the beginning he did wonder off but if you heard towards the middle of the movie candy bliss a detective told Beth he was snatched sometime during the reunion by Celcla Lockhart who appeared at the reunion alone overtime she adapted Ben and was with a man named George over time dont know what happened candy said celcla took her own life and George kept Ben who now goes by Sam then Beth one time saw her daughter Kerri talk to her long lost son Kerry and Sam go to the same school they moved to Chicago and Ben lives 2 blocks from there house so also pay attention to the ending Vincent told Ben when he was very little to get lost with kids take that is ok and sometime again celcla took him and he wasn’t seen for I think 8 years which was pretty long they did everything they could to try to find him but it was a miracle he came to there front door so Kari probably knew this is her long lost brother.

Me from TikTok 👍

I completely loved this movie! I cried at the end when Vincent admitted his guilt(in so many words). What a burden to bear!
Omg hello!! This is the oldest comment I am replying to!! How are you??❤

I feel bad for him carrying this guilt all these years.
Jonathan Jackson is such a good actor.
She should of never expected a 7 year to just watch him like that in a crowded place.
It's beyond me why she even brought her children to the reunion in the first place lol
@@Stefan-ji2ek writers
don't be ridiculous, many parents would leave kids momentarily unattended at times. You can't watch them 24/7
wanna know something crazy. i use to do cc work at the community center. parents would drop their kids off at the play structres and LEAVE. assuming the other parents wpuld watch out for them. wtf!
This scene illustrates how weird the sibling bond actually is
This would have been a very different story if Ben/Sam had been mistreated after being kidnapped rather than spending those years in a loving family.
I remember watching this movie with my mom back in 1999 when it first premiered. And I remember my mom saying something along the lines of what you just said.

@@baggergurl16 well that's what she did. but then ben remembered that it was ALL TRUE. he was their son.
One of the most underrated films of the 90s
Although I like the premise of the story a lot more than the execution.
@@gerdtt79 true, also they should've used the original ending from the book
Needs a Blu ray disc release
@@Stefan-ji2ek Is it sadder
@@Stefan-ji2ek What was the original ending?
I first saw this movie with a friend of mine in theater in 1999. I love this movie and the way it end. Thanks for uploading this clip.

I born in 1998🥺🥺🥺...too late
Just watched on Netflix. Great movie❤
I can watch literally anything that has Michelle Pfeiffer in it.
Fr same
i love this movie
i get where both parties are coming from but i still feel sorry for George. He's alone in his house now..although of course he can still visit. still, i feel bad for him.
It took a lot of courage for everything in his heart to let him be with his family. Regardless of what he did, he did, what was right.
Great movie. Great brothers.

Este video tiene 16 años, increíble! Yo vi esta pelicula en el cine cuando salio, muy impactante y ahora se hace viral gracias a Netflix. 😮
Jonathan and Ryan merriman in a Same moive
Great movie with lots of depth. I read the book first and wasn't disappointed at all with the movie version.
Rachael Jacobs I saw the movie first and liked it a lot, and though I typically like books better than their movies (no matter what order I encounter them), I was not impressed by the book at all.
The only real difference was the ending, which from what I understand was much more depressing than in the movie.
@@Stefan-ji2ek how is it?

Apparently it was the original ending for the movie, and Pfiffer’s preferred ending, but test audiences found it too depressing.
good movie!!

Ive watched this movie once along time back ,i wanna watch it again but unluckily forget the name of the movie, i was busy searching for it then finally i found it again
Ryan was so kute in this!!!
it is my favorite scene...its so happy that i even cried when i watched it, even more touched then when Ben was found@_@

George was either an idiot or in denial about his wife's issues. To claim that she was fine when she committed suicide was ridiculous.
@@Stefan-ji2ek Maybe he just meant as in she didn't have bad intentions.
Be that as it may I still feel sorry for him.
@@gerdtt79 any sane person would never steal a baby, and even then you'd return them when you saw their grieving parents on TV. Also, sane people who can't have children biologically will know that their is a thing called ADOPTION, and tons of children need loving/stable homes.
@@Stefan-ji2ek I imagine George didn't know he was stolen. Probably thought he was his wife's.
2021...who is here
So that was the quality back in the days haha
I kinda would have preferred if the movie ended with Sam going back to live with George and becoming friends with his biological family.
That is just dumb. Lol. Keep your day job
@@ryerye6587 it's not dumb. I mean Sam desperately wanted to go back to George the whole time. And then he just suddenly completely changed his attitude? I don't know it just seems to me like the film could have just let him continue to love the home he loved.

@@gerdtt79 lol you are so dumb and ignorant. There is really no use explaining to you.

Acabando de descobrir isso, JhonatanJackson é o Vicent desse filme , nas profundezas do mar profundo, ual , vendo agora 2019*Dezembro ❤❤❤
the only reason i like this movie is because of jonathan (vincent)!!
jonathan jackson would have been the perfect edward cullen!!!!!!!!!!!!
And a way better Anakin Skywalker!
esse filme é lindo
ikr
it just came on on abc family
Me as a kid- Sam/Ben is the main character.
Me as an Adult- Vincent is the main character.
i always thought shawn pyform aka andrew van de kamp from desperate housewives would have been great as the older deliquent brother in this movie
2023❤
can you post the whole movie
Puedes subirla en español ??
Hey guys now is year 2022

So this is how it plays out Vincent as a kid told Ben when he was younger to get lost but not the complete story Cecilia snatched him kidnapped him and George adopted Ben and changed it to Sam but amazing Ben/Sam has a forgiving heart and it’s no big deal there love as brothers is stronger then that and the whole family is back together Sam missed his family and wanted to come back home which is so beautiful am sure he told George that they are his real family and he wants to stay with his real mom and dad great movie.
He walked away from him, hence why he was taken in the first place.
Sam even said that george helped him pack and knew that he left in the middle of the night.

this film was sooooooooooooo sad
AM STILL LOOKING FOR THE COMPLETE MOVIE...I WATCHED IT IN A FRIEND'S HOUSE IN 2001
Sup, just wanted to notify you for some weird reason. Hope you remember something you forgot.
It's on Netflix. Just watched it today.
saddest movie ever,its exactly like madeline mac canns
this is not box office in its released and why? its good.
porfavor
the movie tells that ben rembers what happend
What's the ending in the book?
@monny287 The only difference is the implication that the boys are still very scarred and will likely never fully recover from what they went through.

You are pushing Jesus Christ. We are not all Christians . He has nothing to do with this movie, much as I highly respect him.
