Secret Life of a Sorority Girl

The Secret Life of a Sorority Girl is Lifetime's most recent movie. It just premiered this last weekend.

Sorority Girl, Ashley dances at a gentleman's club multiple evenings a week to pay for her college tuition when she loses her scholarship. For the most part, Ashley has been able to hide what she's been doing from her boyfriend Beckett and her mother Cheryl.

After a fight with her boyfriend and her mother, Ashley goes missing. At first her mother suspects her boyfriend Beckett of doing something to her. Once Cheryl learns that her daughter has been working at club, she decides to investigate. Cheryl goes undercover at the club to try and find out what happened to her daughter.

As someone who doesn't typically watch Lifetime movies, I enjoyed this. Indie "Scream Queen" Jessa Flux makes an uncredited appearance about half way through the film in one of the club scenes. This was the reason that I watched this. Before to look her up and checkout some of her films!

These Lifetime made-for-TV movies with their straight-to-the-point titles are definitely a guilty pleasure. You know they're not that going to have a great script, star actors and actresses who you've never, ever heard of, but somehow they are compelling.

"Secret Life of a Sorority Girl" was a pretty good one, at least in comparison to other Lifetime dreck.

I liked the fact that there were a couple of options for who the bad guy was and you don't find out until near the end.

The suspense wasn't bad, the acting wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, the establishing shots of fall in Kentucky were quite spectacular, and the plot twist was - shock horror! - actually a good one.
