Secrets of a Marine's Wife

I'm a big fan of LMN movies and usually grade them on a curve. This is actually just a good movie period. No curve needed. 9 stars.

I am a huge fan of Mom. I always thought of Sadie Calvano's performance there a little sub-par. She's definitely improved greatly since then. She shines here and steals the show with some very fine acting. (Well, she has to. She's the star.) Will be interesting to see if she can move out of the LMN genre onto the big screen.

The style of showing the after event interviews mixed in with the storyline can be tricky to pull off. I've seen it overdone on LMN and elsewhere. They didn't do a lot of it here until close to the end and it worked well.

As noted by others, a big goof is the cool-looking 70's haircut on Chris is nothing you would see an active marine wearing. But this hardly ruins the movie.

It's hard to review based on real life films as you can only go by what is being presented. But this was easy to watch, told a story of love and lust gone wrong and those sad consequences for a young woman and her family.

This is based on a true story. I live in the town where it happened. They did not depict marines accurately. She was not killed in Joshua Tree National Park, but in the desert east of 29 Palms. They did not film in the desert and it was obvious it was not our area. The acting was ok.

Based on a true story. Small-town girl Erin gets a marriage proposal from Marine Corporal Jon Corwyn and she gets hitched in Las Vegas and moves on to the base with the other marines and their families. Things start out fine until she meets Chris Lee who is already married with a kid. Erin has an affair and ends up pregnant with his child. 3 weeks later she turns up missing. You'll have to tune in to see what happened and I highly recommend it! Sadie Calvano does a great job as Erin supported by a Canadian cast in this exceptional Lifetime movie!

So the story is the usual rubbish that's churned out on TV for people that enjoy staying at home all day and eating chips. It doesn't really bring anything new to the table, we've seen this so many times before.
