Playing for Keeps

It's supposed to be based on a true story but it comes across as unrealistic. The woman seeking custody of her son is confronted in court by her OWN lawyer! That just didn't seem fair of him to react like this towards his client. Also the way the lawyer comes across is rather eccentric and scruffy. It doesn't seem reasonable to make a comic relief character in a serious lifetime drama. Now the rest is predictable. I find the wife of the man who has this affair with the main protagonist isn't realistic either. Why would a spurned wife get involved and want the child that her cheating husband had with a random trollop he met in a bar. I actually feel very sorry for the kid, because he was pulled between two parents and ended up suffering an ear injury from flying too much. All because his parents couldn't behave themselves. I don't sympathise with the little boy's mother, who is irresponsible and even can't help herself from going out meeting stray men. It was a silly film and didn't handle the issue properly.
