Storyline

To the outside world, Kathy is the very picture of a happy and fulfilled modern woman. She has a beautiful baby boy, a clever, handsome husband and a glamorous, high-powered job. But not everybody is fooled. Her employee, Hannah, knows the truth: the cracks in Kathy's marriage, her self-doubt, her fear of failure at work. Hannah is perfectly placed to destroy Kathy's life. And if she succeeds, she can claim the one thing she wants most.

Goofs

Near the beginning of the movie, when Mark and Kathy are talking in the morning about Kathy not wanting to start her first day back to work being two hours late because Fran couldn't get there yet and Mark had to go to work, their conversation is done with two camera angles back and forth - facing Mark and facing Kathy. Kathy is holding the baby and standing about 10 feet away from Mark. When the camera is facing Kathy, the baby is sound asleep against her chest, but when it's facing Mark, looking at him from Kathy's angle, the baby's face is just above her left shoulder with his eyes wide open. So as the camera angles change back and forth, the baby is asleep, then awake, then asleep, then awake, etc.

User Reviews

Crazy Ex thriller with a British cast

A woman returns from maternity leave and find her temp has usurped her. There is a reason why her wacko temp is there.

One unusual thing is this is a Lifetime thriller with a mostly British cast acting as Americans. No wonder everyone is a bit paler. But don't expect RADA quality acting. It's done alright production quality wise and the story is okay as a moderately diverting thriller but not too different from this kind of thriller.
