The Ex Next Door

I tried watching it and was excited to see it based on the plot but I barely got through 10 minutes before deciding that was enough. Between bad editing and scene cuts to the actors and dialogue and even music, it was boring, cringeworthy and uninterested. I couldn't even watch more to see if it would get better and I love Lifetime movies so this was a big disappointment.

The story was slightly entertaining, as many Lifetime movies are; characters are clueless, as in many Lifetime movies. The acting could have been worse. My biggest problem with this flick is that the actors all look so similar, I had trouble telling them apart, especially in scenes shot in semi-darkness. Both women had brown hair, sometimes in pony tails, same age, similar body builds, same height; the men, too, looked similar to each other--the same age, same complexions, same builds. Couldn't they vary them a bit? That crockpot mixup was pretty funny but not so unusual, even in first-rate movies.

I laughed so hard my tits fell off which is a true story because I went to see my plastic guy for some new ones. IMDB is killing my impact statement saying I need to type more - won't make my tits grow back tho.

I'm rating this as a Lifetime or Hallmark thriller. Caught this on Prime and overall it's decent and worth a watch. All the leads are fit and attractive which made me give it an extra eye candy star. If you like Lifetime or Hallmark films, this one is definitely worth a look.

This is a Lifetime movie which pretty much explains the low rating, but at least it doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't - a genuine and unashamed presentation of pure crap, that even has a couple of half decent moments thrown in, which is why I gave it more than zero.
