Suburban Madness (2004 TV Movie)
4/10
Is It Meant As A Parody ?
6 February 2010
Warning: Spoilers
This TVM can be summed up by one of the words in the title . I'll give you a clue it's the word that's not " Suburban " . It's a mad film , a totally deranged one and one that seems to have a terrible agenda . I thought it might have been directed by a feminist but Robert Dornhelm isn't a feminist sounding name but scriptwriter Kimberlee Reed might be . It's summed up early in the film where cheated wife Clara Harris hires private investigator Bobbi Bacha to tail her husband David . Right away alarm bells start ringing when Bobbi states that it's in our DNA to cheat on our spouses . Hmmm sounds like Darwinism mixed with original sin , a confused way of thinking that is certainly the antithesis to creationism

But this is a confused film .Is it a high farce comedy or a bio-pic ? Yes it's based on a true story about a woman who murdered her husband by running him down after he broke his wedding vows with some slapper but it seems there's two films fighting against one another . There's the cheated spouse of Clara who's husband is rubbing her face in that he had an affair . I mean he takes her to a cocktail bar and explains in detail why he was attracted to blonde haired beautiful blue eyed Lisa . The we cut to Bobbi Bacha and her mini-skirted stetson wearing bimbo associate following some guy who's snogging a cheerleader in a subplot that feels more like an inverted Bond spoof . It's a memorable TVM for sure . Just not in a good way
