Mommy's Secret

Mind boggling that we have such movies being produced in 2016

The secret that is. So you may know Charisma Carpenter from her role in the Buffy TV show. She grew up - well she matured. She can't play a teenager anymore obviously and unfortunately probably only gets weird roles likes this one more often than not. She was a side character in one of the Expandables movies. But other than that, you probably didn't see her in much.

And I would suggest that you shouldn't watch her in this either. Not really worth your time (even if you consider one "twist" towards the end). Weak script, drama of the week, overall rather generic and weak in the dialog department. I won't judge the actors by one performance, but one thing is for sure, this isn't their best work (I know for sure when it comes to Charisma and I hope the same to be true for the others)

This was a terrible movie: the story line was unbelievable, the acting was stiff & unbelievable! The mother's and daughter's acting was really bad! There was no real emotion! If a mother found out her son was gambling and in deep debt, there's no way she would smile and softly say it's going to be okay! There would be screaming and threat of consequences and getting professional help for him. It was like the daughter was sleep walking throughout and when she was bound & gagged----it was actually laughable! It might have been better with better casting and actors that could actually act!

And that's about it... Sort of.

Duration: 1h 25m

What is this television movie about?:

It's about a good in the face mom who easily robs banks to pay off her son's debt.

Yeah Michael, Franklin, and Trevor could have used her.

The story and the production overview:

If you ignore the awful lying acting from the hot mom and enjoy her and the daughters face for some eye sweets then this movie isn't so bad.

The story is there. But the acting sort of hurts the film.

Overall I'd say it's an Okay film for what it is.

Highlight:

Eye candy.

Moral:

Gambling is a trap.

Rating:

It's ok.

Final words:

If GTA 5 homies had this mom on their team that would be so awesome...

As I write this I am laid up with a broken ankle. Otherwise I would have found something better to do. LOL The premise although a bit odd and unbelievable had potential. The dialogue was poorly written which probably hampered the mediocre actors.

The real reason I bothered with a review was the moms disguise, dressed up like a man while wearing full make up!?! Another reviewer pointed this out but I had to chime in.

I am tired of seeing women with eye shadow, false eyelashes, lipstick etc in situations that make absolutely no sense. I have even heard characters say I look terrible without make-up while the actor is clearly wearing make-up. Can we stop setting a 'standard' of beauty for women that makes no sense. A 'standard' of beauty that must be kept even when dressing up as a man! 😂
