Now I mentioned that occasionally "What Makes a Family" is a bit cheesy and often this comes down to some slightly poor acting but for the most it is good. Brooke Shields and Cherry Jones work so well together as Janine and Sandy delivering a believable relationship and when during the latter part of the movie it focuses on Janine's battle for custody Brooke Shields delivers the emotional drain quite brilliantly.
