The Sweetheart (2018)
Sweet Jesus this is Bad; Morally Bad
Ok, mom's a drunk, and distracted dad crashes car and injured daughter, allowing for mom to finally make getting some strange a public thing. The way it's presented, it appears mom was cheating on dad the whole time.
Then, mom can't wait to giggle like a school girl and shove her new daddy down everyone's throat.
The only thing that would have made this a more typical Lifetime movie would be if the mom was glorified and made a heroine somehow for "following her happiness" or some such nonsense.
Jessalyn Gilsig is a good actress. She deserves better.
The Secret Lives of Second Wives (2008)
Morally reprehensible movie
Woman has a less than perfect husband, is stressed out about it, then causes fights so that she can justify having an affair with the local hottie lover boy. Comes clean, never really apologizes for her actions, giggles about her affair with her girlfriends, REALLY doesn't seem to feel remotely guilty, and gets everything she wants in the end.
And she's positioned by the movie as a heroine. This is example A1 with a bullet of double standards on affairs in movies.
