The Good Mistress (2014)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

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.

While coping with the events following a car accident caused by her, recovering alcoholic Heise moves to Shelter Hills to rekindle with longtime friend Anderson, who has offered her a position at a firm. Things appears to be patching up nicely, especially when she meets dreamboat Cupo at the grocery store parking lot. Not only does he turn out to be a candidate in the county elections, he is also turns her friend's husband… oh, yeah, and a suspect in a murder investigation. Does a pretty decent job with the twists and turns, and the acting is better than most Lifetime Movies. Like of lot of these types, there is an overload on characters for the mere purpose of having lots suspects, a crutch to distract us from piecing things together too easily. Definitely worth the watch if you are completely bored or have a taste for cheap TV-movies.**½ (out of four)

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.

This movie totally sucked and there was no plot. there was a bad acting job. where did they come up with the storyline? the storyline was totally awful, and the wife committed all the crimes? Who would believe that? and who would make the husband the fall guy for all of the problems? That is just totally awful. To make everyone believe that you didn't know anything and that you act like nothing is wrong when in reality you know about your own husband's affairs. No wife would ever do anything terrible such as this. Save your time and don't watch this movie, this is a bunch of crap. This movie should not even be put on DVD, and if you thought safe haven was so bad this is worse than Safe Haven. this so cliché, the same storyline over and over? oh get a new theme people, like the wife don't know anything? get a new storyline people.
