Seeds of Yesterday 2015

     This film is based on a book series by V.C. Andrews and this is the 4^th in a set of 5 novels.  The novels tell the saga of the Foxworth-Dollanganger-Sheffield-Winslow family.  Bart Foxworth is the middle child of the Sheffield family and he inherits the Foxworth mansion.  He has legally changed his name from Sheffield to Foxworth.  He rebuilds the manor and he plans to celebrate his 25 year birthday in the mansion.  He invites his parents Cathy and Christopher Sheffield plus his brother Jory and his wife Melodie Marquet.  An adopted teenage sister Cindy is also included.  Bart underwent psychiatric treatment in his teens because of his encounters with his deceased grandmother Corrine Foxworth.  Christopher Sheffield has been managing the estate until Bart reached his 25 year birthday.

     There are a LOT of tension among the family.  Bart’s parents are wondering if Bart is suffering relapse of his mental issues.  Jory and Melodie are expecting twin babies and Bart constantly belittles Cindy.  Bart seems to push his family and everyone else away with his caustic behavior.  This film is cheesy and it’s the expensive beautiful cheese!!  Everything is crazy, overdone, it's unbelievable and an attempt to get you to think any of this could be true!!   Is there anyone in this film that is not of model quality?  Do any of the characters have any issues with weight or looks ever entering their minds?  Everything seems unreal including their mental states!!  Maybe too much money makes you crazy??  2 ½* (This movie is just so-so)
