“So after 15 years away from LMFC (Lifetime Movies for Chicks), wanting to expand my horizons beyond the true crime stories of the ID Channel, Iu0026#39;ve resumed watching LMFC. Frankly, I was and am shocked these movies are still made, given the explosion of video content since I last watched them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJosie Davis is apparently the current star en residence for LMFC. She seems to crank out about 5 a year. Iu0026#39;ve now seen her several times, but I actually did not recognize her in this flick, which says a little something positive for her acting abilities, at least on an LMFC scale.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;m not much into plot summaries in my reviews. Plot summaries are for, well, plot summaries. Why didnu0026#39;t our grade and high school teachers teach us to review relevant aspects of a movie/book/play/show rather than regurgitate the plot?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor a LMFC, this was reasonably well-acted and engaging. It was plot #11 from the limited LMFC playbook. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHere is my favorite part, one of the reasons I watch LMFC, the faux pas:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e1. Killer says his car windows were stuck open and he was getting soaked in the torrential downpour. But when Taylor and Blake go to check out the car, they donu0026#39;t even notice or comment on the fact that the windows were up.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e2. Taylor, Blake, Killer and Sheriff have all been outside in the torrential downpour. However, when inside, none of them are wet.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEnjoy this 5-star LMFC!”
