La tentation d'une mère

Wow. After hundreds of Lifetime Movies, most of which feature women who jump into bed with someone she only met a few minutes ago, this one left us dumbfounded. We find out early that "Sharon" had an affair with another real estate agent while her husband was still alive. Not long after she has intercourse with a high school friend of her son. Willingly, I might add. Then she does it again- quite willingly. SMH "Dylan" was totally unbelievable- both as a villain...and as a mama lover. Casting on him was laughable.

Plot was weak and the premise behind all of this was, at best, questionable. To believe that a kid would go to all those extremes to avenge an unrequited love of his father's is too much of a stretch.

Don't waste your time on this one...

It seems to me like a long My friend hot Mom episode by Naughty America, without explicit scenes. I don't judge the acting but the plot it's not great, I found it hard to watch it entirely. I guess it's just a TV movie. Also I don't understand why the title on the label it's Cruel Fixation and in the movie it's sinister seduction

The plot here was , to be blunt, fairly silly and childish. How many times have we seen the same type of story , but executed badly here.

I mean, Sharon the mother, lets be honest, is she that easily enticed? , and by a teenager ! It didnt seem to phase her at all that he was her sons's bestie ( or so he thought ). Most normal adult women do Not do that ! This is typical of the bad writing throughout this movie.

The whole thing was just lame , and the ending? Big Sigh .................. Need I say more !

So the plot was a great one to explore . You've got love, betrayal, and murder but some of the actors fall real short on delivering the end product here to drive the plot home to the viewer. The character of Dylan did very well playing the villain... sexy, mysterious, yet definitely on the crazy train. However, the main character of Sharon (the mom) was absolutely horrifying trying to watch as she tried to deliver the same to the audience. I've literally watched paint dry more enthusiastically than the performance that actress tried to put on. Same with the son, Anthony. He had good moments, but most of it was dry and hard to get through. The actor who played Dylan... could have more of a breakout performance for home if he had a better cast to support him.

Standard Lifetime fair. I did not see the appeal of Dylan. (Canadian Johnathan Taylor Thomas?)
