A Wife's Nightmare

The poorly-written premise here, supposedly based on 'true events', is about a 19 yr old girl who finds her father after her mom died. The first 70-odd minutes of this movie has a vanilla, almost Disney-like feel to it. The final 15 or 20 will actually be worth it for some, and another predictable and thus disappointing end to others.

While I must admit that I did not fully have the end-game all figured out early-on like some, the 'twist' still came with little shock simply because these types of movies almost always read the same.

Don't get me wrong, there are some few shreds of entertainment value to be had here. For me it was the presence of Jennifer Beals as the troubled and tormented mom. For others it might for all I know be the very slight hints of incest. Still others might enjoy its slow pot-boiler suspense (if you can call it that) with G-rated language.

But the sad fact is that those who are looking for a well-written well-directed and well-acted dramatic masterpiece are in for a letdown. I gave it 4/10 stars, 3 for Beals' presence, and one more for Lola Tash (spelled as "Trash" btw in the Shaw Cable listings writeup for this movie, lol) who was a pleasant surprise. Jenn Beals deserves better than this, and I hope to see Lola in some bigger budget productions in future where she can really show her talent.

This movie was insane! I felt on the edge of my seat the whole time! The acting was better than most Lifetime movies. Once the ending came, it felt like a whole mess. But an entertaining awesome type of mess! Jennifer Beals was amazing! She really showed how insane a person can get.

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've seen worse. Not bad for a no-star-power cast. Jennifer Beals held it together the best she could. The young son was so bad, it was painful to watch his performance. Totally predictable plot. Don't pay for this movie, find it free.

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!
