Her Infidelity

I don't make a point to watch Lifetime movies because they all suck, but sometimes when there's nothing else on like on a Sunday I find myself getting sucked into it one once in a while. "Her Infidelity" is one of the worst Lifetime movies I've ever had the misfortune of watching. Where do I begin!? The acting is horrid and amateurish. It's actually so bad it's funny. Rachel Hunter has an accent and then doesn't and then does and then doesn't. lol The story is so boring and there's no substance. The script is laughable, the situations are unrealistic, the sets are cheap as hell, and every character is ANNOYING. You would do better watching anything else besides this. Really. Anything.

This is one tragic mistake made by LMN and the writer, director and cast. It is almost a joke from beginning to end. Rachel Hunter is awful and walks through the movie like something horrible is about to happen. She weakens the plot by her over acting and jumping at every noise she hears. Her husband tries but doesn't work well with Hunter. In fact she looks much older then he. And lover boy looks like a wax museum character. Now suddenly this frightened to death Hunter stalks the woods carrying a baseball bat to attack the villain. And of course, typical LMN style, when Hunter gets caught by stone face, she knees him in the balls to escape. I would love it if once just once some guy would knee a woman in the groin. I love it when he catches up with her and throws her around. She really is pathetic in this and quite idiotic in all her decisions as to what to do. No one earns any merit in this trashy film, except maybe the children who act like children and not loonies. But to this viewer Rachel Hunter ruins this film with her over acted performance. However, I don't think another actor could do much better with the silly script. Can one give a minus vote? Mine would be -10. Sorry folks.

Was surprised to realized this is a recent movie produced. I was browsing through my movie list and the plot sounded good. A cliché but still a good plot for a really great psychological thriller. However 20 minutes into the film, oh dear. What started out as disbelief at the really bad acting or rather over acting from Rachel Hunter in her pathetic attempt to create tension. The bad script didn't help either. And Rachel making one bad choice after another in trying to create the drama, seriously pathetic. The whole time I'm watching, it's extremely frustrating to watch scene after scene of amateur, pathetic acting. So so disappointing. Glad I didn't pay money to watch this.

The movie, in principle, has a lot of potential, but falls flat very quickly. The actor portraying Grayson, an apparent psychopath, is totally incapable of proper role portrayal, never really developing the character into something believable. The plot/script are muddled with numerous holes that are obvious through quick fixes in script that make no sense. The um movie doesn't really resolve itself, an ending that doesn't tie up all the loose ends.

The two leads vie to steal the show. Probably the female wins though it's a close call! Wife believes her husband being unfaithful, so she is seduced by her son's teacher who happens to be totally deranged and crazy. The user ratings here are terrible, but frankly this movie is not so bad and had me mainly engaged to the end. Easy to be critical but in my opinion a watchable yarn and some good performances from most of the cast. A positive aspect is how the film portrays the madness of the baddie by illustrating how he sees another person when he looks at the goodie. Clearly a sign of insanity. The picture lacks originality especially at the conclusion so six and a half but deduct half a mark, hence: 6/10.

First odd thing you'll notice about this promising plot is Rachel Hunter's unconvincing American accent. It's so unstable and so bad when it's off that you wonder who thought it was necessary to make the movie work. Probably an American who finds foreign accents strange? Then you'll find that the women in this world have nothing better to do than spread their legs for the hot teacher. Yep, all the women have one taste and they have nothing better to do, including the married ones. Then there are the stupid decisions requisite of a slasher horror film, but this is supposed to be a psychological thriller. Well, I guess the writer couldn't find a way to make the story work otherwise. And of course there's the title. The plot is more sympathetic to the woman than the title would suggest, though.
