I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
How sad is this?
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Okay, well I can't say that the movie is boring, but I WILL say that it paints each and every character in a villain/hero dichotomy to the point of transparency. The protagonist (aka the woman who is being stalked by the woman she outbid) is just portrayed as an absolute ANGEL. She can do nothing wrong, everything she touches turns to gold, she is a former teacher of kids w/ special needs, she wins over the autistic (?) daughter of her 'nemesis' (in addition to charming her entire new neighborhood) and flawlessly deflects pretty much any sabotage directed at her. It was a classic movie in which every character is one dimensional, good and evil are firmly delineated and you just KNOW how the ending will turn out. The characters have next to no depth and not much thought must have went into this script. I disliked how they villanized the battered woman who has been placed into a caretaking role by fate. She had birthed a daughter with special needs, and while she did love her daughter she had her share of frustrations with the day to day care for her. Furthermore, her husband (who had been abusive and quick tempered prior to this) was injured in a work accident leading to an addiction to narcotic painkillers. Predictable.
Absolutely AWFUL movie! PLEASE, do yourself a favor and save two hours of your life. Do not watch this horrible excuse for a movie! This is a new low for LMN! I have to say, some of their recent movies were bad, but this one is the most pathetic and screwed up yet! Lifetime....You are beginning to suck even more worse than ever!
