The Perfect One

A woman having a rough time after childbirth is befriended by a pretty divorced single mom and introduced to a group of new mothers. Things get quite complex with infidelity and murder. The climax is quite scary by Lifetime standards with some unexpected twists.

Helena Mattson is pretty as the wacko. Leah Pipes is suitably frazzled as the depressed new mother.

Some of the texts are hard to read.

More diverting than the usual wacko thriller.

This lifetime TV movie was an exciting thriller!! Pretty good twist towards the end

Nothing I'd watch again. The lead actress was overly dramatic. The movie was at some times corny. Typical Suburban Mom movie, I wish these movies would be better. It wasn't the worst, but you'd probably be better off watching something else.

There's really no story. The bulk of the film are scenes of a bunch of suburban baby moms and their boring suburban lives. I just couldn't relate as I waited for some kind of plot to unfold. I guess new mothers who sit home and watch Lifetime movies would love this. Not me.

After two minutes in the movie my wife told me that this was probably one of those Lifetime movies for stay-at-home moms and that's exactly what it was. Most of the time those are terrible movies, made with only one purpose, to kill time and to add background sound while doing your chores. It's always the same kind of lame movies. The first half is really slow, but it gets a bit better towards the end and that's why I gave it a five. There was some suspense so it was not all that bad. Don't expect award winning acting though.
