DOA at the PTA

I was expecting your typical Lifetime thriller with 'Nightmare PTS Moms' but it actually had a nice mix of comedy in it that isn't in a lot of other thrillers on the network. It's about a couple that moves to a new town with their daughter. The mother joins the school's PTA after meeting a charismatic Vanessa who turns out to be nuts. The whole story was believable because I could totally see this all playing out in real life (which definitely isn't always the case). I thought the chemistry between Gail and Chloe was strong as far as mother and daughter relationships go. There are plenty of other movies with a similar-ish plot, but I'd say it's got enough going for it that it's worth the watch :)

This was just your typical Lifetime Movie Network waste of two hours, the usual low budget of production, directing and writing. What stands out is the acting, even though it won't save the movie. Brianna Cohen and Alissa Filoramo did their best as a protagonist and antagonist respectfully, but is was Filoramo costume at the Halloween party that showed how far her sinister ways go, to manipulate everyone associated with the school. IMO, she makes a better disturbing and frightening subject, than Brianna makes it as a typical heroine. I can picture her taking on any dishonest blackhearted character that she is offered,

In all honesty not the worst of the made for tv daytime mystery thriller films. The acting was actually quite good in certain places but its the script with these films that usually lets them down. Cringy with some of the words added. There was no slow parts in this film though which was a plus point. No time in the movie did I feel my finger about to fast Forword the film. I actually enjoyed it. The three members of the cast that played the family were quite good. The rival mother was but not as good really. The rest of the side characters could bef orgotten but hey they were still alright when it comes to it. Overall a good film and better than some.

Gail and Rick move to a new city along with their daughter, Chloe. While dropping her daughter off at school, Gail meets Vanessa, president of the PTA, who thinks she should attend the meetings and Gail agrees. But Vanessa, a dangerous psycho, becomes jealous of Gail and Rick and wants to break them up! What will she do? You will have to tune in to find out. Well acted and good plot. Definitely recommend!

I went into this laughing at the premise, and came out of it actually sort of enjoying it. This was definitely way better than it had any right to be.
