Mommy Is a Murderer

Ok, so the acting is pretty good, especially for this genre. With the notable exception of the "newscaster" character. Yikes. But the WRITING, my gosh - the writing is just horrible! The dialog is stilted and ridiculous. Probably the most laughable part is the main character's boutique name: Juvenile Shop. Seriously!

This was such a horrible movie. Don't waste your time unless you want to end up frustrated and angry. The title doesn't fit the plot and the ending was horrible.

Worst acting that I've seen in a long time. The husband was very annoying where did they find these people??? the only person that could act was a little girl honestly

No person would be as stupid as the lead character. Noting she does makes any sense. Well acted but absolutely horribly written.

But the execution left a lot to be desired. I just cannot abide idiotic characters. Sometimes Lifetime has movies that hit all the right notes like Dying to Be You. Then they have movies like this one where you have to accept illogical actions in order for the plot to "work." I don't want to rehash the plot because this comes on often enough that you can catch it, but Karina was not a smart protag and made some truly terrible decisions. Nothing she did seemed like the natural reaction to the events happening around her. She's the protag sure, but I ultimately just wanted the little girl to be rescued even if not by her and her husband.

Lena was a decent villain and she played the creepy and evasive role pretty well. I have been a fan of Bree W since OLTL (she's one of the rare recasts that worked) and this movie and Killer in My Home have been so disappointing.
