Caught

Sociopaths abound in this nasty little story from Wifetime. Allie, a vulnerable teenager who is trying to help her single mother make ends meet by waiting tables after school. She meets Justin who takes advantage of her by starting an affair with her. He doesn't tell her he is married. Meanwhile, his insane wife Sabrina finds out about it and, with the help of younger sister Paige, kidnaps Allie to "teach her a lesson" as a prank. The prank, of course, soon gets out of hand.

As a mystery or soap opera, the movie is a tremendous failure. As a black comedy, it has a terrific, Coen brothers feel.

The adults are all either monsters or idiots. Allie's mom finds her teenage daughter making out with a man twenty years her senior in a supply closet, and thinks she's handled it by talking to her for five minutes. She doesn't think about calling the police. Only at the urging of a teenage boy does it occur to her to involve law enforcement in looking for her daughter. Unfortunately, the policeman she asks is as much of an idiot as she is.

Justin, the man who caused the mess, has the morals of a snake. He is obviously married to his wife for money. He is ready to dump Allie as soon as he realizes there are consequences, and abandons her to his wife, knowing she will kill her.

Paige, Sabrina's sister, is manipulated by her at every turn. She wants to do the right thing (as she's Allie) but is constantly used by her.

The star sociopath here is Sabrina, played by Anna Camp. She is every mean sorority girl, every snide man stealer and every desperate housewife in one character. She is the perfect, shrill, self-centered monster to be married to a worm like. Justin. Neither are very smart, but both are ruthless predators.

The fun of the movie isn't being scared or anxious. It is hate watching awful people engaged in an increasingly unbelievable comedy of errors, and hoping someone shows up to rescue the innocent victims.

I enjoyed it in spite of myself.

Good flick with flaws. As expected. Enjoyed the second half a lot, so if you stick with it you'll see some good acting and tension.

Co-stars that appear in several scenes include the same roll of duct tape, the same butcher knife, and a pair of white nerd socks worn by Little Sister (the prop department must have been short of materials). Where is the product placement for the toothpaste that created those pearly whites for Sabrina? And would a cop who comes upon a kidnapping in progress turn his back on the other perpetrator? Not likely. Still, "Caught" is mildly entertaining. I give it a 6 out of 10.

Don't waste your money on this drivel. A terrible silly and stupid script matched with such bad acting it makes you sick. The jealous housewife who is the instigator in the whole thing gives you reason why the hubby strayed. She is a nutcase. There was a scene when she is testing out a grave she was digging and I just wanted to cover her up hoping it was all over. And the hubby is just as bad letting his crazy wife kill people and standing around like he's retarded. Absolutely no balls. Hard to believe how he ever could attract the young girl at all. Then there is the sister who has no nerves at all and she continues to hang around when she keeps saying they are doing the wrong thing. And there you have it. So, can you blame me for finding this movie so stupid and the characters just as empty headed to match.

One housewife gets all her close friends to commit murder.... not believable as well as the victim had numerous chances to get away and even kill the housewife but didn't. Don't waste your time
