Bad Stepmother

I expected a real movie. This is just pathetic and laughable even for Lifetime. Cutting costs? Down to rock bottom. Awful cinematography, so cheap-looking, one minute it looks like VHS (soap opera tape!) And next, not even sure, it's so weird. Where did these actors come from, casting call rejects? Abominable in every category. I was too distracted by awfulness to discern the plot but noticed the Token Black Servant that just has to be in any New Orleans-set film. As a life-long resident and native of that city I can assure you of the ridiculousness and untruth of this and it is offensive. I rarely mention anything of this nature but after seeing this in multiple movies I just can't ignore it anymore. I don't write reviews all that often but this joke of a movie is just sad. The only redeeming thing in it is the beautiful local scenery and sets, like the house, of course and the ferry that takes passengers between the east and west banks of the Mississippi River. Ruined by awful actors. Watch if you want to laugh or cry, not at the plot but at the terrible actors. I can't seriously recommend this, watch at your own risk!
