The Good Mistress (2014)

Highly Overrated But Still Good

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I agree the storyline is much over done, movies with similar story lines but these movies would not be successful ifs its not hitting home base, truth is this happens so often in reality and i'm sure alot of times women wish they could be like Karen. I thought the acting was pretty good, kept me at my screen not wondering off to the fridge like i usually do.

This was pitiful. A suspense thriller riddled with bad acting, bad script, unbelievable scenarios and an over-the-top climax. Sandy, a woman haunted by her tragic past and lingering demons moves to a new town where she runs into and old friend who helps her get back on her feet by finding her a job and a good place to stay. She (Sandy) meets a mysterious man with whom she has a brief but intense relationship and soon after finds out that this man is actually her friend Karen's husband. Things in town begin to go awry when another woman linked to Karen's husband turns up dead and Sandy begins to suspect that her ex-lover might be a serial killer. The film's only saving grace is its attractive cast and maybe the fact that it was a made-for-television fête which hopefully kept the budget low.

Plenty of excitement here with a totally shocking unexpected ending. You will be amazed here when you discover who commits the murders. Just goes to show you that all wayward people in their marriages can't be necessarily suspected when foul play occurs.A young lady in college loses her parents while talking to them on the phone via an auto accident. This sets her in a downward spiral and she receives probation for driving drunk and hitting a youngster, not fatally, while he was on a bicycle. She reunites with an old friend and moves to the latter's town.Before she can meet the friend's husband, go know that he would turn up in a local supermarket looking for action. He comes on nicely but when he finds out who she is after their one-night stand, he threatens reprisal.With the murders and mayhem occurring, everything points to the guy, an aspiring politician as the culprit, but as I stated, we were in for quite a surprise.Well-done, interesting story.

This is an utterly undistinguished Lifetime movie, the same one you've seen many many times if you watch Lifetime. The actors are uninteresting, the direction is pedestrian and the writing is bland and amateurish. This movie could be the template from which all Lifetime movies are made. The relatively high rating is almost certainly due to one or both of two things: either some reviewers were associated with the production, and/or some were impressed with the twist which was truly unexpected. The question is: was the movie good enough to make the twist worth watching the film? I say NO. You will find the film tedious in the extreme, you will not expect the ending, and you will still regret having watched this howler.
