The Bad Guardian      (movie)       (8 pm, Lifetime Channel)
 
"The Bad Guardian" is a riveting thriller about one woman’s fight to
save her father from the clutches of a corrupt and greedy
court-appointed “guardian.” When Leigh’s (Melissa Joan Hart) father
Jason (Eric Pierpoint) suffers a fall while she’s out of town, the
courts assign Jason a guardian, Janet (La La Anthony). At first Janet
seems to be a big help to Jason, but things quickly take a terrible
turn. Janet is legally in charge of every aspect of Jason’s life, and
doesn’t waste any time placing him in a nursing home, auctioning off his
house, all worldly possessions, and using the excuse that the proceeds
are needed for his care. As Leigh continues to challenge Janet’s
efforts, the guardian ultimately uses her power to prevent the family
from visiting. In Janet’s care, Jason’s health deteriorates, to the
point that he needs a life-saving treatment which Janet decides is too
expensive. As the whistleblowers around Jason meet untimely ends, Leigh
finds the strength to take down the guardian and the corrupt system that
supports her.

This doesn't just sound like a bad guardian. It sounds like the *wrong*
guardian!
