Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Lawbolisted Powerful
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Desertman84 Former The Wonder Years mainstay Danica McKellar stars in this another "The Wrong _____" Lifetime movie about dental assistant that has been wrongly accused of murder entitled "The Wrong Woman".Well,after being into a lot of "The Wrong _____" movies this weekend that could probably be classified as average and mediocre while this review was written,I finally found something that I would probably consider a notch above mediocre in the sense that it was able to provide excitement in its plot twists and common story lines.Ellen Plainview is a dental assistant at a dental office that has been secretly taking pole dancing lessons at night to bring added joy and sensuality to her sex life with her husband Mike,who also works as a cop.Suddenly one day,two detectives arrested Ellen for the case of an attempted murder of Faye Walker.Things begin to look overwhelming as she starts getting represented by a seemingly incompetent lawyer and the amount of evidence goes against her.In the end,she decided to defend herself being a Law Student after her lawyer decided to leave her and decided to prove her innocence to the court and the viewers as well.The movie is basically the standard "The Wrong _____" having the protagonist being against a villain who is trying to put a trainwreck on her life;the least suspected person being the villain; and protagonist trying to put an end to the terror the villain is putting in her life. But what makes it a notch above the standard Lifetime movie and the "The Wrong _____"-type movies is the fact that we got involved in an interesting court room drama.The court room drama was good enough to be entertaining especially with Ellen representing herself as a lawyer.Danica McKellar did well in terms of performance in proving her innocence during the court room scenes.She made them truly entertaining despite being predictable or the viewer knowing that she will get the "Not Guilty" verdict in the end.She played Ellen with passion especially being her own lawyer.No wonder there was a sequel made for it entitled "Mommy,I Did Not Do It" which I will review later.
rkasano I just watched this movie on lifetime 9/19/14. I was yelling at the TV practically the whole movie! Her whole case should've been thrown out of court! She wasn't properly mirandized! She's questioned by the officers in interrogation, she asks to call her husband, next thing you know they tell her that her bond is $500,000 and they are locking her up! Her lawyer was a joke and should've known that right from the beginning. Another thing! She was the wife of a police officer! She didn't have any knowledge of correct police procedures. Seems like her husband taught her nothing about how to handle police matters or correct procedures. She should've told her lawyer that she wasn't properly mirandized and any evidence obtain thereafter would be thrown out. In fact, the whole case should've been thrown out on a technicality! Her husbands behavior seemed off to me. He seemed like he didn't really care if she went to prison. I suspected him at first. I was correct that he was screwing around. Anyway, had to get this off my chest!
stewartlynn I thought Danica was great in this movie. The movie itself had a great cast, was great seeing "Hunter" back on TV. I have to say the story lagged a little midway and could have used a little more suspense and a little more drama but all the actors were fantastic it's definitely something I enjoyed watching on a Saturday night!! I thought it was very interesting watching with the perspective of the lead character, it sort of made you feel as helpless as the character felt, and kept you wanting to see someone stand up for her. The lead character taking charge was wholly satisfying. It was someone taking control of their own fate I loved that aspect of the movie!! It wasn't a summer blockbuster but it was a great lifetime movie, it's the reason I love watching.
wes-connors Dental office clerk Danica McKellar (as Ellen) is taking a course in "pole dancing" at night, to liven up a limp sex life with police officer husband Carter MacIntyre (as Mike). Strangely, no scenes from the pole dancing class are shown. In the opening, a woman is attacked by a hooded figure, under a shady parking structure. Because she parked there, Ms. McKellar is found, questioned and quickly charged with the crime. She is thrown in jail with a cell-mate who wants to "cuddle." According to the title, which also identifies this story as a variation on Alfred Hitchcock's "The Wrong Man" (1956), McKellar is not guilty. "I'm not a criminal," she explains, "I work in a dentist's office." That may not be her best defense, but it makes as much sense as anything in this silly story. "The Wrong Woman" is so full of mistakes and misconceptions, it's more fun to watch it for that than any other reason.**** The Wrong Woman (12/28/13) Richard Gabai ~ Danica McKellar, Jonathan Bennett, Jim O'Heir, Carter MacIntyre
