www.moviemansguide.com - : TV movies are a tough thing to rate considering you have commercials interrupting any flow the film was building up and the character development is weak due to the limited time frame the writer(s) have to work with (you also have to consider these are third-tier writers as well).

www.moviejustice.com - : If you’re a major film buff one of the most heinous and sickening phrases you could possibly hear in the English language is “made for TV movie.” This almost dooms a film straight to the graveyard. Almost 99 percent of the time they are, to put it plainly, pieces of crap that serve no other purpose than to cater to the “is there anything good on TV” audience. People who generally don’t watch films seriously and just don’t find them their cup of tea, but if they have a couple of hours to kill will watch one. Well that or audiences that only are exposed to family friendly films that they can watch during an evening with their children. There is nothing wrong with that. I don’t like made for TV movies nor do I take them seriously, but hey if some people enjoy them that’s great. So when I flip through the channels and find one on that looks like it may actually be good, I’ll watch it. 44 Minutes was one of those movies, and is one of the better made for TV movies that you will find on television. more...
