I’ll tell you what this series is not:
A parody
A comedy
A dark comedy
A thriller

The title is maybe a parody of a bunch of movies but it implies funny. This movie is not funny.

Kristen Bell does a great job of acting, however there are some fundamental problems. The writing is flat. The supporting cast is flat which means the director phoned it in. Sets are cheap and it has a mass produced feel.

It is trying to make fun of “lifetime” movies and comes off welll . . . a lifetime movie.

If this is what a parody movie looks like targeted to women, it is lost on women. My wife hated it - even with Kristen Bell. It’s not a date night film because the “parody” is lost on men who will never watch “Lifetime” movies.

You have to take risks to make a good film. No one took risks here. The star is not enough to save this film.
