Deadly Daughters

Yvonne Zima (Young and the Restless's Daisy) played identical twins in their early twenties. The film sets the story about how the twins, Juliana and Debra Hansen. They live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with their mother. When their mother (Claire Rankin) wants to remarry, one of the twins is determined to stop it from the happening. The writing is pretty weak. I have to say that Yvonne Zima is the only redeeming quality in this film. Her performance as identical twins is worth watching at least once. I watched Yvonne Zima on "The Young & The Restless" as Daisy for years. It is nice to see this talented actress work her talent in a dual role performance. The film is camp and entertaining but not much else. It's also predictable even the twist of events in the film. You don't have to worry about figure out the plot. I wished Zima had better material to work with in the first place but she does a terrific job.

Yet another typical Lifetime movie. Nothing really to see here, except Yvonne Zima's performance. She isn't an Oscar-caliber actor, but she did do a decent job of playing two different characters with entirely different personalities. Other than that , this is standard Lifetime fare. But everyone should expect that by now of these movies.

I do have to say, though, that I find it hard to believe that one reviewer here thought there was a "shocking twist" at the end. It was telegraphed immediately fairly early on. I can't believe anyone didn't see it coming, considering how obvious it was. Especially in first scene where....well, I don't like doing reviews with spoilers, so I'll leave it at that.

Anyway, my six stars may be generous, but it is only because of Yvonne Zima.

Yvonne Zima has been one of LMN's young standouts with performances playing the bad girl in Killer Prom and The Girl He Met Online. Here she plays the bad and good girl and does it very well. She has seen success outside of LMN and let's hope this continues.

The plot here is formulaic and not very surprising. But it's what you should expect from a LMN movie. I find the better LMN movies where they delve into seedy people and their environments as opposed to rich people's lifestyles. This one visits both sides of the tracks.
