Deadly Girls Night Out

This movie was a complete waste of time. 3 best friends, Naomi, Willa, and Tia, go out to celebrate the holidays and Naomi turns up dead and it is ruled a suicide. Willa, doesn't believe it, though and she won't stop until she finds out who and why? Both answers come obvious right away. Skip it!

Going into it, I expected trash and I got trash, but in that trash, there were a few things that flickered and showed some promise. The writing, that is a few plot points and some of the dialogues were surprisingly very well done. But those are overall just flickering here and there and couldn't really help the movie itself. I guess the concept was given by the Lifetime channel executives and the writer built upon it. I hope they get chances to really write something worthwhile.

The story revolves around Willa, who returns to her hometown for the holidays after years. When she goes on a girls' night out with her high school friends Naomi and Tia, things go awry as Naomi is suddenly found dead. Police say it's suicide, but Willa thinks otherwise and cue a lot of creeping around the victim's house and investigating.

Starts out blandly but progressively improves with some suspenseful moments and some fine mystery, however I wasn't too keen on Willa - played by Gina Vitori - finding her not very likeable. The investigating bits was fun, and it's not a dull film, but it's the protagonist that lets it down.

I've had dreams that played out better than this movie! Nothing made sense throughout the movie and it still didn't come together at the end. I don't know if it was just poor editing or the poor acting, or a mixture of both.

I'm going to give this a five because it's not completely horrible. Sad how that is seen as a positive today, isn't it? Anyway... the story is ok. It's a Lifetime movie, though, so you know what you're getting going into it. Pretty much everything out of Lifetime is a cookie cutter chick flick.

The acting is not award winning, but it's not laughable. The lighting is good. I will admit I didn't see the ending coming, but I wan't that involved in the story, so...

I guess if you like the type of movies Lifetime puts out, you'll probably enjoy this. You already know whether that's you or not, so I don't think I need to say anything more.
