    Better than expected

    5.5 / 10.

    The plot was interesting and not as predictable as I expected.

    Look.

    A very generous '2'

    The production values in this film are almost at a high school level. Pay attention to the detectives' 'office'. It's obviously an empty room with a few card tables and a computer. There's even a lone large target on a wall to make it look 'official'. Ditto the bar which is probably a nearby motel's watering hole. There's awful stuff like this all over the movie. I swear the final scene was shot on a high school auditorium stage. It was laughable. And the plot? Ridiculous. The reactions to revelations? There are none. Here's an example, the wife of the missing person goes to the high school where he works. The principal informs her that her husband didn't show up for work and that the principal just assumed that he was too ill to come in. After the wife says that her husband was feeling fine the principal says, 'tell him we hope he's feeling better real soon.' There's nonsense like that all through this thing. Some of the acting is so bad that you'll think it's intentional. The junior DA and the school janitor are particularly awful.

    So, why not a '1'? Because the lead actress has stunning eyes. And that's all this bomb has going for it.

    oh my!

    "I don´t know"? "I love you to"! drinking white wine in the kitchen, with the best friend x 100 a child who always sleep and don´t know anything, about whats going on. Breathe a lot every time they have said a phrase(over dramatic). Breathe in their cups and glasses when they end their sentence. The movie will give a morale, eventually (nonsense): "you have a meaning until you get a new one". Annoying bad played movie. "Presumed crap"!

    A plot hole you could drive a truck through

    Boy those writers of Lifetime movies have cushy jobs - just slam some script together based on one of about six themes, don't read it over, and there you have it.

    Okay, in this one, Marriage of Lies, granted, I didn't see the first few minutes. But here's what happened: Rachel, the wife (April Bowlby) of a teacher, Tye (Brody Hutzler) goes to the school where he teaches and asks to speak to him. She finds out he didn't come in. She leaves. She figures he needs some space as she did at one point during their marriage.

    Her best friend insists that she call the police the next day. The wife tells the police that she saw him in the morning two days ago and he was on his way to school. The detective asks, how does he get to school? She answers, he takes his bike. We only have the one car.

    The detective walks into the man cave and says, is this the bike he rides to school? Yes, she says. So obviously he never rode the bike to school even though she went to school looking for him and told the detective that the last time she saw him, he was on his way to school.

    Since that happened in the beginning, it bothered me throughout the whole episode as I sat waiting for the detective to pick up on it. But then, this isn't Columbo.

    Of course, Rachel comes under suspicion, particularly by the junior detective (Zachary Garred) who is sure she is involved in her husband's disappearance.

    There is no mistaking April Bowlby's voice or enunciation. She is stunning as a brunette. She plays a woman on antidepressants (which the police feel is the sign of a raving maniac) who is attempting to stay calm and measured, which is interpreted as unconcerned.

    The acting is okay here - Zach Garred is Australian and pulls off an American accent very well. This cast is a bit above the usual, also including Corin Nemec, Jimmy Deshler, and Eric Scott Woods.

    All in all, typical Lifetime fare with a major plot hole.

    Ugh

    Yet another ridiculous LMN movie with terrible writing and terrible acting. Leading lady is so bland she put me to sleep. A plain Jane look to her with blank expressions the usual long straight boring hair. Usually wearing jeans. No color to her look or personality. Where do they get these drama drolls? However, it was the plot that was the culprit in this not so tense melodrama. No names here, not worth the time. Probably a better radio program soap drama. You don't have to look at the actors. All about a disappearing husband and wifey is accused of murdering him. So we spend most of the movie listening to her say she's innocent. But nobody really cares. Including this viewer. Her acting left me cold and I didn't really care what happens to her. Will not reveal plot ending. I am going to force you to watch this like I was.
