Quotes
Anna Morgan: So, I have decided that I'm going to the dance.
Sheila: Huh?
Beth Morgan: Really? When did you decide this?
Anna Morgan: During the last 15 minutes of math class. I was there done with my test and everyone else was still grinding it out, and I realized that I need more of a life. I mean, if I'm so understanding about why no boy is interested in me, I shouldn't not go to the dance because no boy is interested in me.
Beth Morgan: You... You lost me at, "If I'm so understanding".
Anna Morgan: It's all right. I'm not entirely clear on it myself. Let's just say that I decided to go. So I'm going.
Beth Morgan: Wow. You're so decisive. You should be a judge or something.
Anna Morgan: Or a dictator. An empress-conqueror in a wheelchair.
Beth Morgan: Anna the Hun.
Anna Morgan: Anna the Nun.
Beth Morgan: Anna the Hun-Nun.
Sheila: Wow. Anna, you have the best attitude for a girl whose life is just so terrible.
[girls laugh]
Sheila: Did I say something funny? I don't normally say something funny.

An average calm TV movie.

Average story, average script, average acting... but that don't deny this film's inspirational value. The filmmakers did well to keep the story real by refraining from showing miracles. The paraplegic protagonist and narrator of the film Anna is played well enough by Lindsey Felton, though her figure is not, let's say suitable, for a gymnast. The other actors, especially the kid who played Anna's porn-addicted brother, also did satisfactory jobs.

In order to keep itself real, the story got also boring in the middle and viewers might lose interest for that. I was able to sit through it and I don't really regret it. These films are often good for a change.
