These reviews make me realize some people didn't get the memo that Lifetime Movies are campy on purpose. That's the point. In other words they're over the top, overdramatic and cheesy. Literally that's why they're fun to watch. I have almost never seen anyone get this more than the actress playing the villain !! Spot on! She embodies everything we need in an LMN villain. Her facial expressions and delivery of the lines make the movie.
Best quotes that cracked me up:
Everyone knows that a good therapist doesn't give you the answers (while wielding a knife!)
I'm not a therapist but I've had enough therapy to be pretty good at it!
They said I was superficially charming! Do I seem superficially charming to you???
After being told she's crazy she replies: We don't like that term! It's stigmatizing!
And as you can see some of these lines may not be funny on a script but bc of the way she delivers them they are!! Now I've seen this actress play side characters before like the school guidance counselor but I've not seen her play the lead or a villain. So what a treat. I say sign her up for more villain roles. She's like a syrupy sweet villain with a sense of humor. Everyone else is just standard fare for Lifetime except Eric Roberts of course who we are blessed to have on Lifetime as he in my opinion is a great actor. Very underrated. If you really want to see him shine in an old lifetime movie that Is based on a true story and will be unforgettable check out Fatal Desire. Now that isn't meant to be camp or cheesy. That is a movie that you'll never forget though!
