K.I.S.S
The reason I watch Lifetime movies is because they know how to keep it simple stupid. Is it Oscar award acting and writing and directing? Of course not silly. Nevertheless, I prefer Lifetime movies to some theater Blockbusters.
Major motion pictures often have a habit of making the plot complex and making the viewer work hard to follow it, or in some cases, make it impossible for the viewer to follow it, such as Inception, which I think I rated lower than this Lifetime movie.
This one had most of the elements that I appreciate about Lifetime movies, namely, enough drama and suspense to keep you wondering, and a plot that is easy to follow. Thank you Lifetime.
ABOUT MY REVIEWS:
I do not include a synopsis of the film/show -- you can get that anywhere and that does not constitute a meaningful review -- but rather my thoughts and feelings on the film that hopefully will be informative to you in deciding whether to invest 90-180 minutes of your life on it.
My scale: 1-5 decreasing degrees of "terrible", with 5 being "mediocre" 6- OK. Generally held my interest OR had reasonable cast and/or cinematography, might watch it again 7 - Good. My default rating for a movie I liked enough to watch again, but didn't rise to the upper echelons 8- Very good. Would watch again and recommend to others 9- Outstanding. Would watch over and over; top 10% of my ratings 10 - A classic. (Less than 2% receive this rating). For Lifetime Movies for Chicks (LMFC), drop the above scale by 3 notches. A 6 is excellent and 7 almost unattainable.
