The original true story about the house seemed very intriguing but they managed to really mess up this production! Very little makes sense from the very beginning when they are in way over their heads with finding the money to purchase this house. The whole story line with her being a potter and going to RISDY is ridiculous. I have never known one artist so interested in joining a country club or living in a house like that!!! The acting is bad with the exception of Mia Farrow who always Delivers a good performance .
