Since nobody's talking about this film, I'll start. I watched it last night and it was rather entertaining. I felt like it was different from other similar movies because the villian was actually likeable. Sure she killed a few people and was trying to ruin her best friend's life, but while she was pretending to be nice, she was completely convincing. It wasn't one of those movies where you're screaming at the main character to figure it out because the best friend wasn't all that see-through.

Of course, this movie wasn't some sort of masterpiece. I had a hard time believing that crushed up sleeping pills wouldn't change the flavor of coffee, or a slurpee or hot chocolate. It was a little too convenient how perfectly all her plans worked. And it was annoying how she talked to herself when she was alone. Also, the ending sucked. It was so weak and thrown together. But all in all, this was an entertaining movie which I felt was well-acted, if not well-planned out. Not bad for a late night.

yeah i agree. i also found it amusing that she always had a tube of crushed sleeping pills in her purse. it was like her solution to everything. her plans were always well thought out but in the time frame she had it wasn't believable that everything went smoothly when she carried them out. this was the only movie i've seen where the "bad guy" or in this case the bad girl got away with so many things before being caught. i hated the ending also. the worst part was when the police came "right in the nick of time". it was so unreal.

Well Ross you're a paleontologist, dig a little deeper!

Yeah, it seems like they wasted too much time on everything and tacked on the ending as an afterthought. We didn't even get to see anyone get shot. It's like 5 minutes later... the cops are outside then everybody hugs. Freeze frame. It was dumb. But I liked the movie up to that point. Glad you guys agree and that I could get the conversation started. :)

yeah, the villain girl is hilarious. i like when that teenager girl calls her a slut and she's like "you're gonna regret that" to herself matter of factly. awesome.

hahah omg i'm laughing aloud. My thoughts exactly. hahhaha.

Also, no mention of the fact that the husband doesnt remember falling asleep awkwardly at her house? Or the perfume she took such pains to put on? And like "hey uncle whatshisface, there's this film of you being mounted and somehow the guy outside the window heard every word the crazy lady was saying as she awkwardly talked to herself?"

Oh, Lord. Lifetime killers can murder countless people without ever leaving behind any evidence! She had an endless supply of sleeping pills; but not once did I see her go fill in her prescription. Her husband's death was one of the funniest death scenes ever. She sould be called "The Sleeping Pill Killer."

Embarrassingly bad, all the way around. No cinematic or redeeming value at all.

However, if you want a chuckle, go back to where she was reading over the insurance policy. It's like someone took a basic lorem ipsum document, put in some plot points, a few clues to the rest of the movie, and so on. It _had_ to be an inside joke by a prop guy: no one in their right mind would purposely put that in the script.
