Rain (2007)
Plot of Rain
RAIN is the story of a 19-year old African-American girl (named Rain) who lives in the inner-city projects with her younger sister Beneatha; her older brother, Roy; and their mother Latisha. When Rain's sister becomes involved with gang members, she is drugged at a party and becomes the subject of sexually explicit photos that are used for blackmail. Rain tries to intervene but is unsuccessful, and she ultimately witnesses her sister's murder, thus becoming a threat to the gang. In order to protect Rain, her mother secretly contacts Rain's biological mother - who happens to be white, all unbeknownst to Rain. A meeting is arranged and Rain discovers her true roots: She is the secret child of a bi-racial union and was then put up for adoption. Rain’s biological mother reluctantly agrees to protect her, and Rain is placed in the home of her grandmother, a wealthy white woman. While their relationship is initially uneasy, with the result of her grandmother’s assistance, Rain is placed in a private boarding school for the gifted, which culminates in her emergence as a talented singer and musician. RAIN is written by world-renown author V.C. Andrews, the world’s most successfully franchised author.
Review of Rain
If you have ever read a V.C. Andrews novel, this movie duplicates the same style and delivery as though you were reading one of her books - a fan of Andrews would recognize her style almost immediately.  The drama, suspense and character development were all parallel to her books, but I do not know if it is a inherent flaw of bringing it to the big screen, but the little nuances of the plot were removed and the ending was fairly predictable (especially having read the book first).  However, even with these flaws the movie was very enjoyable to watch.   Besides the main story penned by the masterful V.C. Andrews, it was headed by a very strong cast of past and present stars who are known for the skills instead of their swagger.  The list includes Faye Dunaway, Robert Loggia, Brooklyn Sudano, Giancarlo Esposito and Khandi Alexander.    Watching veteran greats such as Dunaway and Loggia working together was one of the many highlights of this movie. The plot called on many emotions to be evoked - sadness, loss, happiness, pain, suffering and others, and each of the actors were believable regardless of thier role.
