The Wrong House

Being the lifetime movie buff that i am, I had to come here and review this movie. I wanted to like it but just couldn't. The acting was so bad, almost embarrassing. So many things could have been said or done differently to make this a decent movie. This movie has potential but failed to deliver. One of the worst lifetime movies I've seen.

My husband's cheating but I'll still do a gym class. Is this wife a total moron. God the acting was beyond bad and the script...blah.

My lemonade stand 😭

Really!!!!! is this based off a true story seriously, wow SMH does the wife not watch lifetime to know that things like this happen in real life wow, He should have left her and took the daughter, if the chips are down she's never going to have his back. I love the husband in all movies he is awesome!. Lifetime... really do better please. These women were all dumbbbbbbbb

A handsome man, with a neatly trimmed beard, lurks around a house in the darkness. He seems to be attempting to break into the house, but he is interrupted by a phone call. Inside the house, we briefly see a dark figure creeping across the screen. This opening never really fits the rest of the story, although you could rationalize it with a line or two. "Inspired by a true story," the TV movie settles into place after the credits. The handsome man with the neatly trimmed beard is Tilky Jones (as Brian Lassiter). He moves into what looks like a dream house, with his attractive wife Clare Kramer (as Rebecca) and their adorable lemonade-selling pre-teen daughter Ashlyn Jade Lopez (as Maddy). Alas, a title like "The Wrong House" shouts trouble ahead...

This is competently guided by Sam Irvin and his crew. The direction is steady, holds interest, and we accept Mr. Irvin's putting women on counter-tops as a stylistic touch. The location and a supporting cast of instantly too-friendly neighbors give it a suitably phony atmosphere. Others in the cast include fitness trainer Allison McAtee (as Kathleen Strickland) and former "Melrose Place" mainstay Thomas Calabro (as Carter)...

What ruins the supposedly "true" story is the half-time decision by a major character to separate from her husband. Given the many incidents preceding the discovery of strange underwear in her bed, her decision is inexplicable. Since the character is presented as sane and intelligent, she should never be given a second chance. "The Wrong House" never addresses this character's sudden lack of cognition.

I'll fully admit that LMN movies are written with the mentality just shading Harlequin romance novels, but does Lifetime really believe their viewership is that dumb? Who writes a character as dumb as the wife? She sees all these weird things happening to them, hears the detective say that the weird happenings are set up with burner phones, and then she flips out like a psychotic, menstruating beast after finding underwear in the bed?

The husband should have had lines written for his character at that moment telling her that she needed to get the hell out, and that she would have nothing in the divorce settlement. Worst LMN movie ever written, and that's saying plenty. (ps. my husband says worst LMN ever (even tho we enjoy them), but this really does take the cake)
