The Good Mistress (2014)

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.

In the opening scene, an attractive blonde is pursued and killed by a camera-shy assailant. We quickly learn this occurs in the desolate woods of a small town called Shelter Hills. Coincidently, another pretty blonde arrives in town, from Michigan, pulled over by cute officer Jeremy Guilbaut (as Grady Williams). Intending to start a new life, former alcohol abuser Annie Heise (as Sandy Cooper) maimed a lad while drunk-driving and was deprived of her family fortune in a resulting lawsuit. However, she has accepted responsibility and wants to stay off the sauce. A paralegal, Ms. Heise gets a job courtesy of her old school-mate Kendra Anderson (as Karen), who also took to Shelter Hills. Her tall, dark and handsome husband Antonio Cupo (as David Waterford) is running for county supervisor. This is strictly production-line TV movie story-telling, from director Terry Ingram and the crew. What's "Good" is that is concludes in under 85 minutes. Heise doesn't qualify as a "Mistress" and the fact that a character chooses to date her in the town's most public places – including the local coffee shop and bar – is ludicrous.**** The Good Mistress (2/15/14) Terry Ingram ~ Annie Heise, Antonio Cupo, Kendra Anderson, Jeremy Guilbaut

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.
