Mother Knows Best

  • Made: 1997
  • Genre: Suspense Thriller
  • Stars: Joanna Kerns, Grant Show, Christine Elise
Socialite Celeste Cooper takes the definition of overbearing mother to a whole new level. It's not enough to dictate when her daughter Laurel gets married; she wants final approval of the groom, too! Turns out Celeste isn't keen on Laurel's choice, and she'll resort to some deadly tactics to bust the couple up. It's a jaw-dropping true story you have to see - especially since sexy Grant Show looks better than ever in it!

not sure if the person looking for the movie title is still looking but just in case you still are the movie about the cheerleaders being sexually assaulted by the football players is called "moment of truth: stand against fear"
