The Wrong Boy Next Door

This Lifetime movie has Calli Taylor as a bad girl who at one time was an A student. No real explanation is given,, but after she beans her teacher with a cell phone, Taylor is suspended and put on house arrest with an ankle monitor.

Still house arrest might not be so bad when she spots hunky Travis Burns working next door. He's doing home repair on a house that he says belonged to his late grandmother. Of course as it always is in these films Burns is a very bad guy way out of Taylor's league of badness.

Typical trash from Lifetime.

The good point - the presence of Vivica A. Fox. The bad - difficult to define with precision. Maybe the reasonable start , maybe the exploration of teenagers universe invaded by cliches. But it is far to be surprising. One of many films about the dark teenager and not real innocent victim near his guardian angel. And the open end , good looking young actors and , off course, Vivica A. Fox as a sort of savior of the too poor film.

At start I was first amazed by how dangerous the boy and his friend were. Realistic and good topic. Reminds me of personal problems with abusive people and confrontations and criminals. But towards end the movie get more and more predictable, annoying, boring. The fact that girl was limited within her own property only makes this movie very predictable and low quality. The cameras looked fake, the fact that it gets unnoticed by girl looks fake, the hiding of switching of corpse with a doll looks impossible or fake. Unfinished end. Leaves us with many questions, holes in the story, and disappointment. Too boring. Only few random violence acts in form of confrontations looked interesting to me, and maybe somewhat hot girl, nothing else.

I managed to do some cleaning, eat dinner/wash dishes, get ready for work tmrw and this movie was still on. Most if not all of the Wrong series involve obsession of some kind, but this had to be the weakest. I like Meredith Thomas' movies, and she, along with Vivica and Jason-Shane (who is basically a cameo) didn't make it worth it.

Also, I'm beyond sick of these villains getting away. It's so played out. It's one thing if they are just obsessed, but when they become killers, the movies totally drop the ball with tracking them down. They just move on to terrorize and after a couple of times, it's annoying.

The leading actress paid this movie to make it for her own deed. Very likely.... u will know after you watch it.
