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.

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.

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.

Wow lifetime moves just aren't like they used to be back In the 90's/early 2000's. Almost all newer lifetime movies are just bad. This in was no exception. It was almost painful to watch bc the acting was so awful! Start making better movies lifetime....pleeeeeease.

This movie may have been a little bit better if he acting were better but it was awful
