You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Toughlove''''' is a 1985 American TV movie starring [[Lee Remick]] and directed by [[Glenn Jordan]].

==Premise==
High-school assistant-principal Rob Charters and his wife Jan discover that their son Gary is into alcohol and worse drugs. Gary is dating fellow addict Kristen Marsh...whose mother Darleen recommends the Toughlove organization to Rob and Jan.

==Cast==
*[[Lee Remick]] as Jan Charters
*[[Bruce Dern]] as Rob Charters
*[[Jason Patric]] as Gary Charters
*[[Dedee Pfeiffer]] as Kristen Marsh
*[[Piper Laurie]] as Darlene Marsh
*[[Dana Elcar]] as Max Wiley
* Jim Haynie as Lloyd
* Cyndi James Gossett as Ms. Hobart

==Production==
Toughlove was an organization founded in 1981 by family therapists Phyllis and David York. When the film was made, it claimed it had 1,500 chapters in the United States and 500,000 members worldwide.<ref name="sun"/>

Lee Remick was approached to do it by Glenn Jordan. "The piece interested me on its merits as a drama and I found the subject matter to have a great deal of power," she said. "It has an emotional impact. It's a subject I think will touch an awful lot of people, which is a sad commentary on our society and kids."<ref name="sun">TOUGHLOVE' DRAMA DEPICTS GROUP'S SELF-HELP CONCEPT: [SUN-SENTINEL Edition]
Buck, Jerry. Sun Sentinel 10 Oct 1985: 8.E.</ref>

The film was controversial because it was seen to embrace a movement that urged parents to get tough with abusive teenagers. The screenwriter, Karen Hall, based the script in part on incidents from real life Toughlove meetings.<ref>A PLOT FOR TV: GETTING TOUGH WITH ADOLESCENTS: [REVIEW]
STEPHEN FARBER, New York Times10 June 1985: C.18.</ref>

==Reception==
The ''New York Times'' critic said  the film "is only sporadically as powerful as it obviously intended to be. One problem is that it has the look of the typical TV movie, a kind of sanitized version of reality. Problems are reviewed but not forcefully conveyed." He also felt it was compromised by the need to have a happy ending, adding "The time is long past due, it would seem, for someone to get tough with the networks about the abuse of tired formulas."<ref>SENTIMENTALITY WATERS DOWN A WELL-MEANT MESSAGE: [REVIEW]
O'Connor, John J. New York Times 13 Oct 1985: A.23.</ref>

Movie historian [[Leonard Maltin]] described the picture as "A promising drama, helped greatly by sincere performances, but undermined by a manipulative script...Mostly a suburban update of ''[[Hud (1963 film)|Hud]]''; in which Patric and Pfeiffer share the [[Paul Newman]] role, Dern and Laurie share [[Melvyn Douglas]]'s, Remick has [[Patricia Neal]]'s, and Eric Schiff is in [[Brandon De Wilde]]'s."<ref>Maltin's TV, Movie, & Video Guide</ref>
