The Wrong series is pretty hit or miss, and while I don't fault it for the obviously intended campiness, there are scripts that are better than others. This is not a very good one. There are no real stakes in this. Everything is so matter of fact. Even when Jess gets stung by the wasps. I don't know if the original airing showed it, but my TV cut to commercial almost as soon as she got in the car. Not that I expected the scene to be like Thomas J in My Girl, but they showed nothing. In almost every other Lifetime movie, we see the effects of the villain knowing about another character's allergies. Not here.
I mean, there's just nothing here. I wouldn't have minded this movie to be more like the other "Wrong" movie with the girl on the swim team. Now her "Wrong" whatever he was had issues and kept tension in the movie. Seemed actually dangerous and unpredictable in his obsession. This movie is nothing like that.
So nobody contacts this girl's non-existent guardian for the investigation? That's another problem with these movies...the adults in charge never inform the parents or guardians until it's too late and it's discovered they don't exist. I also find it weird that Eric and Vivica had a blow up argument about planted pills from Emily, but the fact that he was accused of something never came up?? No one told his mother (Vivica)? Who wrote this script? Not to mention Emily lives in that big old house while her grandma is in a retirement home. Is granny not checking on her house? Why does granny still have the house? Is granny aware? Who pays the bills and keeps it maintained? Does granny have a POA who is taking care of her affairs? Who wrote this?
Emily was a boring villain who never changed her facial expression and had the most blah voice. I also think turning her into a killer was unnecessary especially since she got away in the end. I absolutely loathe those kinds of endings.
Not a good movie and Vivica and Jason-Shane couldn't save it.
