Sister with a Secret

My wife and I like to watch these sort of made for TV movies and say the lines before the actors do and guess the various plot moves before they happen. This one was pretty good. We got a lot of the lines so the dialogue was not too original but several plot twists totally caught us by surprise. The acting was OK soap opera level, neither of us understand why the women are always so emotional and weak! She constantly shouts at the TV once you get him down finish him!! I guess the writers want to keep the story going but women are really tougher than that. Overall a reasonably interesting way to spend 90 minutes.

6.2 rating. Really. I got through 5 minutes of this movie. The acting is so bad it gave me a headache. Movie is called Sister With a Secret on Lifetime. Don't waste your time.

Tara, a senior, has a mother, a sister and a stepdad. But she also has a few guys who are in the mix and they both like Tara. Suddenly, Tara goes missing after a party. Who kidnapped her and why? The movie was a little predictable but worth a watch!

I guess I grade on a curve when it comes to Lifetime movies. I watch them all of the time. Most of the time they are fine for killing a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon. They are never really that bad. Every once in a while they surprise you. "Sister with a Secret" (that's the title under which I saw this movie) was one that surprised me. As Lifetime movies go, this one delivered the goods. The story was a good one. The movie had quite a bit of suspense. But what really make this movie as enjoyable as it was is the cast. The cast was very strong. "Sister with a Secret" gets the ultimate Lifetime movie compliment from me: I'd be willing to watch it again.

Its nice once in a while when one of these tv movies is actually good. Sister with a secret is one of them. And one thing that makes this good is it does not become obvious who the perpetrator is straight away. Jessica and tara live with their mum. Stepdad tom is devioced and she somehow makes enough money selling custom tshirts to support both of them. Tara does the usual teen thing of sneaking out and lying to her mum but when she goes off one day and does not come home its time for the only cop in the city to try and help, but really its more tara and her friend that will do the best work. The plot was good it was straightforword but exectuted alright. Of course acting not the best but it was not terrible either overall its a solid five but bording on a six.
