You Can Never Go Home Again

This movie was hilariously bad. Laughed out loud more times than I should have. There is a scene where the teacher gets out of the father's car and she noticeably hits her head on the door and they left it in the movie...my daughter and I couldn't stop laughing. The music is so bad, the plot is bad, the acting is bad..it's all awful. I have no clue why this movie went from being called "Teacher's Watching" to "You Can Never Go Home Again.." the second title doesn't even make sense. I have no idea who financially backs these awful Lifetime movies. If you want a good laugh and a movie to make fun of..this is it.

If you're looking for a fun and engaging thriller, grab a glass of something, sit back and enjoy because this film is a wild ride. I think as audiences, sometimes we forget that storytelling can give us an opportunity to escape and just have a good bit of fun, and "You Can Never Go Home Again" provides exactly that. I especially enjoyed Jackie Moore's performance, who is fantastic as Emma. I have been following Jackie's work over the years and I'm thrilled to see her starting to take on some of these darker roles. The rest of the cast is excellent too, the story is compelling and it leaves you waning more, which is everything you need for a fun night in at the movies. Highly recommend!

Truly a terrible movie. Others have said it better than I have so I'll note this instead: March 15th 2022 was an interesting day wasn't it... The only day that this movie had good reviews. 4 in fact. I wonder if it was the mom's of the main characters?

Apparently this review needs to be another 300 characters so I'll give this review more time than the movie is worth by saying that with a bottle of wine (definitely pick a 2 liter not a 750) you might be able to get through it. It's 50/50 but that should give you the best shot. I'll note that the main characters also use random wine bottles to get through this movie so it seems like the movie endorses this strategy as well!

Lifetime original thriller that plays out like Poison Ivy but with a teacher. It's passable I'm sure there's about a million of these Lifetime movies with this plot, but for what it is it does a decent job building suspense. There's some weird dubbing in some scenes and the lead female villain is a bit hammy. The final doesn't really live up nor work either though as is just sort of exposes the films short budget and just ends.

And I guess my review still isn't long enough for IMDB so here is some more nonsense to read. And I guess my review still isn't long enough for IMDB so here is some more nonsense to read.

"You Can Never Go Home Again" (2021)

It's truly shocking how awful this thing is - there are NO redeeming qualities whatsoever. I came here to write a review to warn off future viewers from it and saw that the review by 'hoops' said exactly what I intended to say, especially that it really did seem to be put together by a bunch of third graders and imdb really needs to add zero to the rating scale, etc. If I'd known this crap could actually be bought and produced by a TV network, I'd be a multi-millionaire by now since anyone with half a brain could churn out this rehashed bland talentless drivel.

The 10/10 reviewers here are obviously friends and relatives of the cast and/or producers/directors of this turkey, since any thinking adult could easily see how lame and boring it is, with terrible acting by all. The only credit I'll give it is that Jackie Moore can play a believable psycho, as she also did in a previous LMN-er as a psycho interior decorator. But her role was diminished by the poor, unoriginal storyline and overall mediocrity of the movie.

The background music was out of whack and seemed to be tacked on at the last minute.

Just unbearably dumb and a total waste of time.

Grade F / 1 out of 10.
