Dr. Bobbie Adler (Wendy Anderson) does a radio talk show. She advises her clients Linda Stern (Charisma Carpenter), Cindy Hartford (Katya Gardner) and Meredith Glass (Krista Bridges) in group therapy to cheat to save their marriages. Bobbie tells them that she's cheating on her husband Robert with Paolo herself. Linda is unsure being married with a child. Meredith is a high-powered lawyer mother and convinced of the power of cheating. Cindy reveals that she has reconnected with her high school sweetheart Alex who dumped her. Linda starts cheating with Kyle. Bobbie is killed and Detective Rollins (Kate Trotter) investigates.

There is a depressed feeling about this movie. The tension is slow to build. The characters don't have much rooting interest. Steve DiMarco is mostly a TV director and that's the level of this Lifetime movie. Trotter is playing a ridiculously hard charging police detective. If there is a dial that max out at 10, she turns it all the way to 11. The tension gets better as the group disintegrates but it's a tired progression. This isn't sexy and it isn't a thrilling murder mystery either. There are some big reveals but they're not set up right early in the movie.

This should be the title of this awful film. Three stupid women take advice from another vain and stupid woman. To win your husband back, go out and have an affair. Great advice as it all ends up in murder. Won't give the ending away. Directed by Steve DiMarco who did an admirable job with the lack of talent he had and written by (now get this) a woman, Camilla Carr and a man, Kevin Commins. Most of the writing was nothing special, in fact at times downright blah. Ending was also terrible. The three women played by obviously non talented starlets of Hollywood who need the work by the names of Charisma Carpenter (don't be fooled by the name) who has as much looks and charm as a wax museum; Katya Gardner as a bleached blond bimbo who had the main job to go around in the film whimpering most of the time; and Krista Bridges the head bitch of them all always snarling and making guttural sounds (great acting?) Then we have Wendy Anderson who is the doctor giving all the advice as she plays around with sexual bondage on her off hours. Great example. The three poor husbands don't get much leverage as the losers. They are played by Tim Campbell, Andrew Kraulis and Jeff Pangman. The one redeeming factor is the performance of Kate Trotter as the detective on the job. She won't take crap from anyone, including the writers for that matter. She's fun to watch and worth the price of admission.

Another failed attempt at intrigue and mystery. Though the cast is strong enough to pull off this trite script, left in the hands of so called director dimarco, we are offered a poorly executed and rather boring piece of fluff. Had the director had any vision or panache this film would have fared better, but leave it to dimarco to hack his way through the script with absolutely no clue as to what he is doing.
