This ranks right in with the average Lifetime production- not particularly cheap, not particularly exceptional in any way. The high-level plot here is we have a woman that has inherited money, a large business, and a CEO position from her deceased parents, however, she is generally unhappy or depressed working through an apparent damaged marriage and feeling Under the Blade. The husband seems picture perfect, minus some glossed over past transgression, but he's Still Hungry to make things work. Soon she discovers she has an older sister when a woman that looks absolutely nothing like her shows up out of the blue to meet her and gives her a daughter a chance to Come Out and Play. This is making her happy to have family, but of course we are waiting for the Big Hits and Nasty Cuts. The plot mystifies a bit from here and there are some twists and turns... however when we get to the climax, it's a convoluted 5-10 second clumsy explanation of a motivation reveal. Seriously, Lifetime: We're Not Gonna Take It. Pros: Mena Suvari- although, she plays a vapid character in this one. Cons: The sister is a kick-in-the-groin miscast. Also, the mystery-man griefer scenes were flat out corny and should have been cut from the film completely.
