    Quite good, really!

    Based on a true story. Small-town girl Erin gets a marriage proposal from Marine Corporal Jon Corwyn and she gets hitched in Las Vegas and moves on to the base with the other marines and their families. Things start out fine until she meets Chris Lee who is already married with a kid. Erin has an affair and ends up pregnant with his child. 3 weeks later she turns up missing. You'll have to tune in to see what happened and I highly recommend it! Sadie Calvano does a great job as Erin supported by a Canadian cast in this exceptional Lifetime movie!

    One of the better "Lifetime" movies

    I actually had no idea this was based on true events until the ending credits. Had it not been, then it wouldn't be anything close to creative writing for this genre, as it was very predictable. But the fact it is based on real events, you'll tend to cut the story some slack, and have sympathy for those who needed it.

    The directing and cinematography was decent, and the acting for the most part convincing. The 84 min runtime was decent with the adequate pacing. I just wish Lifetime would tone down the constant and overbearing typical "Lifetime-style" background music. Nevertheless, an enjoyable one-time watch.

    True Story, okay movie, but a little off.

    This is based on a true story. I live in the town where it happened. They did not depict marines accurately. She was not killed in Joshua Tree National Park, but in the desert east of 29 Palms. They did not film in the desert and it was obvious it was not our area. The acting was ok.

    To think about.

    Unfortunately, a disturbing subject that few will describe as Dull... But, in fact a reality that needs to be on screen.

    Excellent Lifetime movie!!

    From time to time I watch Lifetime movies with my wife. I always ask her the same question. How do these people afford these 5 million dollar mansions.

    The Movie " Secrets of a Marine's Wife " was different.

    I normally don't write reviews but these is an excellent film for a young couple to watch. It will teach you that jumping into marriage could be a big mistake. The young girl Erin gets married in Vegas at 18 years old. Her and her husband move to a little community and she soon realizes that being married is not all she thought it would be. As an 18 year old would do she has feelings for another guy and she acts on them.

    What I thought was great about this movie was the way Erin couldn't quite comprehend that was was doing anything wrong. She was a teenager that was crushing on another man. This is all fine if you are not married. As this mini affair progresses you can see that nothing good will come of it. A lot of people will be hurt.

    I won't say anymore but I will highly recommend this movie. As I mentioned earlier, anyone young looking to rush into marriage, give this a watch. You may want to re-think it!!!
