The Wrong Stepmother

This is a lifetime movie so not much is expected. I've seen better lifetime movies than this though. It was almost comical even though it's a "thriller". I literally laughed out loud at some of the acting and scenarios. It was entertaining even if the plot was cliché.

I don't know where you got a four-point anything from these reviews the user reviews are basically one which is where I am unless I could've given it a zero the only thing I can think of is when I looked at the so-called critic reviews they were actually favorable I don't know maybe this is a lifetime thing but everything was just so so bad there was literally nothing redeemable in this at all Not the Acting not the plot not the scenery nothing!!

I mean, do we expect anything else with Lifetime movies? If you have selected to watch this title you should have a good idea of what you're getting yourself into.

The dialogue/ writing is thoroughly cliche from beginning to end The acting is cringey at best, *especially* the youngest daughter, but we give her a pass because she's cute and still young Lily and Maddie are watchable, especially with Maddie's dimples and baby blue eyes The best friend patrick looks like a wannabe boy band member who was dressed in his dad's old clothes, but, I guess that's the look now. Lastly, what kind of teenager has a room like that? it looks like it was furnished by goodwill in 2000's chic.

As far as the story goes, it delivers in that it entertained me for an hour or so on a sunday afternoon on the first snow of the season.

The first thing I notice are the lines in the script is not how people actually speak in real life. Especially the teenagers. Seems like someone in their 40s, who is disconnected from any current social circles, wrote the script. Now. I'm a big fan of Cindy Busby. So she is the saving grace in this for me. The acting is as good as any TV movie. Not terrible but not Hollywood either. It's just the terrible lines that kills it for me! You have been forewarned!

Cindy Busby kills so many people trying to get what she wants why are the dead bodies never found ?
