What a comical piece of bloated, campy, fictitious garbage that was. From the very first moment of the 2 man unit (a Sgt. Driving in a 2 man car than never existed at BPD) showing up to the disturbance call. The unintentional comical lines. The full party at the PD, then Drew locking #3 in a cell, you just knew this would be pathetic use of 120 minutes. And boy I wasn't let down. Anyone that thinks this resembles anything close to real life or a factual account, well you better check yourself for a lobotomy scar.

John Law's posted comment makes me think he must be related to Drew or is a cop that knows/knew Drew....intelligent people know that why details may vary, the dynamics of violent relationships remain the same....I certainly do not need a movie to realize that this man is an abuser in the most dangerous way; too bad the cowardly brother won't tell what he and his brother did with the blue container. what a bunch of loser cowards. but time has taught me that their horrible deeds will catch up to them eventually.

I couldn't wait until the movie was over; I kept looking at my clock to see how much longer it was until the end. I am curious to know how much of the movie was based on fact, i.e., the party in the PD, Drew finding Stacy having lunch w/a male friend at an OUTSIDE cafe, how much the children actually witnessed, etc.

It was down right creepy. Who cares how the actors were, they were telling a disturbing story. Rob Lowe was funny as Peterson, but tried a bit too hard on the Chicago accent. It saddens me to see what actually could have happened. I am sure the creep is guilty with a capital "G"!!!

Rob Lowe did an amazing job especially since he had to keep his eyes squinted the whole time. It definately gave us an insight as to how "full of himself" he really is. But, I do agree that it would have been more informative if we had known if the children knew more, however, they may have not said anything as of yet either. They are still really young and it is their father. Love that the neighbor got so involved. I think we all should be aware of whats going on around us to help, if God forbid we are ever put in this situation.

I agree wiith john. I grew up in bolingbrook and the portrayal was aweful. .i wasn't impressed at all but it does have a string altough tiny of truth. The main point was to reiterate what the public already knows about the case. It did however make bpd look like fools which they most definatly are not. The cops aren't fools they just cldnt believe one of their own could be so evil...

I think it was pretty good! It would have been nice if they stayed more true to Joe's book. A lot of what he wrote was more interesting than some of things embellished in the movie. I did wonder why Petersons scumbag lawyer wasn't in the storyline? BUT overall It was very entertaining, the Book was just better!

I learned absolutely nothing new that hasn't already been reported in the news. I do think Rob Lowe did an amazing job of transforming himself in the "Drew Peterson" who we all saw with our own eyes on the media circus stunts he did. Fact is, no matter how the movie is spun (and it is based on true life - not true life) Drew Peterson will be judged - by a jury of his peers but even more importantly, on his very own Judgement day.

Two words! It sucked!

Palm trees and California style homes,and what's with Drew getting out of the passenger side of a Police squad! Bolingbrook doesn't and never had two man marked squad cars! What a fairy tale of a movie!

Plus the movie shows Drew working on the engine of a plane that looks like a Cessna ! I believe the only plane he ever owned was a ultra light! Plus the interior scenes of the houses are definitely not Bolingbrook style homes whats so ever!

The acting was fair. Every thing in it stuck somewhat to what has alresdy been reported.I just hope it does not taint his trial.My last comment. I still think the same as before I saw the Movie. Make the robe strong and the tree tall. He is a digrace to Police Officers and Human beings.

I was just thinking! The way judges have been handing down sentences for murders as of late! 15,20 and 30 years for very violent murders that were on the news, Drew should maybe make a deal and have his lawyers ask for 20 years!

Well, thus so far, I have read all your comments so far on this page and I believe that almost all of you just didn't get the movie that was made for lifetime. The movie was not suppose to get into that much detail, it was showing what an arragant manipulative dirty man he was towards young woman. It also wanted to give the neighbors insight as much as possible. We need to look at the real storyline here, maybe things were a little off quilter, but let's not forget the truth. We all know in our hearts that Peterson is guilty, and he will have to face judgement day. And let's keep praying that one day that Stacey's body is recovered for closure for all her family and friends and especially her children!

I think Hollywood made it a little too glamorous. I'm kind of surprised that the Village of Bolingbrook allowed the production company to use "Bolingbrook Police" emblazoned squad cars. Even if they were movie props, they looked almost identical to the current scheme. I also think it ended abruptly, with Drew's arrest, and then a few comments before the closing credits. The kids had to have seen a lot more than the movie depicted, too.

I thought the movie and acting were okay at best, but the movie did show the true side of Peterson: an arrogant abuser that likes to chase little girls around in the hopes that he can have his complete control over them. Once they see the light, and no longer give in to him, they just seem to "disappear" so that he can move on to another. I've never seen any type of remorse on his part. If he was a former "detective", why wouldn't he help in finding Stacy? In my eyes, he's as guilty as sin! If he doesn't rot in jail, he'll eventually burn in hell.

Gary I agree! But can he be found guilty fairly beyond a reasonable doubt! Who's autopsy can any say is right or wrong! Each examiner is going to have their own opinion and perspective on cause of death! The story line of the movie is a majority of hearsay and facts can be misinterpreted or what did actually occur ! Anyone can say he did this and that, but how will anyone ever know how true it can be!

I read these posts on here and wonder which one is actually written by Peterson under a phony name? Judge for yourself!

I think the movie people accomplished what they wanted to. They took a nationally known buffoon, who is currently sitting in jail awaiting trial for the murder of his third wife, and showcased the nonsense he and his lawyer conjured up for their own good, no one else's. The two of them used each other for their fame whore moments, and I hope it all backfires.

Read the book. It's the real story. Joe wrote about the events as they unfolded. He could not and did not make the twin clowns say and do what they did, which helped turn the movie into what it was. I am appalled that so many naysayers waste their time dissing everyone around the murder defendant, rather than hold his feet to the fire for the circumstances surrounding the death of the mothers of four of his children. In that case, if he does ever get out, may he move next door to YOU. Just get your young daughters out of dodge first.

I have no comment....I didn't watch it

Gary if you haven't heard, Drew does not have access to the Internet or a computer !!!

I didn't even know the movie was being aired yet! I guess there was a reason for it to be underpublicized.

Good luck finding a jury pool. This movie might be Drew's road to acquittal!

Gary you sound like a logical person! At this point if there were a trial ,do you think Drew can be found guilty fairly beyond a reasonable doubt?

IMO it was hindered by legal issues and the movie suffered because it is too premature to show any actual involvement in two murders. Let's face it, the only reason we know the man's face and voice is because it's likely he killed two of his wives. Instead, the movie had to depict what we were already sick of seeing: Drew's tasteless and cruel public antics. The private conversations between he and his wives were speculative since they could only have been guessed at. The writing was what I'd expect from a Lifetime movie (not very good) so it was weird to hear the occasional direct quote from Peterson amid the platitudes of "I''m going to check on that chicken". etc. For me the movie was flawed because it couldn't veer too far in either direction. We couldn't see Peterson hitting Kathleen Savio in the head and then struggling to hold her under the water, or throttling Stacy Peterson in their bedroom. But neither did we see the helpful neighbor that no one will deny Drew was because they wanted to make sure that we understood what a jerk he is. So we got this weird caricature with way too much attention paid to getting the hair and accent right. However, I am hopeful that the movie did some good in raising awareness about the kind of abuse that can be dealt by a sociopath narcissist. I don't think it will have an impact on Peterson's trial. He and his PR people have saturated the media too much with their own 'fairy tales' to have any grounds for complaining about the movie.

The movie.......average at best.

The movie told a story based on years of what was going on, in less than 2 hours. Drew Peterson is a scumbag, a manipulator and sociopath. What was really interesting was that previews for the movie "Courageous" on DVD was shown 3 times during the Peterson commercials - A must-see movie for every family out there. If more families took the lead in the raising of their children, girls wouldn't go out looking for father-figures to "hook" up with. Drew said in the movie he looked for girls who didn't have a relationship with their fathers and didn't have much to do with their families. Girls need to know what to look for in a husband, not just because someone sweet-talks them and buys them things. Once they are married to the sob, you can't get rid of them.

What still gets me is the 20 million dollar bond ! If anyone saw the news a few months ago, a women from Carol Stream along with her son drove to Elgin and she ran down a poor kid with her car crashing him to death and her son got out of the car and beat the poor kid as he is pinned by the car! And guess what? She gets out on bond for a very violent and unnecessary murder! Is that fair??

Hey, Selleck. I think Drew's account at the commissary is getting low. Quick, send him a couple bucks so he can buy some Twizzlers! ;)

I feel rob lowes facial mannerisms were dead on but that horrible SNL DaCoach Chicago accent drives me NUTS

I hate it when actors try to do a Chicago accent, it usually is so far off the mark it's funny. Rob Lowe must have studied the movie Tommy Boy and Dan Akroid as Zalinsky.

For all of you people who watched, shame on you. You are just watching something that is being played upon for years. The fact that you even watched, or thought of watching trash, makes you as bad as the people who produced this drek. Glamorizing a murderer (?) can be as fun as watching the Dahmer, Gacy, or Ted Bundy show. I had more entertainment not watching it. Just goes to show you that if you put garbage on the television, you will have people watching garbage!

What I would like to know is if they actually found her body.... I've seen many articles that states that they have reportedly found remains of a female with a lot of similarities to stacy and another missing woman and that was in 2010 and they said it would take two weeks to possibly identify but I still haven't found anything to confirm or deny if it is or isn't. I really wish they would find her remains so she can be put to rest and be brought back home with her family where she belongs they need closure . The movie ways creepy to me how they protrayed Drew if that's how he acted in real life he's sick and a complete psychopath he deserves to be where he is. Stacy I really hope you are found.

I refuse to watch this movie. Why would anyone waste their time watching this? It a crime that they are giving him additional publicity; he is arrogant enough that this is just boosting his ego. This film accomplishes no good in terms of bringing justice to the crimes of at least two women and their families. Why does our society encourage these stupid films and reality shows? If you care, get out and make a difference.

I did not finish watching whole show yet. I do want to give Mr. Hosey credit on the hard work and His part on this story about our friend Drew. Guilty or not that's up to a jury IF they can find one that lives in a BOX. This guy is as well known as Mike Jordan. Whatever happen to Lisa?

Didn't even bother watching it !

Everyone is free to watch what they like on TV with out some holier-than thou judgment from someone else. Either you saw the movie or you didn't. If you didn't watch the movie then you aren't entitled to an opinion about it.

I didn't see it, but find it questionable the movie was even made before the jury (hopefully they will) got the story.

I thought the movie was pretty good! I only laughed hard when they showed Drew and his "crews" in a scene in the bar (which is supposed to be Tailgators) and there was a cloth covered table with candles. I have been there many times and its a good night if there is toilet paper in the bathroom. Other than that, it sure made him look like a complete idiot.

The movie was average at best.. but glad they got the word out on such a tragic story!

I didn't see the movie until this morning, since I had to repair my outside cellar door, which is standard on every Bolingbrook house. I think the Peterson children are extraordinary, because they were able to predict that Derrick Rose would be a star for the Bulls back in 2004, when Rose was a Freshman in high school. I also liked neighbor "Karen" (Sharon) giving the Peterson children popsicles as a treat, even though it was mid-October. Again, one of Drew's kids shows amazing foresight by wearing a Marian Hossa Blackhawks jersey five years before Hossa came to Chicago. No wonder he graduated with Honors from "Bolingbrook Middle School". My favorite was watching the babe from Big Bang Theory and the babe from Mad Men playing wives 3 and 4. Me-wow!

Loved it! I was so tense that I unconsciously ate through two bags of popcorn!

Drews children all being cared for from Drews $77,000.00 pension!

Sorry peteee363 regardless of the out come ,Drew keeps his pension for life, either him collecting it when or if he's acquitted or his pension goes into a bank account for his children until he dies if he is convicted! He can't lose his pension unless he committed a felony while working on duty and was convicted!

Really a very sick situation and extremely sick man. Being a cop, he is quite smart about all the ins and outs of everything. He has outsmarted even his own cop friends. He brain washed his kids and even the public about Stacy being an insecure person. He is a swift talker and convinced many people to side with him. 'Untouchable" is surely a perfect title for the movie. If he weren't so close to his buddy cop friends, I believe that the police would have acted sooner on behalf of Stacy and all the complaints that she had been making about how Drew treated her. And nobody can find that blue container??? Drew is so sick that he could have taken Stacy's body and put it thru a wood chipper somewhere and nobody would even think to look there. I know that sounds sick but I saw a woodchipper alongside the road one day and immediately thought that Drew could have done just that. Gives me the creeps. And... who was watching his kids all the times that he was leaving his house? He forbid Stacy's mom from watching them. If the system doesn't give him the death penalty, God will surely take care of his pretty little butt. So sad that all these family members have to suffer because of one SICK person. Also, his third wife Cathelinewas given a reason for death as being...accidental??? Sure looks like Drew was very convincing to his local police friends that her death was simply accidental. Just goes to show how convincing this sick man can be.

Bolingbrook had nothing to do what so ever in the investigation of Kathy's death! Period!!' State Police handled it all! As far as a death penalty that's a joke ! There's far worse murders out there and they are getting 20,30 years and getting out after serving half!

It was interesting...Of course Staci can not tell us what happened and certainly Drew Peterson isn't going to do that either. I would like to know if the neighbor portrayed in the movie had any input in the dialog ...now that would be truly interesting to hear.

Maybe Tom Selleck can answer that question! He seems to know a lot of information about Drew Peterson.

The funny thing is I never watched the movie but heard it was on I was on facebook and looked up drew peterson just to see if they cancelled his page and right under his is another person with the name drew peterson , and tom sellecks photo . As a default pic . Interesting . Are we sure that tom selleck on here isn't really drew peterson, and yes in jail u can have use of a computer .tv , so how do we know it really isn't drew peterson as tom selleck just a thought . Either way noone here will change what's happened and what the outcome of the trial will be .

And that is sad, the children and the family members of each individual in this case has been affected and they will never be the same . The children are the ones who will suffer the most , who do they really have in their lives now?

Simone we DONT know that TOM SELLECK isn't DP. If you go back and read thru the comments he seems to know A LOT about him and what has been going on on his life. It could be him or his sleaze bag attorney. He was apparently there with DP watching the movie with his computer.

Wow Simone I just reread your comment about his FB page and Tom Sellecks picture right under DP name, now that's a no brainer. I also hope Staceys and Kathys kids are doing well and they never see the likes of him ever again.

I do know that the family and also drew peterson were able to watch the movie yesterday the 21st when it came out and if they want to they should. After all it does depict their story, but I have read each and every comment on here and yes very informed on the story mr selleck . U should check out facebook and see the pic. I just found that interesting. I was actually at the will county court house getting some papers files for personal reasons when the jury selection was going on for drew petersons case . I also lived in plainfield off 111th @ the time . When the other lady lisa dissapeared . I do have friends that are police officers not for bolingbrook , mainly on the s side and city but I do know drew can keep his pension so hopefully the kids are getting that since it can't be taken away . If u had children and something happened to u wouldn't u want them to have as much as possible ? So they could be taken care of . They will never see their mothers again and prob not their father , and don't get to see certain family members . Its sad . And the other thing is has he paid for this attorney or is he court appointed? Because if he is court appointed the attorney cannot decide if he is or isn't going to reprsent him . So he may be just doing his job and not have to be a sleeze bag. ( The attorney that is )

Yes, right under . Interesting how the comments from mr selleck have stopped . ?

Simone I just looked on FB and I seen what you were talking about, interesting how his comments stopped for sure. And of course I want his children taken care of. They don't deserve any of this, nor does the families.

His attorney I just don't care for. Not sure if its because he's defending him or what.

I'm not sure if his court appointed, to be honest I don't think he is. I think he's supposes to be high profile!!

I do know he had a different attorney at the beginning and no longer representing him , but w the charges he needed an attorney no brainer on that one so I'm not sure if his attorney is court appointed but , a lot of people will dislike attorneys for representing people with such charged crimes . Its almost natural.

The other thing is in the us its hard after media gets a hold of thigs , news facts and things get distorded , sometime evidence is lost .look at the anthony trial the outcome on that one. So even after all of what's happened in this case no one knows what will unravel or come out of all this , until it actually is time for the verdict . I think its hard picking out a jury in cases such as these

I do know the movie wasn't accurate. There is no possible way they could have known what went on in Staceys bedroom between the two of them. And with him putting Kathy in the jail cell, I can't believe that could ever happen. But they had to spice the movie up. Either wayhe was a creep. I watched him from the beginning, a lot of it was just as he portrayed himself.

As for picking a jury, I thinly it will be just like the Casey Anthony trial. But let's hope theses jurors take their time and look at all the evidence. And I'm sure they have more then they are letting on.

Dang auto correct. * I think

Not sure about the movie I haven't seen it I fig honestly y watch it , first its going to be a little hollywood all movies usually are. Second they never found stacey so where's the outcome besides we know he's in jail. And she's still missing . Or worse most likely . Third, without the trial the people really don't know know more than what's been in the media and whatever evidence is "new " or different we won't know till the trial . Noone in hollywood knows that so I think pay the actors and the rest of the money should go to the city of bolingbrook to compensate the tax payers for what went on . Or atleast torwards the expenses of the search for stacey or her body .Well, hopefully this will turn out like its suppose to without a circus and a half like half of these judicial proceedings usually are because of the media and cases like the casey anthony case where evidence gets tainted lost or ? Its crazy in this day and age how often that happens . Sad really.

Beyond a resonable doubt comes to mind. I've known ladies that, "who would never leave their kids" leave with no regrets or turning back because of home situations. I've experienced the controlling older man syndrome. I've slipped in the tub causing bruising and a hit to the head(I was alone). One never knows unless you're there...

If someone in America has NOT heard of the Drew Peterson case by now, they must be living under a rock. Almost everything in the movie has already been made known to the public. It also has to be hard to write a 2-hour movie script that covers all of the happenings over the past 5 years. I got a kick out of Rob Lowe's portrayal of Drew and yes, agree, he overdid it with the Chicago accent at times (da Bears!).

Hello everyone big Daddy's back!!

Why hasn't Glasgow brought this to trial if he has a sure case...maybe because he's waiting for something solid instead of hearsay, or enough people try Drew in the media/public opinion. Our legal system is getting to be a joke, give him his day in court and end this case. I don't know if he's guilty or not..not basing my verdict on what others think of his attitude or looks,
guilty/ or non-guilty should be decided in court.

BASED on a true story. NOT a TRUE story. No one said it was going to be all TRUE! I thought it was quite entertaining. Although they aren't the best, I am a fan of the Lifetime movies.
In this movie, I thought Rob Lowe did a great job. I also wish on the real life side, they would find Stacy :(

I found it entertaining. It reminds me of a soap opera. It takes a few facts and a whole boatload of rumors and attempts to make a movie about it. If anything it just tells people what they already know. Drew Peterson is extremely creepy and they don't have any strong evidence against him.

Hollywood making money is what I saw.

Didn't watch it. No need to bring any more attention to this person than the press is doing already.

Who fed Joe Hosey the biggest B.S. that there was a party in the Police lock up and also Drew placing Kathy in a cell! What a bunch of bunk!!

Haha. The Big Daddy line had me dying. Along with the "I'm untoachable blank" line. I've now used them multiple times in my personal life for comedy. So thanks Hosey for contributing to some great comedy. The was like an SNL parody right? Da Bears Da Bears Da Bears. I didn't know Coach Ditka was married to Stacy.

I think Mr P just might pull this whole thing off, and all he'll really get is time served. It's my understanding that they have no good solid evidence. They just know he did it, as we all do. That cannot convict. The gloves won't fit again.......

I agree Ernie!

Well, there's so much that we don't know. Alot of the movie "could" have happened. No one was paying attention because everyone thought he was on the up & up. Seriously, a cop killer who targets wives? It's a first that I know of, at least 2 of them. And come on, we all know he killed both of them, even if we can't prove it.

We can only assume he may have killed one and the other is missing! Here in the good old U.S. we are innocent until proven guilty! That's what I can't stand here , people have Drew convicted already!

Sorry I never mentioned he's guilty of anything!

Also Joe his 20 million dollar bond is a joke! A career criminal from Carol Stream stabs his wife to death with several stab wounds and gets a $750,000.00 bond!

Selleck, I didn't realize my comment was over your head. Obviously, your reading comprehension is a little off-the-mark. Let me help you. If you re-read my statement, which you have now re-posted twice, I did not say Peterson was the worst murder defendant ever. I said he was the biggest "clown" of a murder defendant. I'm sorry, I didn't realize that my comment was too difficult for you to understand. Forgive me.

One other thing, Selleck. There is no need to re-post my comment,which you have done twice now. Do you have a problem with me posting here? You sure are being rude to me.

Oh sorry watchful eye ! I'll man up and admit I misread your comment! Over the years I've seen far worse biggest clowns of a murder defendant ever ! Shall I name several over the years? Watchful eyes since I don't want to hurt your sensitive feelings, I removed one of my comments !

You do whatever you want Selleck. I really don't care. My feelings are just fine, thank you.

My feelings are fine too ! I just love to stir the pot here and ruffle everyones feathers to see how stupid they react!

I found this to be very interesting ! This idiot from Bolingbrook stabs his mother to death for no apparent reason and flees to be found 85 miles away! His bond 5 million for one count of murder, bloody knife and violent crime scene! Drew Peterson one count of murder 20 million bond and 7 year old crime scene and hearsay!
http://philippinetimesofsouthernnevada.com/featured/pre-trial-up-tuesday-for-fil-am-in-moms-killing/

Maybe Drew and move to Naperville if he ever gets out of jail.

Easy there Selleck. You've had some pretty shoddily put together comments yourself. Stop the personal attacks.

Sure Joe ! Just for you!

If Drew Peterson looked like Rob Lowe these babes would have never dumped him like they were. Did "big daddy" mean Drew looked like he was pregnant?

Just like the numerous repeated news articles he posted in the Herald News, it seems that Joe Hosey was more interested in hearing his own name than telling a real story. It was quite self serving... Joe, next time start at the beginning of the story instead of the middle and maybe you'll have something. Drew was a dirty cop all the way back when he was a NARC for Will county. You seem to have missed a lot of information that would paint Drew in a less than gleaming light, although as you have referred to him as "Will County's favorite son" and several other light monickers, I believe you actually look up to Peterson. No mention of Kathleen being treated for the beating she took at the hands of Drew Peterson. It was a shoddy made for TV spoof at best. Sorry, I never thought you were all that great of a writer when you were with the Herald, which is a dead news source anyway. Do dome research about Drew and how he was buying drugs from Bindy Rock and later set up Rock when his buying was discovered by his superiors and he claimed he was acting as a rogue agent for MANS.....

Joe Hosey how are you?I just want to throw you a little bone ! Did you ever try to talk to and ask the ex- Chief prior to the last two Chiefs ,why he didn't handle Drew differently or took disciplinary action against him!
