Scorned

I caught this tv movie the other night. In recent decades, tv movies, in general, have come to outshine theatrical releases. Unfortunately, "A Lover Scorned", isn't one of them. It's a very droll and dull effort. No pizzazz. No charisma. No excitement. No melodrama. No emotion. It was as if the cast was going through a mere script reading. I would, ordinarily, rate it 4-stars out of 10. However, the story did have a number of twists and turns in it. So, I generously pushed it up to 5-stars. This project could have been and should have been much better than the finished product.

Plot convoluted and confusing while trying to be hip, different, and jarring. Obvious use of green screen during mountain scenes. Audio so bad in places throughout film, that I had to rewind several times to play it back to try to decipher what was being said, but never could - so gaps in dialogue throughout. The dialogue that COULD be heard was nonsensical at times. Acting by all: C- at best. (And the husband with the redundant name - Steve Stevens - was totally miscast, as was the supposedly 'hot' insurance guy who looked about 16 or 17)

Lifetime usually does well or at least decent with movies but this was god awful. The acting, plot, scenes and "effects" were so bad I've seen home movies look more professional. I seriously hate I waste an hour of my life on this

I enjoy watching the lifetime channels, but this movie is painful to watch. I'm not really sure who put this cast together but the acting is D-class. The insurance salesman is way too cocky and dull. The wife is naive and empty. The husband is all over the place. This was so bad that I was only able to stomach about 20 minutes of this movie. So, to the DVR trash you go...

10 Stars for laughable green screen and gay content. 1 Star for this movie being poorly executed and confusing. I drink wine when I watch these movies and I'd have to "Put a Cork" in this one.

Brooke tells Wong that whatever he thinks she did, she did. What that is? I couldn't tell you.
