I was excited, I've been seeing Erica in a lot of Tubi films and Tubi has some gems but this one in particular they could've made this movie a hit but the director needed to be switched out bc the skill was not there the element of surprise was not there the actors seems forced everything was over dramatic. I wish they'd redo it because it wasn't even low budget it would've been good had they had some better direction. The script should've corresponded more with the element and plot. It's like one of those movies where the person probably had a vision but wasn't able to capture it properly. The storyline was good but overall the movie just got annoying to watch.

Bad directing, acting, dialogue, script
marilynmw25 March 2024
Beautiful cast of characters but this is an hour & 30 something minutes of my life I'll never have back. Honestly I don't think I've ever seen a worse movie & I've seen some pretty bad ones.
The acting is lousy. In my opinion, none of the actors were up to par, not just the main character.
This storyline has potential if it had the right directing & script. A director that had some major films under their belt perhaps could pull a better performance out of these actors.
I can only give this one a 4 rating & that's being generous on my part because I hated this movie.
I, by no means, am a critic but I know a bad movie when I've seen one & this is definitely a bad movie.

Erica Mena cant act
daviddelamancha19 July 2023
I love Tubi. Its become my favorite app for movies and shows. They carry Southland, Kubric movies & so many random independent movies that are great. I decided to give the movies they're producing a try. Made some popcorn, sat on the couch and put on Picture Me Dead. Well picture me disappointed. The story is promising and the cast is beautiful, but this is where it ends. Erica Mena is painfully terrible as an actress as well as her sister, the sisters husband & a few others. How did the director not stop filming? If you still want to see it just put it on and clean the house so all you have to do is hear it. Ill try another Tubi production cuz its a great app but this one is a dud.
Another one in the CSverse
ryleilove23 July 2023
And another one added to the Chris Stokes Universe. Idk why I keep getting trapped. Maybe because regardless, I grew up loving the productions of his Universe...I was a little too young for the Marques Houston and group era (can't even think of the groups name...smh because I loved seeing them perform on Sister Sister) but B2K ....yes yes yes. Through the drama, I still stayed and am still here, ha.
So, I give this a 3 because I respect that they (Chris and Marques) are still working, still hanging tight and getting to the bag. However, watching Erica Mena, I wonder if she's serious when she's acting or if it's a joke for her. She is TERRIBLE. It's like confirmation that Love and Hip Hop was scripted because I feel as if I'm watching the same Erica from the show just in the CSverse. I don't think I can take it anymore. I suffered through the Stepmoms but couldn't even finish the third because while she was bad in the first two, they were still ingestible (maybe not digestible but it got in there). The third one I couldn't even swallow - I'm sure you get the reference. Then I suffered through that plane movie with the dad and daughter. But the third stepmom I mean, were they serious? That's a real question. I made it through this movie but often found myself cracking up at Erica's acting. Rounding her mouth when she yelled, sounding like she's reading right from the script, those terrible facial expressions. I have to say I respect her getting to her bag too but child, maybe find another avenue because acting just ain't it.

Erica Mena needs help
rossini-186827 August 2023
Erica Mena is going to have to be rescued from this bad directing or else. The woman has some serious dramatic potential. When those ears of hers are covered and that hair frames her face properly, she is dangerously beautiful to look at. And yes, in many flashes, one can see that she can act. A little. But the producing and the directing just can't pull it out and sustain it. If this same cast, this same story, had been done by a production crew like the one that has kept Law and Order SVU on the air for 20 years, we'd be having a different conversation about Erica Mena's career. This might be her last chance, but I hope not because the woman is sexy as Hell.
Picture me disappointed
loureannl29 October 2023
This movie was just plain awful, the acting was way too scripted and it was extremely obvious. Watching this movie was like a bad accident, it was hard to turn away. I kept wishing it got better but Erica Mena was not a very good fit for this movie at all. It's obvious she was picked to get viewers-very similar to most Jennifer Lope movies (awful). She did very well on Stepmother 1, 2 and 3 playing a psychopath but this movie was just not it. There were parts that were not realistic at all and a lot of over dramatic acting. I don't think this would've made it on LifeTime television for women. Don't waste your time.
Slow down on production

Warning: Spoilers
For the most part, I've enjoyed Chris Stokes productions but they seem to be getting worse and worse. I actually like Erica Mena as an actress so of course I wanted to see what this movie has to offer.
It offered nothing. It's one of those movies where you turn it on, lay in the bed and get on your phone while it plays in the background.
The plot has potential but the acting was sub par at best. It just seemed to drag out. I might need to watch it again because I still don't understand how his mothers murder led to him being a murderer.
Chris stokes might need to take a break from producing because his movies are becoming lack luster. All he's doing is rearranging casting from his different films. I'd like to see some fresh faces and better acting.

Picture Me Disappointed
laureennyambura18 September 2023
I don't know what to say except picture me disappointed. To an extent I loved the story line. Erica's acting was so terrible I had to ask a third party whether I was making a biased conclusion. Her stance, facial expression, voice, and posture are just off. I know she is famous but couldn't the director give the role to a deserving actress. Each scene with her is a knife to my love of movies. Sadly I was just 20 mins in and I decided to write a review and prepare everyone for the botched acting portrayed. I feel like the decision to cast Erica ruined all efforts put into the film. On a positive note most of the actors were great especially the girl very beautiful and fluent in acting. Anyway I hope Tubi does not cast Erica in another film, maybe smaller roles or reality shows.
