The Good Father: The Martin MacNeill Story

First, we watched the bizarre Lori Vallow Lifetime movie, then we caught the bizarre Martin MacNeil Lifetime movie. What's going on with Mormons?

The Martin MacNeill story is so strange that you'd think it was a work of fiction. Watch some of the actual court video on Youtube and read some of the news articles. Michele's daughter and sister really did have to solve and pursue the case on their own. They were also consultants for the movie.

I've just recently discovered this made-for-TV movie that is based on the true case of Michele MacNeill, who was murdered by her own husband, a fraud and a psychotic womanizer, in 2007.

There's no denying it's not the best crime thriller I've ever seen, but it compensates with being just as tense and gripping as any other crime film, what with its bone-chilling moments that keep you at the edge of your seat, amazing performances (whether it's the desperate daughter or the psychotic father), emotional moments and the like.

In short: not the best, but I loved it nonetheless. A must-watch, IMHO.

I had binders of evidence for why this movie was terrible, but just as I was about to write it in this review, I realized that it was actually a very charming movie. It was as charming as Martin MacNeill! I am easily charmed by bad movies. 10 out of 10!

I'm not too sure why people are putting this movie down because this movie is nothing but great. I am a person who doesn't really get interested in movies too much to the point where I sit still And can't move, but this movie the good father was excellent. Not only did it show a daughters internal love for her mom to speak for the dead but she also never gave up and it showed a sister's love thats so unbelievable to her others sisters that she put her life on hold to get make sure she got her sisters all together and took them away from the father who should not even have them based on his actions . It was a very realistic movie and I thought it was great. I have a celebrity daughter that lives in Los Angeles and she agrees that this movie is phenomenon and the daughter that played tje major role in this this movie did a phenomenal job in acting . The movie was very well written and produced . It touched me in many ways . I even cried .

Comes down to the director I think. Compelling story, good actors but just terrible result. Everything about it looks implausible even though it's based on a true stories.
