Jennifer Beals is fantastic as always.

I originally purchased this film just because Jennifer Beals was in it. I was not disappointed. Jennifer Beals is without a shadow of a doubt a versatile talented actress. The film had great intrigue and I like that. As far as I'm concerned if Jennifer Beals is in a film it's gonna be a great film!

Good but should've been better if it wasn't Made for TV

A Wife's Nightmare is very interesting considering that it's based off real events. It's one of those made for TV drama's; It's watchable and entertaining. The acting was so so. The plot was a little all over the place which made the movie a little confusing at certain points. But understanding the made for TV restrictions It gets a passing grade from me. I truly feel that this would've been a much better film if it wasn't made for TV.

Not bad for no star power

I've seen worse. Not bad for a no-star-power cast. Jennifer Beals held it together the best she could. The young son was so bad, it was painful to watch his performance. Totally predictable plot. Don't pay for this movie, find it free.

Entertaining because it's TERRIBLE

This movie was solely entertaining because the acting was so bad. If you want to feel good about your acting skills, watch this movie. I watch a lot of movies, and this movie is my worst nightmare. The whole movie is rising action, with suspenseful music for no reason. The music is even louder than the dialogue at some points and it is just a mess. Not 100% sure who directed it but it's horrible.

Maybe a 10??

The whole story is ridiculous.and the acting is awful. The scenes themselves are terrible because they make no sense. The main character has a huge presentation to do, she shows 3 picture and everyone loves it....Meeting over?? So bad we just couldn't turn away. We've rarely enjoyed laughing so hard at a movie.

Goofs
Before the spilt-wine scene, the casserole dish has no potholders; Liz serves the son first, then the daughter. After wine-spilt scene. No potholders for the casserole dish. Liz serves the son first, then the daughter. After the spilt-wine episode, the daughter never finishes drying herself off. Her son's plate has no food on it when they ask to go out after dinner and the dinner forks have not left the napkins.

Quotes
Liz: It was you who erased my files, not her. She wouldn't know how to do it. Oh my God. I can't believe this.
