Dying for the Crown (2018) Reviews
Above average, entertaining TV movie.
Entertaining. But don't watch this movie alone. You need someone there to exchange sarcastic remarks with. The blonde was the protagonist and the brunette was the antagonist. Both women added respectable visual pleasure. It was nice that the movie started in with the plot action right away. No long drawn out beginning. It was also nice to see how realistic it was when the girl made a scene on stage. The kids on the floor just stared like deer in headlights. Notice when the one fell off and landed on the floor, her pose was exactly like those who take a fall in Family Guy. Twenty years later, as adults, the plot thickened right away as well. I won't comment on the red dress at the reunion, but wow. Another realistic aspect was the white board in the brunettes kitchen with her to-do list. It reminded me of Austin Powers list. I was waiting for her to write down "threesome with Japaenesse twins". The climactic ending was rather lackluster. Family Guy deja vu all over again. The final scene was predictably stupid. Two things to notice: the tasers are really strong. And is the principal the only adult who ever goes to the proms? Despite the flaws and plot holes, there were less than in the average lifetime movie. An important factor to me is that I don't want to be bored. There was no time that happened. Overall it was entertaining.
TV for women? LOL
Lifetime movies follow a general plotline. There are always several characters, notably a Lifetime Psycho (LP), and a Lifetime Heroine (LH). It's apparent within the first minute or so who is who here. First, as soon as Kim Director appeared, I wondered again why the modern Wonder Woman was cast as it was when there were so many better choices. I saw her and thought Diana Prince- she has that look. Probably too old & maybe not a great actress, but she sure looked the part- which brings me to my title. Lifetime has always been advertised as television for women. This movie is really eye candy for men. The leads are both attractive blue-eyed women, and Kim as the LP gets to be a bad girl and dress accordingly. As a random thought, I wonder if Kim marries someone named Producer if she will hyphenate her name? Kim Director-Producer. That could get really confusing come credit time, similar to the Abbott & Costello "Who's on first" routine. Now back to the plot. The LP thinks she was cheated at the high school homecoming dance. The LH is named homecoming queen. The LP shows off her poisoning (a favorite method for LPs) skills by dosing the LP's date via some type of hair treatment. A less-than-epic chick fight takes place and the LP falls off the stage. Fast-forward 20 years later. The LH is married to her homecoming date Rob, the Lifetime Good Guy or LGG. He has a beard (as opposed to the usual GPNS or Guy Perpetually in Need of a Shave). They have a daughter that breaks the standard Lifetime role of Rebellious Teen (RT). I have to acronym her as something, so I'll call her Lifetime Heroine's Daughter or LHD. The LH has an invite to her 20 year HS reunion, and the LHD invites herself. We then get to see the LP (we get to see a lot of the LP, hence the eye candy for men, not sure if this qualifies as a Lifetime Movie Point, but I'll award one anyway), who in short order ganks her husband, a GPNS (there always has to be at least one). It turns out the LP wanted to adopt and hubby GPNS shoots her down, telling her he's divorcing her. She accuses him of cheating on her with his assistant. Bad idea- doesn't he ever watch Lifetime movies? She picks up a convenient conch shell and conks him on the back of the head, knocking him into the pool. One thing we can count on in these films is that Lifetime PD is incompetent, so the LP calls it in as an accident and is then free to plot her homecoming revenge (alternate title drop there). Body count: 1. In another LOL moment, the LP looks at the reunion invite and we see the LH's boyfriend's high school photo with him as a GPNS. I looked up the actor and he was like 32 when he played a 17 year old. The LP then stalks the LH, complete with binocular-vision. We're then at the reunion, and the LP is playing nice towards the LH. Red flag in a red dress. They lunch together and the LP alludes to having a bad husband, and then says she left him. Left him dead in the pool! The LP cries poverty (despite having a late model BMW) and hits up the LH for a job, but the LH has hired Red Shirt Girl (RSG) #1. In science fiction, a red shirt is an expendable character that will be killed off. We get to see the LP's plan via whiteboard. She has already completed steps 1 and 2. The next obstacle (step 3) is RSG. The LP visits and sets her up, and being a well-equipped LP, plants a bug in the flower shop. In a rather laughable plot hole, the LP uses a Taser through RSG's jeans on her butt and knocks her out. The LP is on a roll for plot holes and uses her same phone that she called the LH on before to call the flower shop and order 10 dozen roses. The LH must be a dumb blonde, as she does not realize it is the LP's number. This sets the LP up for a job at the flower shop, but she has to step out back to reschedule her non-existent job interview. In a continuity error, by the time she is outside, she's wearing a push-up bra and meets with some young dude. Step 4 is LHD. In the meantime, the LH and LGG have a talk. The LGG doesn't like ot trust the LP. RSG #1's sister is now worried about her as she is missing. The LP inserts herself into LHD's dress shopping. LP's are always good at driving a wedge between family members. I would not be surprised if later on she hits on the LGG, but he already knows about her and doesn't like her. Lifetime PD finally finds RSG #1's body. Body count: 2. The LH finds the GPNS' assistant Molly outside her shop. The assistant is now RSG #2. Looks like we're going to have a favorable body count here. RSG #2 fills in the LH about the LP and how she killed her husband. The poor way she delivered her lines in that scene was funny to watch, so I'll award an extra Lifetime Movie Point for her performance. The LH confronts the LP about this and she spins a tale blaming RSG #2. The LP in short order ganks RSG #2, but at least she gave her a poem to read first. Body count: 3. This movie has what it takes to go all the way on my Lifetime Movie score. Time will tell if we get an epic chick fight at the end. The LP then sabotages the LH's big flower event via some herbicide. Dumb blonde LH can't smell it even though she's only a couple of feet away. The LP completes the task by unplugging the cooling thermostat. Cue some more overacting. The LH loses the big contract. The LP buds up with LHD, and when the LH returns, she fires the LP. Cut to the LP's list. Next up: The LGG. I don't think she is going to seduce him, but we'll see. In some equal time for the ladies, we get to see the LHD hit on a bare chested football player. Nowhere near the screen time the LP has in that department though. The LH and LHD get into an argument over the LP and the LHD sides with the LP In a development out of left field, the LH is pregnant. RSG #1's death is now an open homicide since her ex-BF has been cleared. The LH does some amateur detecive work and checks out the address listed on the LP's job application. It's a vacant lot. Meanwhile, the LP is lunching with LHD. My money says she's the next female in jeopardy here, but the LP pumps her for info on the LGG's itenerary. More friction between the LH and LHD. In one of the most bogus scenes in the entire movie, the LP disguises herself as a limo driver and picks up the LGG. I guess even though the LH recognized her right away, the hat and sunglasses worked as a disguise here. He gets in and is dosed by the LP via some flowers in the car. Apparently the same stuff from 20 years ago. The LP sends a bogus text as him which alienates the LHD. Will he make it or will he be body count #4? The LH then tries calling RSG #2 again. Homecoming has finally arrived. The dude from outside the flower shop is the LP's inside man and they have a plan. LH drives to RSG #2's house only to learn her body is found, and it looks like a suicide. Another bogus text from the LGG telling the LH to meet him at her shop. She arrives to find him in the flower cabinet. The LP appears and has his epi pen. The LP uses the magic knockout Taser again, this time on the LH, although she has to hit her twice, threatening the LHD between shocks. RSG #1's sis shows up, saves the LGG, and awakens the LH. The LH drives to homecoming and calls Lifetime PD on the way. Back to the homecoming. The LHD wins homecoming queen- which was the LP's plan via the indside man. Seeing as how there are just a few minutes left, I predict there will be another less-than-epic chick fight at the end and this time the LP will not make it, or if she does, she'll be off to the Lifetime looney bin. The LH uses her bean and pulls the fire alarm. The LP goes on the attack and kicks the LHD's football player date in his knee brace- how does he play football wearing that? He's out of action, so the LH steps between the LP and the LHD. Where did the principal go? Another minor chick fight and the LP is on the floor again. In the sunny day ending 3 months later, the LGG has recovered, the LH and LHD have made up, the LP is serving life, and all is well. Or is it? We see the LP in prison. She has made a crown out of scrap metal, and Warden Dumass gives it to her. The movie ends with her stabbing him with it. Body count 4? Unconfirmed. Lifetime movie score: 8/10. Real movie score: 2/10.
Just gotta cut some people out of your life
The premise is interesting. Should you let a wack job who didn't get crowned prom queen from high school back into your life? Well many years later the high school prom queen gives the wacko another chance. It's quite interesting to see how things progress. The actresses are good and attractive so this makes things watchable. The daughter behaves dumbly but wouldn't be much of a story otherwise. OK for one watch.
Horrible
Horrible writers. How does this stuff get green lighted. My 10 year old even laughed at the husband hitting his head in the pool. The back of the head. Dont want to even write about how stupid that part is. You'll see. Principal involved in the reunion. Shaking my head. Sadly Bowlby's two and half men body has gone the way of the dinosaur. But Abbie Gayle is worth watching. Oh yea. Every florist will take an order for 10 dozen Rose's on the phone without a credit card . Lmao idiot writers.
HAHAHHA!
How the hell this actually got green lit I've no idea. There's so many things wrong between script, acting, plot holes, everything....it's all just so wrong. Just say NO.
