Unforgivable is about a young girl who witnesses her father, Paul (John Ritter), beating her mother. Paul escapes to the home of his mistress (Beth) where she too suffers physical abuse at his hands. Beth threatens Paul by telling him that if he doesn't get himself help and join a group for abusive men, she will file attempted murder charges against him. Now, I am a MASSIVE John Ritter fan, I think he was one of the finest actors of our time, and I could tell how in to the movie I was, I actually hated him in it. He portrayed Paul to be this raging lunatic, and was incredibly believable in the part (as were all the other members of the cast)
This story was a really effective movie; it shows you just how much damage one person can do to an entire family. Like someone has said in a previous review, this was a true story, and it was amazingly brave and honest of the real Paul Hegstrom to admit to the world what he had put his family through many years ago, his family should be very proud of how far he has come.
It's so sad to believe there are many people living lives just like Paul and Judy, and this mustn't be ignored whilst watching the movie.
It has to be one of, it not the best TV movies I have ever seen and I highly recommend it!
