The Good Father: The Martin MacNeill Story

Comes down to the director I think. Compelling story, good actors but just terrible result. Everything about it looks implausible even though it's based on a true stories.

This Lifetime movie is soo cheesy and bad in a good way. It has Tom Everett Scott from That Thing You Do and Charisma Capenter from Buffy. My millennial heart loves that.

I had binders of evidence for why this movie was terrible, but just as I was about to write it in this review, I realized that it was actually a very charming movie. It was as charming as Martin MacNeill! I am easily charmed by bad movies. 10 out of 10!

I watch a lot of movies, I love watching thriller/suspense & horror movies they're my forte. However, this movie here was easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It's a lifetime movie so I went in to the movie with mild expectations. The acting was awful and the actors lacked genuine emotion. The script was atrocious. The plot was excessive. I found myself getting bored and annoyed but stuck it through specifically so I could write this review.

Save yourself an hour and a half and watch anything but this. Just look up the actual case on YouTube you'll get more information and not have to suffer through third hand embarrassment from this cringy script and acting.

The acting and story line was so over the top. Does anyone know how to act anymore. It was painful to watch.

The only reason I made it through the movie was because it was based on a true story and I wanted to hear the ending.

Don't waste your time. It is time you will never get back.

What was disheartening was the actor that played the father at one time was a good actor. What happened

Lifetime needs to up there game and start hiring some men and women who can act. It is almost like the casting agents are hiring friends. I preferred sharknado to this time suck!

There was a time I used to enjoy lifetime movies. The actors were B rated but had some acting ability. The actress who played the daughter was completely flat the whole movie.

The only actor that had any acting ability was the one that died early in the move. The woman who played the nanny was also horrible.

Please up your game lifetime.
