Stranger at the Door

This paint by numbers made for TV melodrama is exactly what you'd expect of its ilk. The kind of thing they play wall to wall on the Lifetime channel, where men are all b*stards and women are all victims.

This particular tale tells the story of a woman whose son she gave up for adoption when she was young comes knocking on her door. But is he everything he claims to be? You'll know everything that's going to happen 30 minutes before they do. Thankfully the cast are competent and make the best of the limited material they have been presented with.

A harmless 30 minutes but don't expect any surprises.

The Good:

Decent cast

The Bad:

Rather bland

Highly predictable

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

It's perfectly rational to allow someone to move in with you without doing any research on their background at all
