Rob Lowe was so wrong for this role


Lol it just looked like Rob Lowe in a Drew Peterson costume doing an impression of him. Drew Peterson is fat and unattractive Rob Lowe is neither of those things, and all they did to him in this movie was put a wig and mustache on him, they didn't do anything to make him look fat. And when he was riding on the motorcycle before he picked up Kaley Cuoco i was just thinking lol Drew Peterson wishes he looked that good, Chiseled face and slim body.

IMO Tim Allen would have been a better choice, he looks alot like Drew. why the hell would they go out and pick a good looking guy like Rob Lowe to play a fat ugly old guy like Drew Peterson?

In some scenes Lowe looked a little fatter than others. In fact, he wore a fat-suit at times. But his red face, hair, and mustache were funny. Lifetime movies are supposed to be so bad that they're good. I thought Lowe was very entertaining. To me, it's more funny to change the actor's looks rather than to cast someone just because they look like the guy they're playing.

Yes, so wrong. And Tim Allen would've been so much better. Rob Lowe also talks like he's still 20 years old.
