Le cauchemar d'une mère

A Wife's Nightmare is very interesting considering that it's based off real events. It's one of those made for TV drama's; It's watchable and entertaining. The acting was so so. The plot was a little all over the place which made the movie a little confusing at certain points. But understanding the made for TV restrictions It gets a passing grade from me. I truly feel that this would've been a much better film if it wasn't made for TV.

This movie was solely entertaining because the acting was so bad. If you want to feel good about your acting skills, watch this movie. I watch a lot of movies, and this movie is my worst nightmare. The whole movie is rising action, with suspenseful music for no reason. The music is even louder than the dialogue at some points and it is just a mess. Not 100% sure who directed it but it's horrible.

It's very sad to see beautiful, talented Jennifer Beals in a film like this, but such is the price of turning 50 in Hollywood. I give her credit -- she works much more than many other women her age. I think she could have afforded to skip this one.

Beals stars as Liz, a woman who has had a mental breakdown and recently returned to her family. She is the breadwinner; her husband Gabe is an out-of-work musician trying to put an album together. One day a young woman shows up, says her name is Caitlin and that she's Gabe's daughter. Her mother is deceased, and her will directed her daughter to him.

Since Caitlin is living out of her car, the family moves her in, and before long, she is causing problems as they await the DNA results. For one thing, she kisses her brother on the lips. Strange things begin to happen to Liz's work - files disappear when she's trying to make a presentation at work, for instance. Before long, Liz feels like she's ready for the asylum again.

It won't be hard to figure this one out. Thanks to Beals, it's not as bad as it could have been. One problem - for a presentation as major as the Beals character was giving, one would think she would have had those files on a jump drive in her office. Just saying. I saw it on Lifetime, which says it all.

The whole story is ridiculous.and the acting is awful. The scenes themselves are terrible because they make no sense. The main character has a huge presentation to do, she shows 3 picture and everyone loves it....Meeting over?? So bad we just couldn't turn away. We've rarely enjoyed laughing so hard at a movie.

I originally purchased this film just because Jennifer Beals was in it. I was not disappointed. Jennifer Beals is without a shadow of a doubt a versatile talented actress. The film had great intrigue and I like that. As far as I'm concerned if Jennifer Beals is in a film it's gonna be a great film!
