I opened an IMDb account just to review this horrible movie.
Ahhh, where to begin? Yes, Lifetime movies, as a whole, are horrible but they're fun to laugh at. In fact, my daughters and I do it frequently.
But THIS one. Ugh. First, the 'actors' playing the mother and sister are TERRIBLE. They.just.read.their.lines.in.a.monotone.voice. and then the sister sneers often to show how 'tough' she is. Yikes.
But the funniest part - out of all the ridiculous trope they trotted out...the 'distant' father, the well-meaning newcomer, the oblivious mother....is the fact the ENTIRE movie takes place in the - wildly under lit - house because there is a HUGE SNOWSTORM outside. Everyone is snowed in!!!! Nobody can make the big birthday party!!! Except, curiously, when the outside shots are shown, there is no snow on the porch, about 1/2 inch of snow on the car and the GRASS is poking through the snow in the front yard. Come ON, that's just laziness. Come up with another plot point if the weather isn't cooperating.
The ending, although ENTIRELY predictably is laughingly bad. Just bad, bad.
This movie isn't even worth taking the time to laugh along with....it's simply horrid.
