    Misleading Movie Title

    I have no idea why this movie is titled "You Can Never Go Home Again". This movie has absolutely nothing to do with going home, being at home, staying home or anything home related. Unless you count the fact that they just moved into the home. I also have no ideal why they have the child abandoned on a playground on the cover. The situation between Jack and Emma could have been resolved a lot sooner had he went no contact and reported Emma from the start. This was a horrible movie where there is no plot. And when motives are finally revealed, there still is no plot! The acting is pretty good by Jack, his parents and Jack's co-worker but everybody else (insert side eye meme). I gave this move 3 stars because I did laugh out loud quite a few times. Other than that, this is a complete waste of time. I want better for Omar Gooding.

    Loved 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!

    Overall terrible

    This has to be one of the worst movies on lifetime that I have seen in awhile, from the acting, the plot and the actors especially the male lead why would this woman be so obsessed with this man you can't even take him seriously! Please lifetime do better because that was two hours of my life I can never get back.

    you can never get your time back

    What happened to the once cheesy but fun Lifetime? They seem to churn out movie after movie now that r just hideous quality, absurdly so?! The acting to the stories aren't fun and r plain stupid with adults acting less adult than teenagers would IRL. I get leaning into cheesy but you still need a story pple want to watch.

    Decent but hammy Lifetime original thriller.

    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.
