The Wrong Bed: Naked Pursuit

Before I start my review, this was a lifetime movie. So, let that preface the movie itself. Lifetime movies are only so good, in my opinion. But maybe that's because I'm a guy. But with that said, this movie wasn't terrible. I gave it a 4 not only because of the acting and the complete predictability of the movie, but also because the title of the movie has NOTHING to do with the plot. The Wrong Bed? Naked Pursuit? The bed they woke up in was a bed they both consented to be in, they just don't remember how they got there. They are naked for all of 6 minutes of the movie. A better title would of been, "An Unknown Bed: Pursuit of the Truth", or something like that. Overall this was better then most lifetime movies but just as predictable.

I do tend to watch just thrillers/suspense movies when it comes to Lifetime screened production so I was a bit hesitant to watch this especially when read that it was based on Harlequin's novel and I dreaded of a way too cheese plot of two lovers tossing cheap kisses throughout. There are some movies out there that start like this one when somebody wakes up in bed trying to figure out what happened... so I was not sure what to expect. And since nowadays (2020) we have this over-rated & hyped-up covid-disease scare, I immediately felt medical connection that main characters went through from the thriller outset. Fortunately, the romantic side of the thrillers sits well with the movie and just the right actors were picked for the roles to spice it up romantically well yet still keeping you guessing who's the villain and how the plot culminate towards the finish.

Normally when watching a lifetime movie you can figure out who the villian or guilty party is pretty quickly. Or just whatever the mystery of the plot is. Which is fine. No one expects lifetime movies to be Oscar worthy. But this movie is so bizarre and the writers do not give you one inkling at all of what is happening. Its literally like watching ten different movies at time. The characters wake ip handcuffed to each other and terrified because they have never seen each other before in their lives. But then you stsrt to find put the night before they had s double date of binge drinking and bowling. The whole time they are tryimg to figure this out they are being chased by these scientiest in lab coats thst sometimes you see talkimg in a morque lab looking place. I dont know! This movie was terrible amd i love me some lifetime!

This is a typical "LMN" movie as the name gives it away "The Wrong Bed:Naked Pursuit" as it's plot is that of a couple who after a sleep study gone wrong undercover a deadly game of cat and mouse that involves government and medical scandal. Stella(Jewel Staite) and Owen(Corey Sevier) finds themselves awake in a hotel room after being together on a night in which they can no longer remember anything. Plus they are handcuffed together in bed with most of their clothes off! Plus Stella also sports a very sexy colored black bra!(which made this movie worth watching)they slowly remember the passion and hot sex they had, then it all comes back to them about the sleep study as a dangerous game is revealed. Overall good suspense drama and sex appeal for a TV movie so check it out!
