    If you treat it as a comedy, you'll enjoy it.

    This is a trash movie, but it's a good trash movie. It has all of the elements of a cheesy TV movie thriller, from the obviously manipulative villain to the ridiculously overboard teenage scheming, but the plot and acting aren't that bad. If you take it seriously, you won't enjoy it, but it's the perfect movie to watch when you can't decide between a comedy and a suspenseful movie.

    Best movie I have seen in a long time.

    Best movie I have seen in a long time. It has no blood and gore, but great story and plot. Very thrilling and dramatic with a possitive edge. Also gives purpose to meaning, always be aware of new people you bring into your childrens lives.

    This Netflix Movie is below Lifetime standard

    Netflix has some Lmn type psycho movies too. This one has a wacko boyfriend of an oblivious separated mom. Her daughter begins to suspect things aren't right. The cast is quite watchable. The story is as expected.

    Ok for one watch.

    It was so bad. I didn't even get 10 minutes through and I already knew it was going to be a cheesy movie. The trailer was decent, but gave the whole movie away. I thought the movie would be good based on the trailer, but obviously that was not the case. Should have looked at the reviews before I watched it. Do not recommend!!!!

    Decent late-night suspicion movie

    If you like suspense and having some scary moments, then The Sweetheart might be the late evening movie for you. There was no gore nor extreme violence-which fit me perfectly.

    This is a film with a teen lead, and I felt that the actress did a fine job portraying a teen whose family Life' has devolved into a broken home with Mom dating a younger, suspicious man.

    The movie was not perfect; it had some flaws. However, I liked it. It's a fun movie to see when you have a big tub of popcorn
