At first I thought this was a good movie and very much something like this could happen for real. Then the end of the movie showed me something completely wrong. I just don't see good people turning their back on a kid at the end ...regardless if he's her son or not HE NEEDS HELP. She could have made that happen for him even if it was not for him to stay with her of course but to just dump him back out to society. To just let him go and to continue to be unwanted...also when that very well could of been her son ...she's a terrible mother and person. I thought also her job was to help kids. I truly disliked the ending and wish I never saw it.

So I was watchin the movie. Story of a child abducted, young man claiming to be teen returns home years later, mother is estatic, young man turns villianous and tries to kill people. I KNEW I had seen this movie before in the early 90s when I was a kid. It's The Stranger Within lol, look it up lol, has that guy from Silver Spoons, Ricky Shroder, playing the young man, that movie was better than this one with a better explaination of who he was and a better ending. This wasnt a bad movie, it's just basically the same as The Stranger Within but not as good if an ending, watch The Stranger Within.

Okay the ending still left me with unanswered questions. Is he the real son or not. I know either way mom was gonna let him go but still viewers needed to know. Was he THEIR LOST BOY or was he just A BOY BOY who was traumatized and wanted his family to himself. I never quite understood why he hated Jonathon maybe because he was the other son but we're still here left with unanswered questions. Why they didn't get him any therapy. Is what Mitchell said about his childhood true.? It was okay but I mean I'm still left wondering .

I found this movie surprisingly good, as not having much expectations. Even the story was a bit cliche and plot holes, it had suspense on and wanted to know what happened in the end. I just didn't understand how the mother just accepted the stranger as her son right away, didn't offer him any therapy at all (as he clearly would have needed it!!) and trusted him almost instantly, like the rest of his family. Even his sister didn't find his new "brother" at all suspicious the way he acted?? And i found it weird they just let the boy just go friends parties and all just after he was found, as if he didn't need any help process the fact he was kidnapped, abused and having serious issues. Anyhow, despite the plot holes in the story, it was surprisingly entertaining indie movie, with strong actors making it worth the watch.

And not a bad storyline. 6 is high on my Lifetime Movies For Chicks scale. But lots of needless vaguery around the background of the boy becoming lost. And hard to get the characters straight for awhile.

Little Mitchell Harris was abducted as a child when his parents were not paying attention at the lake for forty seconds. Years later, an adolescent boy returns to claim that he is Mitchell arriving home. To the viewer, it is obvious that the kid is an imposter. But to the loving parents who desperately want to believe that he is their son, they are unable to lucidly embrace the truth when it is in front of their faces. There is a revealing moment when the mother, Laura, watches the imposter munching and says, "You still like those crackers." To the mom, this was projection rather than a rational appraisal of the son. The imposter was a brilliant actor, who could turn on the charm and, above all, the emotion to cleverly manipulate the mom and dad. In the first quarter of the film, it was easy to feel the anguish of Laura and Greg Harris, whose lives were irrevocably changed by the loss of their little boy. But for the final three-quarters of the film, their unwillingness to confront the erratic behavior of the false Mitchell had life-damaging consequences for the other family members. When the imposter arrived, there was a plan to get the boy into therapy and to conduct a DNA test. After the imposter switched his cotton swab sample with that of little Jonathan, he bought himself some time. But once Laura learned that the kid had manipulated the DNA results, she failed to follow through with a thorough investigation into the kid's identity. An obvious choice would have been to examine dental records, but that never happened. It was frustrating to watch the Harris family implode due to the imposter. It should have been clear to the parents that the boy was a phony, and he should have been sitting in a juvenile detention center by the midpoint of the film.

The beginning of the film shows promise with a woman counseling parents whose children are missing despite the fact that her own son has been gone for ten years. The story is dysfunctional in the fact that she has divorced her husband and she gets along beautifully with the woman he is about to marry who is carrying his child. The children live with the father and that is never explained. The movie begins to take a nosedive with the sudden arrival of the missing son. The mother doesn't want to question him regarding where he has been all these years. When you think that the boy is playing a fast one and is not really their son, we then see his rather bizarre and increasingly violent behavior and we are left to wonder what is going on here. Interesting plot but there are unanswered questions and material hard to fathom.
