Retratos de família

This was a very good "Lifetime" feature mainly due to Elizabeth Rohm and Justina Muchado, they made it great because they are both great actors!

Wow, what a real treat watching Elisabeth Rohm in action on TV screen once again. Her partner in crime was amazing as well.. Hell hath no fury as two women were conned by the same man. They got their payback in spades..

One man, two families.

Not a bad watch. There is an expectation when it comes to watching Lifetime movies and this one lives up to their slightly better than average made for tv films. They tend to have decent acting and sets. The script work isn't always the best but it is good enough to hold your attention. It's not a blockbuster but it was a good pick for my night on the couch.

What a scumbag this dude was. He didn't care anything about his children. I was waiting for that moment to happen where he explains to the kids or has a heart to heart with them (even if they are college age) but it never happened. I will say, that's what's missing from this film.

However, I did enjoy the fact that these women did not mope around and fall into a huge pathetic mess. They each dealt with this situation in their own ways. They grieved and learned how to handle their business and instead of breaking down and becoming weak and hopeless, they took their lives into their own hands. I like how they came together and the friendship they built. It made me smile.

I also like how the kids didn't turn against each other. They embraced each other. Even though we may have seen this plot before, I think this was done a bit more eloquently. Loved the edginess of Elizabeth Rohms character especially.

Surprisingly good...not a typical lifetime movie. Really enjoyed it
