topix-761-664161 Spoilers ahead:Do people in L.A. leave their doors unlocked all the time? I lost count of how many times "Alan" or Mark walked into the house through an unlocked door without knocking, and then, of course, Ricki walked into the attic apartment without bothering to knock.Ricki was too smart (and the actress who played her was obviously NOT 17) to be so stupid as to see Alan lurking outside and instead of telling her aunt, walking out whispering that she'd help him, only to be kidnapped. I was a college professor at 32, and there's no way I'd have worn a mini-skirt that barely covered me to teach. Also, the time line of her education doesn't make sense. She says she "dropped out" of college, but then went back and finished in order to teach. A college instructor has to have a master's degree, so she must have already had her bachelor's degree. She wouldn't have been stuck in a dead-end job, as Mark condescendingly told her.
Joannakathryn Spoiler ahead: How is that Mark got Alan established in the house as a renter BEFORE he knew that Laurie had gone there? It looks like she's only been there a day, and he's already set up in the attic apartment.And how did he know that her sister would even let him move in? It doesn't look like she needs the money a renter would bring in.Oh well--it's a Lifetime movie. (I must admit--I was sort of glad when Mark "got his.")
Desertman84 Jessica Morris together with Eric Roberts,Vivica A. Fox,Brianna Joy Chomer and Jason-Shane Scott stars in this Lifetime TV movie about a woman who just broke up with her fiancé and gets an attraction with a villainous new roommate that is entitled "The Wrong Roommate".Screenwriter Matthew Jason Walsh and director David DeCoteau treats in one of his three TV movies that has the common title "The Wrong _____" in it.Laurie Valentine decided to break her engagement with her hotshot lawyer fiancé Mark after catching him in bed with another woman.This led her to go back to school as a college professor and looks after the big house of her sister who is on a business trip as well as her 17-year-old niece Ricki.In the process,she gets to meet Alan Cypher,the new tenant in one of the rooms of the big house of her sister.But since it is a Lifetime TV movie,we get to meet determined characters like Mark who would take "no" for an answer and tries to nag to Laurie about restoring their relationship and get back to each other.Too bad that Laurie is ready to move on and gets attracted to Alan,who unfortunately is in cahoots with Mark.Apparently,Alan and Mark are trying manipulate Laurie to help her get back to Mark,who happens to be being a former client due to his dark past.Unfortunately,Alan fell for the beautiful and sexy Laurie and presented danger to many of the characters of the story being a criminal and a cold-blooded killer.Well,no question that the viewer would definitely be treated to a typical Lifetime TV movie that has a common storyline of a woman involved in a dangerous attraction.No question that the elements of predictability,a stubborn character who would take "no" for an answer,a villain having psychotic and violent tendencies and a villain being brought to justice by the main characters instead of the police men in the end are present in it.But nevertheless,I would like to give credit to the screenwriter and director for providing unpredictability to the predictable elements of the Lifetime movie as we get to see these elements mentioned happening only in the last 1/3 of the movie.It was also nice to see the sexy bodies of both Jessica Morris and Jason-Shane Scott especially with the former in her red bathing suit and the latter flaunting his abs in shorts during many parts of the film.No question that sex sells and having them as extra elements of the typical Lifetime TV movie would bring additional charm and entertainment to both male and female viewers alike.
edwagreen There was a great story line here of deceit and ultimate treachery. However, those 2 girls as college professors? Come on. They spoke more like high school juniors or seniors on some escapade. One of the professors, yet a professor of English pronounced the "t" in the word often. That's inexcusable to say the least.We do have a good premise here. Our young professor falls for an artist who gives her the line about breaking up with his girl. She is sympathetic to this as this has been the case with her recent detachment from her fiancé, a defense trial attorney.Our break up professor becomes involved with her niece's tenant and surprisingly we discover that he has been in cahoots with her former flame. The connection is never really totally established.We have the usual things happening, our lover boy killing the attorney and making it appear that he hit an older professor, Eric Roberts, who looks for the most part uncomfortable in the part. We have shootings and kidnapping before a satisfying ending takes place.
