A not too bad Lifetime movie about a snooty, upper class mother who doesn't think her son in law is good enough for her little girl, so naturally, she decides to correct the situation by "getting rid" of him. Joanna Kerns was really good as Celeste, prancing along with a smile on her face as she pulled all her stunts to break up the marriage.
Without giving away too much, one of my favorite exchanges in this movie was:
"So, you ever met a cop?
"No, I don't believe so"
"You have now!"
