another Lifetime movie

Housewife Paige Johnson (Katy Breier) has a boy and is concerned about the changes in her husband Michael Johnson (Jon McLaren) especially after inviting her troubled pregnant best friend Joslyn (Leah Jane McKenney) to stay with them since Joslyn has nowhere else to go.This is a Lifetime movie. It is what it is. It is another Lifetime movie with another toxic guy. Jon McLaren is doing some overacting. It does take some interesting if somewhat unlikely turns. This needs to set up Joslyn more. All the setups are a little thin. There are little holes where things are not explained. I wouldn't call them plot holes as much as plot skips. It's Lifetime.

One dimensional characters,

The best thing about this movie was the location towards the end Can they start making movies where the man has a better outcome. The characters had no reasoning, no background. It just seemed like a vehicle for women being victimised. I am female and it would be nice to see male and female characters make sense and not just make the man the bad guy. Not all women are goody goody. She was a stay at home mom and her husband was providing for everyone, and they were in debt! It would have made more sense to develop that instead of making him 'the monster'.On a good note, the scenery was beautiful.

Pretty awful

I sat through this movie for an hour and it was painful to watch. I was channel surfing and ended up on the Lifetime channel. At the beginning I was curious. The husband character made a point of discussing a birthmark he shared with his son during a cookout. The wife's best friend also in attendance was pregnant. So I was suspicious and within the first 10 minutes I guessed the dark secret. The rest of the time I watched, the movie just got worse.There were so many things wrong with it. I didn't like ANY of the characters. The husband who I liked in other movies was a lying and violent jerk. The wife was just plain stupid and reckless. The wife's best friend was helpless and clueless. The wife's mom was bizarre. The cop, bartender, pawn guy, motel guy and so on - all same. It seemed like it was just a bunch of people parroting lines with no connection to their characters.Anywho I surfed to another channel and returned for the final predictable scene. Nothing to see here. Bad acting bad script bad movie.Three stars cuz the baby was cute ?
