I Killed My BFF

This is an intense well acted drama.

Two young mothers become best friends but events occur to cause their relationship to go bad and murder arises....

The lead actresses Olivia Crocicchia and Katrina Bowden both give super creepy drama queen performances and its just about a tie as to who steals the show.

Worth a look!

7/10.

So based on the title/info, I assumed this was going to be one of those cheesy Lifetime thrillers... But it's a lot more complex than that. It's really about a toxic friendship, and it explores darker themes like mental health conditions and the difficulties of motherhood. Overall it wasn't bad, but just be aware of what you're getting into before watching. If you want something more serious/complex, go for it. But if you're looking for some comedic thriller, this isn't it.

This movie title is so off-putting, for a long time, I deliberately avoided watching it based purely on the useless title. However, on finding out that it was based on a true story, I decided to take a risk and watch it. After enjoying such a good movie, I ended up hating the title even more!!!!!!

Don't confuse this with the TV series on Lifetime, it isn't an episode of the series. This is a TV movie loosely based on one of those true life cases and the plot is quite good in the way true stories are often better than fiction.

A young woman Heather who has bipolar disorder (played quite convincingly by Olivia Crocicchia) and an ambitious woman Shane (30 Rock's Katrina Bowden) become friends after meeting at a hospital when giving birth. They become neighbors and baby sit for each other. Chris Zylka plays Shane's struggling husband whose weakness of character is quite well portrayed. Things are quite normal at first and they have some problems but then some bad decisions are made when Shane wants to invest in a business and things spiral out of control. Nobody is obviously good or bad at least at first it makes things tense because you don't know how things are going to play out.

Worth a watch.

This is a really good movie with a really horrible title. I've seen it in the channel lineup several times and skipped past it. Having BFF in the title is so corny and I 100% assumed this involved some cheesy drama with high school girls. It wasn't like that at all. Not even close. I randomly left it on the other night because recognized the hot blonde from Tucker and Dale. I missed the first 20 minutes or so but I loved the movie. I really dig the Lifetime stuff..guilty pleasure. This is one of the better ones I've seen. I know they say not to judge a book by it's cover, but the title of this movie is going to turn off so many people. Shame.
