The Wrong Life Coach

This was a pretty good lifetime thriller about a psychotic woman seeking revenge on am ex classmate who she blames for ruining her life when they were teenagers. Allison McAtee plays the villain perfectly. As an actress she has a great range of skills to either play someone sweet and someone extremely evil. Morgan Bradley plays the main character who let's a dangerous woman into her life and for some reason is unaware of the chaos she is causing and doesn't realize it has something to do with her past. Jamie Bernadette plays the best friend who isn't too trusting of the new life coach and soon finds herself in the deranged woman's path. This film as few small cameos in it from Tracey Nelson, Meredith Thomas, Michael Pare and Eric Roberts. Was hoping for a more vicious cat fight at the end, but sadly didn't get one. The movie however did end in a good note.

That would have been a better name for this movie. Oftentimes you have to forget reality to get into Lifetime Movies but, in this case, one would have to forget all they know about life to get into this one. You can't blame the cast, there are some good ones here. The problem lies in the script. It's 2024 for goodness sakes. LMN has years and years of experience in these movies. You would think scripts would be getting better and better. Not true in this case. It's funny- near the half way point our recording went blank and stayed that way for about 5 minutes. My wife said "maybe it's putting us out of our misery." Don't waste your time on this one.
