Double Mommy

Movie is bad, terrible actors and actress, terrible cinematography, What happened Lifetime? You use have such great movies, I think around 2007 or 2009 is when it started to decline. Watch Lifetime movies made in the 80s through 2005 any newer films are pure trash. Lifetime use to have so much drama and good actors now their just lazy.

Brent is a total lowlife. Like Josh Gaines, he comes from entitled privilege. In a way, Brent Davick was even worse. When you look at the Josh Gaines/Jenna situation, one can argue that the relationship had already run its course and Josh was simply too dumb to know it. I don't see any evidence of them having done any drugs or drinking. His obvious question: what made Jenna lose attraction to him in the first place. Was Monica's real problem that Josh was not spending enough money on dates? Brent Davick, however, was a complete psychopath. Even Josh Gaines would not have descended this low, drugging someone.

I can understand the social commentary of seeing a rich spoiled guy getting away with heinous acts and his parents protecting their reputation/family company. That was the only realism seen in this movie, the rest of it was just a ridiculous chain of events.

1) The guy's dad bribed the first rape victim and attempted to bribe Jess as well. Hush money given like this is not a legal binding contract.

2) Along the lines of blackmail, one of the teens was scared into not providing testimony from the night of the incident, as Brent's dad threatened to share that this witness had a DUI conviction. I don't see how that should be a deterrent. Any applicant is obligated to self-report past criminal convictions, and DUI's are public records. Most reputable colleges run background checks anyhow, and are bound to find out about it.

3) It's just so convenient that the alleged rapist and the victim still attend school and interact with one another. Plus Jess miraculously gets an entire group of people at a soccer stadium to hold up signs condemning Brent.

4) Brent's first rape victim is driving down a stretch of road and is being followed by Brent (she likely doesn't know it's him). How about driving to a public place or pulling over and calling the cops?

5) Rich dad just so happens to not lock his gun in a safe, and when he realizes it's missing he ends up in Jess' backyard right before his son is about to kill her. Hopefully he called the cops for backup.

Combined with the above stupidity, the last 20 minutes of this movie was exceedingly melodramatic. As for any positives - some of the older actors do a quality job. The high school characters are all cardboard cutouts.

While yes, it was a little poorly shot and was clearly a lower budget film, I was impressed.

It accurately portrays the often overlooked struggles of daterape victims, and sheds some much-needed light on how disregarded the poorer female voices are in the "justice" system and the deep mental sickness that can live within privileged families. No, it was not AMAZING, but it deserves to be rated higher. It was worth the watch, and should be celebrated more for bringing awareness to such a drastic, realistic, terrifying, impactful, and FULLY POSSIBLE situation.

This film deserves more credit and recognition for what it accomplished. I ask you to give it a chance, even if it's just 30 minutes. It deserves that, at least. I ask you to look past all the cruel digs at the actors and cinematography. The young actors did as well as possible, especially in such challenging, emotional roles.

Again, not perfect. But beyond worth it. And one of a kind. I hope it becomes as impactful as it should be. Especially in today's society, which tragically sees these situations more than ever.

It's so bad it's good. Watched it with the wife and kept me interested. Yes completely ridiculous but my wife enjoyed it. Happy wife, happy life.
