The Wrong Nanny – Review
The Wrong Nanny – LMN – 2 hours and 0 minutes
Blake finally got information on her biological mother Stella. Stella gave her up for adoption when she was born and Blake wants to see her. Blake discovers that Stella is looking for a nanny and applies for the position with fake references. When Blake gets the nanny position for Stella’s twin boys (Blake’s half-brothers), Blake keeps her identity a secret. She is happy playing the ‘god sent’ for Stella until she sees Stella acting as a mother to another teenage girl. When Blake facade cracks a cop will be down, children will be lost, and a shot will be taken.
Oh, this one is just too good. Watch it with the lights on and double check your nanny. You will jump and yelp doing certain parts of the movie. And watch until the end for an extra creepy moment. Any Lifetime movie that has a death within the first 2 minutes, has a great chance of being a watchable movie. And this one takes the cake. Seeing Blake go from sweet to ‘bat crap’ crazy is oddly satisfying. This is definitely one to watch, DVR, and keep.
I give it 5 out of 5 stars
Stella Armstrong’s not a stranger – Blake
This may sound crazy but do I know you from somewhere – Stella

- When will David snap
- How many will be killed
- Is this really the end
This movie really doesn’t break any ground on Lifetime. While an Oscar-worthy performance isn’t required, it needs a good script in order to create a good movie. The script was subpar and the actors did their best. This movie can be skipped.
I give it 2 out of 5 stars
Why are you mad babe – Kate
You’re right. I’m sorry. You married a jerk – Eric
It’s a hella nice family you go there, man. You got it all – David

Fatherly Obsession – Review
Fatherly Obsession – LMN – 2 hours and 0 minutes
Alyssa has moved into her new apartment and the superintendent Robert his happy to help with all her needs. She starts to make friends in the building, working on her comedy routine, and even meets a guy. Everything is going well but she starts to get strange text messages and Robert has entered her home without her consent. Being a past stalking victim, Alyssa puts Robert on notice about her issues with privacy. He apologizes and smoothes things over, she accepts his apology. As the days go on, Alyssa learns Robert has been telling a lot of lies and she cuts him off. But when her friend says it was a misunderstanding, Alyssa agrees to meet with Robert. This is the worst mistake she will ever make.
Super creepy is the only way to describe this movie. Seeing that Robert’s infatuation with Alyssa isn’t sexual but fatherly is extremely unnerving. But it does shine a light on different forms of stalking. Some forms of stalking have little to no sexual component. Also, this movie kicks it up a notch by using virtual reality glasses. All movies have shown the killer looking at a monitor to stalk their victims but with the VR Glasses Robert can sit down next to her on the couch. It is just the right touch of creepy to make this movie exciting.
I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars
Don’t worried I would never go into your bedroom – Robert
Oh, that’s exactly what I’m gonna do – Helen
I thought we were taking it slow – Oliver
Would you like me to throw a drink in your face to make this completely ironic – Alyssa

Based on the novel When Calls the Heart by Janette Oke, this movie is a great start to the new season. And you don’t have to be a “Heatie” to watch. You learn enough about each character to get you invested and watch the regular program. The standout is definitely Rosemary. She is a flower in a hurricane; beautiful and strong. But when her husband takes off time from the mill for the holidays, she meets her match. Watch this movie with the whole family.

#KillerAssistant – Review

Because of her issues, Suzanne’s boss, Nora, decides to hire an assistant for her. David, Suzanne’s new assistant, seems to good to be true and others around the office can see it.

Realizing her mistake, Suzanne offers to transfer David to another department, but he threatens to expose her. It’s not long before everything in Suzanne’s life starts to fall apart. How will she handle it? Can she handle it? Why is this happening?
This movie is not impressive. “Lifetimers” will see the typical plot twist and story lines a mile away. Brando Eaton does do an amazing job being creepy. He is very enjoyable to watch. Don’t be surprised if he is in another Lifetime movie soon. This movie is the typical background noise movie. Leave the wine sealed.
I give this 2 out of 5 stars
Fine, I don’t have to be in this house to see him – Calista
Remind me how I went this long without an assistant – Suzanne
And sex – David
