La Femme secrète de mon mari

Once again I'm plonked in front of the TV, getting over a cold and watching tripe. Normally films shown in the afternoon have a reasonable plot, but this film is just implausible nonsense. I can think of no redeeming features, one to avoid.

The rating of 5 is pretty accurate for a TV movie. It's neither very good nor very bad. The plot is also very obvious though they try to keep the suspense till the end.

A new low in TV movies for Lifetime. Storyline is insane. Acting is terrible. I need 1.5 hours of my life back.

A film that starts well but quickly the plot becomes highly predictable, it's a bit like Gaslight without a decent script, direction and acting. The male at the centre of the love triangle truly is a terrible actor, whose performance is like colour by numbers, highly predictable and wooden. It's not bad, it's not good either. Could have done with more work on the script and production.

So this film is odd. Widow's son is almost kidnapped from a soft play centre and the kidnap is thwarted by a handsome stranger. Widow falls in love with the stranger and they marry, only for her to later discover her new husband is already married. Her husband's real wife is unhinged and determined to get her estranged husband back, but there is a sinister twist, seems the husband and his real wife have other ideas. The strange thing about this film is the second "wife" doesn't get that she's not legally married as her "husband" is still married so he's a bigamist, so why hasn't he been arrested.
