One of the better of this type of movies. Lifetime movies are typically just a guilty pleasure, never mindblowing, but a little escapism.
This was decent enough, and every question was answered by the end, including and especially who the killer was. No one should be confused by this movie.
Watch until the very last scene, the only way you could have missed who the killer was would be if you turned it off too soon. Literally the last 30 seconds has the reveal.

The movie is a great thriller though made on a TV movie budget. Am quite fussy about selecting my thriller movies but this one was picked honestly randomly by me on a feel Good Friday evening and I was pleasantly surprised. Loved the twists and turns and the whodunnit guessing game. And yes, can we PLEASE get more of this wonderful actress ERIN KARPLUK?? She is brilliant an actor!! Hope to see more of her in upcoming movie/tv series.
Therapist Alison Whitford (Erin Karpluk) is heart-broken when her husband gets killed in a hit-and-run. Police Det. Gabriel Strickland believes it to be murder. She is confronted by Marla Mitchell (Kate Corbett) who turns out to be his other wife. They find that he was first married to Cheryl Volberg (Kelly Rutherford) and has no legitimate source of income.
I'm going with this movie until Alison fails to foresee Cheryl's refusal. Everybody seems to be smart at the beginning. Everybody needs to be smart in order for this to be a good thriller. That's the secret to making this movie work. The writing has to be smart. Getting the wives to agree on the money does not make it any more legal. Alison really only has two options. She can go to the cops or she can go take the money herself. At the very least, she should have held onto the passcode as leverage. I would have liked to see her go to the dark side and have her world descend into corruption. That's the better movie.

There have been a few of these married to many wives at the same time movies. This one is a bit more tongue in cheek humorous. Not a drama. I am a huge fan of Kelly Rutherford and she looks beautiful and classy here. If not for her I would say skip this one. The other two actresses are a bit B grade. A lame little twist at the end.

Nothing we haven't seen before. It's been done way better. A man is hit by a car (which turned out not to be an accident) and his wife finds out he was also married to two women other women expect for her. It's a whodunnit not so good lifetime movie. The actors are good but they are not at their best and the plot is just mediocre. We also don't get a definitive answer to who actually murdered this man. Skip it.

5/10.
From the beginning he was interesting, he kept his attention all the time, the acting was not very bad. It wasn't predictable and I expected the film to be a lot worse.

Of all the Lifetime Movie Network movies my Fiancee makes me watch this one was the best written, acted, and funniest I've seen. I completely thought this was a real movie and no just the low budget flings that LMN usually has.
For starters the characters are well written and acted especially Erin Karpluk who plays Alison in the movie. She has great lines and emotion that definitely shows in the highlights of the movie. The supporting cast is also great and I can't praise enough how the director did not waste any characters. Everyone had a part and usefulness to the plot.
Finally, the ending is an incredible twist and shows the Actresses true ability to hide her motive the whole time. Again I can't praise this movie enough and the director/writer who wrote this should definitely be doing full budget films. This is a must see!

Perhaps too clever for its own good, this is one of those stories that seem to be made up on the run, where anyone could be the guilty party - but the writers then pull the rug from under your feet and add an extra ending that feels like a too-much-to-believe stretch - and way overly manipulative to be fully convincing. For those hooked on who-done-its and don't mind being taken for a ride.
Bad script, bad acting and overall poor quality storytelling. It tries too hard to be thriller and ends up falling flat on its face. Hard to believe anyone could be entertained by this flop. Don't waste your time.
Good acting and ok plot but the ending doesn't even reveal the killer.

It seems like everything about this was half-assed. Bad writing and storyline. I'm just upset that I wasted my time.

Since we got Hulu, we are really getting into LMN. We have begun to expect plot twists and they are usually predictable, but this movie had us guessing all along. The reveal at the end was something we did not expect. The movie was a little slow at times and seemed funny at times- but that was probably due to the Marla character. Once you realized she was somewhat of a psycho, you got along just fine.
Good movie, would watch again.

I loveee thrillers where you need to watch all the movie to find the answer, even if takes all the movie. This movie was worth it.
All the actress were perfectly cast, even the clues that were put in the movie leave you suspecting...watch till the end. Is better to see it without know nothing at all. Besides action and supernatural, i love thrillers and this one have everything you want, and you need to keep watching to find the answer.is smart, and thats enough great for me. Also, the fact a guy can have 3 wifes sounds funny(because 3 women will be too much for one guy)and the plot is too dramatic, is the way i like dramas.
Now i want to see more of this dramas, i loveee it¡¡¡
