Like Mother Like Daughter - review

When college student Emily fails to register for a fourth class before the deadline, she turns to her mother, the head of the local museum and a member of the college board to help her out. 

Sharing Emily’s issue with her close friend, college professor John Collins, John offers Emily a place on his Anthropology course and as soon as the two of them meet, they hit it off.

Within weeks Emily & John are secretly dating each other, but when Emily spills wine on some of his work, John sees red and Emily swiftly disappears. When Emily fails to show up to a breakfast meeting with her mum the next day, Dawna begins to worry and when she hasn’t heard from her within 24 hours she files a missing person’s report with John by her side for support.

As knowledge breaks that Emily had broken up with her boyfriend Keith, Dawna wonders whether she was seeing someone else, but with her relationship with John a secret, no one has any information to offer her. But as soon as the police reveal they can trace Emily’s phone to her exact location, John is on edge and makes his excuses to leave the station before Emily is found.

With Emily found, John knows it’s only a matter of time before he’s caught, but if he can cover his tracks by framing Keith, he can get away with it, can’t he?

A good afternoon TV movie.
