The Governor's Wife (2008 TV Movie)
4/10
I'd say unintentionally hilarious but alas, it wasn't
25 August 2015
Deadly Suspicion is an absolutely dreadful 2008 movie starring Marilu Henner as the widow of a murdered man. And how did I know the distributor of this dreck was none other than Lifetime? It had its particular stamp - less than mediocre.

This is one of those films that, ten seconds after it starts, you know the entire story, including any subplots that haven't been mentioned yet.

Henner wants her son (Matt Kesslar) to enter politics like his father, but he comes home with a fiancée who is a doctor (Emily Bergl), and neither of them are interested in public political life.

Meanwhile, the governor's daughter Hayley is in a mental institution, overdrugged.

The acting is beyond awful. Marilu Henner is a lovely woman but just doesn't make it as a domineering matron.

The ending is more like a horror movie, but then I could say that the whole thing was one big horror.
