guil fisher This leading lady was annoying from beginning to the end. Her voice made me cringe. As if she were 10 years old. Her bug eyes also didn't help. She went through the entire movie with this look of surprise. As if she saw a ghost. I had no empathy for her at all because she was such a bad choice for a rather inept script. Most of the remaining cast went through their blocking and lines as though they were in a trance. Not a redeeming value to this terrible movie. Waste of time. Hope you didn't have to pay to see this silly film. I haven't mentioned names of the cast, director, writer or producer in respect of hoping they have learned by their own mistakes and not to do something like this to the public again. And please, take this off the air. It doesn't represent LMN at their best nor worst.
Keith Brooks Lemme see... does "lame" even in all CAPS begin to describe how bad this movie is? Character development? No. Plot line? No. Logical transition? No. Direction? No. Decidedly no. Production value? No. There was absolutely no ROI in that arena. Can't believe anyone put up the loot to produce this.At no time in the scripting is the "heroine" (quelle joke) Mirandized. Nothing remarkably stunning is made of the photographic evidence found in the trunk when the car has been in impound since the defendant was arrested (did I mention without being mirandized?). I can't believe Fred Dryer, a former police officer himself, could have agreed to appear in this LAME movie with such shoddy plot development, poor investigative protocols and NO MIRANDIZING of the defendant. Suspects aren't presented to the victim in this fashion. How could you Fred? Really? Hunter would be so disappointed.And they wrap it all up with the real culprit knocked out by an oxygen cylinder to the head, laid out cold on the hospital supply room floor and no logical conclusion to the scene or the entire movie, perhaps showing the real culprit being arrested, mirandized and dragged away screaming obscenities, vowing vengeance forever? No, we get the heroine walking away with her best model's runway gait, camera focused firmly on a shot of her calves and her "two cats fighting in a sack" posterior. Yeah. That's important plot development.No, let's transition this with a sudden cut to a scene of the heroine playing a LAME tennis lesson with the lame daughter and cutesy public defender. UGH what a lame movie. Did I mention the only thing this LAME movie achieved was a very successfully executed version of a LAME ripoff of Hitchcock's "The Wrong Man"? I am sure Hitch rolled over in his grave, groaning at the insult. Don't waste your time on this incredibly awful movie.
wes-connors Dental office clerk Danica McKellar (as Ellen) is taking a course in "pole dancing" at night, to liven up a limp sex life with police officer husband Carter MacIntyre (as Mike). Strangely, no scenes from the pole dancing class are shown. In the opening, a woman is attacked by a hooded figure, under a shady parking structure. Because she parked there, Ms. McKellar is found, questioned and quickly charged with the crime. She is thrown in jail with a cell-mate who wants to "cuddle." According to the title, which also identifies this story as a variation on Alfred Hitchcock's "The Wrong Man" (1956), McKellar is not guilty. "I'm not a criminal," she explains, "I work in a dentist's office." That may not be her best defense, but it makes as much sense as anything in this silly story. "The Wrong Woman" is so full of mistakes and misconceptions, it's more fun to watch it for that than any other reason.**** The Wrong Woman (12/28/13) Richard Gabai ~ Danica McKellar, Jonathan Bennett, Jim O'Heir, Carter MacIntyre
wlake62 Taken straight from the Lifetime Movies template, this movie is full of cliché and stereotype. A very grown-up Danica McKellar (The Wonder Years) plays the unsuspecting cop's wife, who loves her hubby dearly and is doing all she can to revive their marriage. She even takes pole dancing lessons, hoping to surprise and entice her hubby with her newly acquired skill. Meanwhile, unbeknown to the cop's wife, he's having an affair with the town whore. One of the two women ends up dead, and the other is accused of her murder. Amazingly, the cheating cop hubby barely has a speaking role in the movie. I kept waiting for him to show up as the villain, but he never did. I've enjoyed Danica McKellar in past Lifetime movies, but I just couldn't believe her as this character. She went from wimpy wife to superwoman in two hours. There are too many scenes where she has her "Winnie" sad eyes on, lips apart, big white front teeth showing just enough. I'd love to see Danica make a movie a little more light hearted, one that uses her sparkling smile more. The ending was unbelievable, and seemed forced upon the viewer without explanation. I typically like original Lifetime movies, but this one was so predictable it was probably shot in three days. Compared to Lifetime movies of the past (three years ago and beyond perhaps), I wouldn't bother to watch this one twice.
