  SPLICEDwire: "The Deep End of the Ocean" review
I had a problem with "The Deep End of the Ocean" right off the bat because Michelle Pfeiffer loses her kid (that's the plot) at one of those 15th class reunions that take place only in the movies.
Based on the Jacquelyn Mitchard novel of the same name, "Deep End" traces the evolution of Beth Cappadora's (Pfeiffer) family after her son disappears then jumps to a decade later when Beth spots a local boy who she's sure is her missing offspring.
"Deep End" is respectful of the audience and doesn't try to jerk us around emotionally, which is a refreshing change, but in the process its characters became unrealistic goodie-goodies.

 Movie Review: 'The Deep End of the Ocean'
"The Deep End of the Ocean" rides the whitecaps of its domestic tempest on an even keel, which results in both benefits and shortcomings.
Based on the novel by Jacquelyn Mitchard, "Deep End" begins with the disappearance of a 3-year-old boy.
Still, it is a credit to both the filmmakers and the cast that we remain engrossed in the plight of the Cappadoras and that they seem like real people on whose lives we seem to be eavesdropping.

 TheMovieBoy Review: The Deep End of the Ocean (1999)
"The Deep End of the Ocean" is a rather frustrating drama because, on the one hand, it is a realistic and beautifully acted drama with several touching moments that come out of the screenplay, instead of taking the easy route and plucking at the heartstrings with maudlin melodrama.
"The Deep End of the Ocean" is a respectable family drama, but is all the more disappointing since it is obvious that it could have been so much more.
The performances in "The Deep End of the Ocean" are so strong and assured that it's too bad the obviously truncated screenplay didn't hold up its half of the bargain.

The title, The Deep End of the Ocean, refers to Ben's first, timid reaction to a large body of water.
Later in the novel, Beth reflects that Ben has indeed been to the ocean's deep end, and returned.
Recurring throughout the novel is the image of a cedar chest -- as a coffin, as a storage for keepsakes, as a hiding place for Ben.

The Deep End of the Ocean's principal problem--and there are many to choose from--is its wafer-thin characterizations.

 The Deep End of the Ocean
The Deep End of the Ocean is a story about the trauma and heartache of a family experiencing the loss of a child.
On the other hand, however, it's hard to shake the notion that Deep End is nothing more than a network "movie of the week" kind of film, albeit with a bigger budget.
But assuming you know where you are on the "emotional impact" scale, then you also have a sense of whether you'll find Deep End a movie worth seeing in the theaters, on video, or not at all.

The Deep End of the Ocean is a story about every parent's worst nightmare: the loss of a child.
It is a story that is all too familiar to many of us, made frighteningly routine by the young faces emblazoned on milk cartons or steeped in pathos by Hollywood scriptwriters.
It would be easy for a writer to grant a happy ending to the Cappadora family, who have been through so much and none of it their fault.

 The Deep End Of The Ocean - Movie Review
I do not know what "The Deep End of the Ocean" is supposed to mean, but I figured it carried some deeply symbolic motif-laden mumbo-jumbo that novelists tend to include in their works, or else it was robbed from a dumb line of dialogue inserted merely to give a movie its name.
Instead, The Deep End of the Ocean is a surprisingly thoughtful and laconic character study, full of nuance and genuine emotion, largely driven by Pfeiffer's unraveling character Beth.
To be sure, there's no surprise by the time you get the end of the picture, but I have to say, I'm calling my mom right now.

Ulu Grosbard's Deep End of the Ocean has some powerful moments that will send you reaching for the Kleenex, but, as a whole, it lacks the wallop it should have packed.

 "The Deep End of the Ocean" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
In The Deep End of the Ocean, Beth Cappadora (Michelle Pfeiffer) heads to her Chicago-based class reunion with three children in tow while hubby, Pat, (Treat Williams) stays home to work.
Nine years later, he shows up on her doorstep, totally unaware of who she is, or who HE is. A very emotional storyline, especially for parents of young children who know that ANYTHING can happen in a matter of seconds.
The deep emotions are expressed superbly, and you cannot help but relate to the characters' anguish and cry right along with them.

The Deep End of the Ocean shows how loss shakes the foundations of a strong family, even as it presents the best-case scenario of an abducted child: that Ben grew up not only safe, but loved.
