Director: Stefan Pleszczynski
Working Time: 89 minutes
Synopsis: In Connecticut, thirtysomething Celia’s homicide is staged as an obvious suicide, surprising her friends-since-high-school. Gown designer Maggie (Julie Benz) is the one group member who refuses to imagine the official reason for dying. She begins to analyze and hyperlinks Celia’s demise to a number of different latest suspicious deaths, together with Maggie’s personal husband. Maggie additionally finds time to rekindle a romance with old flame Harry (Chris Kramer). In the meantime, Susan (Venus Terzo) is one other member of the group, and she or he is busy serving to her husband’s election marketing campaign.
What Works Effectively: The romance scenes between Maggie and Harry generate some warmth, and the incompetent token police detective who refuses to analyze an epidemic of suspicious deaths in his small toney center class neighborhood approaches so-awful-he’s-almost-funny ranges.
What Does Not Work As Effectively: This Lifetime manufacturing lives properly inside its finances, and by no means threatens to rise above the worst definitions of plastic mediocrity. The inane plot, witless writing, and cringey appearing are strictly confined to first draft, one take requirements, and the “thriller” is well solvable as a result of no different options are even remotely hinted at. What stays is an excruciating journey by means of talent-free terrain to reach at a foregone conclusion.
Key Quote:
Maggie: You realize, it took Celia’s dying to make me understand how joyful I’m to have you ever all in my life.
