Once again, Lifetime Movie Network presents a gripping whodunit.
As I've asserted in past reviews, folks are often too quick to dismiss LMN films as silly chick-flicks. Yes, most of the fare is about abusive husbands and victimized women. But if you stick to the mysteries, the made-for-women network offers some real humdingers!
The Perfect Plan is not a perfect work of art, but it truly grabs viewers. Emily Rose deftly plays a realtor who's suffering from a bad economy. LMN is often current and refers to realities in our lives. She's teetering in a relationship at home, on the job, and just about every which way.
I will not give away any spoiling info, but suffice it to say that our heroine runs into trouble when she sells a big home. Could there be fraud? Murder? And..what if she's attracted to the suspect? We wonder if our poor protagonist can trust anyone!
Ah, typical LMN fun! This film is full of good acting and twisted plot-lines. Minor characters are solid and believable. It kept my attention and got me thinking about it afterward.
Grade of A-. The minus is for the moments of LMN sentimentality that cloy a tad.
