Wish they'd make these more believable

Not much of a spoiler in this review- Come on! Everyone knows that Lifetime movies are typically pretty far fetched BUT...it's completely possibly to stay in line with the "unbelievable" theme Lifetime movies bring to the table and still make them slightly more "realistic". If a high school girl was smart enough to be selected as the Valedictorian and graduate at the top of her class then surely she applied to several colleges and not just the one at the top of her list? Surely she didn't give up on going to college or a university all together bc she didn't get into ONE college she hoped to? Then she manages to get thru registration and triage at the hospital emergency room using a fake name. I guess they didn't ask for ID (or get a complete history) or maybe they just didn't show the part where she got the fake ID with her new identity? That's ok, lol, I can let that one slide but making a successful doctor look like a complete moron was also too much. As if she (or anyone) would really invite a foster kid (who admits no one wanted her) to live with her without checking any background or references and only knowing her for the time it took to examine her arm in the ER. That is too unrealistic even for a Lifetime movie. These movies are a guilty pleasure for many of us and we all know they aren't to be taken too seriously but it's like whoever is writing the script for some of these movies isn't even trying. Is it bc they feel like they don't have to since it's a Lifetime movie? Is it bc they lack imagination? Maybe it's just complete laziness. At least the acting wasn't as over-the-top and full of cheese as plenty of others I've seen. Go ahead and give it a whirl. I wouldn't say it's unwatchable, just unbelievable.
