Trivia
This is the second Lifetime film in which René Ashton and Nicolette Langley play mother and daughter, the first being Beware of Mom (2020).

Goofs
Maggie's mom uses phone to see where her daughter is. The app says she is at the club then the very next scene shows them still driving to the club. In fact as the mom gets to the club they are just walking into the club. They totally messed up.

Quotes
Laurel: Sometimes I feel like I'm living in that movie It. Where all of the adults are in this fog and can't really see what's happening.

This one has FOUR titles

I saw it as 'My Best Friend's Secret Life' but it has three other titles including 'My Escort Best Friend's.

The usual plethora of plot holes, trope-y juvenile dialogue, and incompetent acting that make up most Lifetime flicks. This is the second recently-made LMN flick in which Nicolette Langley's character's name is Maggie (Lifetime really needs a book of names since they use the same ones over and over ad nauseum). Her acting ability is still barely above that of someone who's been in a coma for ten years - she rarely reacts or responds to anything...just in her usual daze.

Overly-contrived: the bakery partner taking so many selfies til the villain finally noticed she was intentionally taking pics of him. Wouldn't one or two have been enough?

But the stupidest part had to be the 16-year-old high school sophomore snapping at her mother: "I'm here at Club West Quarter and I'm FINE!"

Good grief, Lifetime.....

Grade F - 1 out of 10.
