Lifetime Movie Summaries

[coffeewhore]

I have the Lifetime movie network and man, do I love it! It is full of terrible, cheesy weird ass dramas. What I've been noticing lately though, is that the summaries that Fios lists for each movie is at times even more interesting than the movie itself! I crack up reading them! Really, look:

Unthinkable- (2007) The Son of a police detective is

'Speak' actually is pretty good.
I think it was an actual theater movie release, not just made for TV?
(I hope so, the thought make me feel better about liking it)
It's also based on a book?
(so that mean 'er 'um something)

It is over the top at points, but appropriately subtle at others. It features the chick from the Twilight movies. Makes me glad she's making money.

I saw it as the Lifetime movie Lifetime movies are trying to be.
( I actually wrote something like that in my LJ)

The synopsis makes some sense in the context of the movie,
though admittedly there maybe some elements which perhaps don't line up logically.

Don't get me wrong, I do like the Lifetime good/bad.

Though I tend prefer my B-movie fair to be more over top action/adventure
(then again a laugh's a laugh).
Kind of like 'Con-Air'. Not actually 'Con-Air' of course -- that's a masterpiece! but stuff like Con Air, if it were too over the top.

I actually didn't watch Speak...but don't feel bad about liking it! Just because they can't summarize well doesn't mean it is in fact terrible!

Of course, this advice comes to you from someone whose favorite lifetime movie of all time is "The Invisible Child"....you know, the one where the mom has a real kids and an 'imaginary' kid and the family all pretends she really exists and then the nanny calls social services on her?! Oh its so bad its awesome!

Oh please please please find us the synopsis for My Stepson, My Lover! That movie's been a running joke amid some friends for years. Our friend Kate is a super homebody and also loves Lifetime movies and it's always, "Oh, no, Kate's not coming, she's watching My Stepson, My Lover, I think."
