Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Missing (2003)

Single mom on the prairie loses her elder daughter to human-trafficking Indians and has to enlist her estranged father (who ran off to play Indian when she was a kid) to help find her.

There were times that the movie seemed almost OK, but it mostly just seemed like cliches with a dose of mysticism. Since it was directed by Ron Howard, even the "kidnapped to be sold into sexual slavery" story was somehow sanitized.
