Mean Queen

Amy Turner (Allie MacDonald) is a psycho and will stop at nothing to be prom queen. Julie Taylor (Zoe McLellan) takes over teaching math class after her friend Joanne's apparent suicide. Her daughter Miya Fowler (Nia Roam) joins her as a new student and is befriended by Amy. Amy is failing math which threatens her prom dreams.

I'm fine with the first half of the movie. It's setting up a good Lifetime movie and I like the actresses. Zoe McLellan is a solid performer. First, there is the bad production. It looks dreary and not in a good way. Maybe they could push it more in the horror direction. Then there are a couple of logic problems in the writing and the problems keep piling up. I don't understand why everybody would assume that it's a suicide without the body. Calling her missing would fix the problem. When she finds the 3's, she has to call the cops. The story gets dumber and dumber as it goes. A promising B-thriller goes down the drain and I really hate Julie confronting Amy at the prom.

Really good thriller. Fantastic acting. Highly recommend

For the most part, this one was pretty decent. Your basic sociopath is a high school senior who will do anything to win. It was more of a drama than suspense, but overall it's worth a watch. The acting is surprisingly good also.

It had the potential to be great, but its storyline is hanging on a thread.

It is as if the makers just had these pieces of great ideas, but didn't develop the connection between them.

There isn't much to this movie. It's pretty mapped out for the viewer in the beginning. Very predictable. Put it this way, I watched it while I worked out in the morning and didn't miss anything by not watching the screen the whole time...you don't have to think or really try to follow the story much while watching it. I didn't remember the name of it afterwards (Mean Queen is the title on Tubi, which I actually had to go back to find because I wanted to look up the actors-I do that with most movies) and I wouldn't watch it again unless someone else was watching it and I was just there. It's not horrible, just not anything to remember.
