Yesterday was my last half-day workday of the year (and possibly the
last day I ever work my second job - we'll see...), but all I got
through were soaps and a Lifetime movie:
>
Be Careful What You Say (LMN) - Surprisingly, this wasn't a Hybrid flick
like I was expecting (instead it was a Barbie Castro production), and it
was actually well-made. That wasn't the problem.
    The problem was the flick sported almost *no* likeable characters!
    The only character who came close was the producer boyfriend played
by Jason Tobias - once again, Tobias is playing the overly-supportive
boyfriend schlub who is heinously framed by the film's villainess
(Tobias plays the same role in "Revenge for My Mother", and at least one
other flick I can't think of right now...), and is abandoned by the
film's so-called "heroine" as a result.
    But everyone else here is unlikeable - the overly-ambitious
unsupportive "advice" podcaster (Skye Coyne), the revenge-obsessed
villainess (Nicole Dionne) whose son was a psychopath who deserved to
die, and the podcaster's know(no?)-it-all unsupportive college-aged
sister (Taylor Castro).
    Gist: Unlicensed podcast "advice columnist(?)" gives a harried mom
some "tough love" advice, which results in the death of said son. A year
later, the mom initiates a devious and detailed plan to destroy the
podcaster's life and career, before murdering her and burying her in the
backyard "for all eternity".
    The problem? This time, I wasn't rooting for either of them. In
fact, I was kind of rooting for both of them to die.
    The ending on this one was a real howler, as everyone ends up with
an undeserved ending.

 How do you watch the lifetime stuff?

Lifetime actually does make Lifetime and LMN movies available on their website for at least a month after they air. But in order to access them they will make you sign in through your cable provider.
