What in the world did I just watch? I cannot believe that this was a Chris Stokes/Marques Houston movie. This has got to be their best one yet. At first, I didn't think Trevor got what he deserved but then I realized that he was going to kill the 3 of them to get the insurance money. He was so smooth that I didn't think he would go to that extreme but he was so desperate for money for his company. My favorite of the 3 wives was Kelsey. She was the perfect one to take care of Olivia's daughter when she went to prison. If she hadn't been suspicious enough to follow Trevor they would have all been in the dark about each other and they most likely would have been murdered for money. This was a good movie.

Chris Stokes is the most dependable of all Tubi Originals directors. Between The Stepmother, Vicious Affair, Picture Me Dead, The Assistant and so many more movies, he's brought so much entertainment to us through Tubi.
In his latest movie, which he directed -- and wrote with Marques Houston -- Stokes introduces us to Kelsey Manning (Alisa Holiday), a woman who learns that her husband is living three lives. Instead of just putting up with his cheating or moving on, she connects with the other wives and they all plan revenge.
It all starts with Trevor (Daniel J. Johnson), her husband, being strung-up half-naked out a window. "I bet you wonder how we all got here, right?" She asks. Yes, we are wondering.
Life was good once. Trevor was the love of her life, "until he wasn't" as she reminds herself.
Our next wife is Olivia (Erica Pinkett), who also thinks that she's the only woman in Trevor's life. They even have fancy black and white photos of themselves together in the bedroom.
The film cuts back to the night of the surprise party, as Kelsey leads a blindfolded Trevor into a hotel room where he's confronted by Olivia and Naomi (Jadah Blue), the other wife. But before we meet her, we're at a conference meeting where he announces that his company, Turnstr, has reached a million subscribers and is going public. Then he sleeps with an intern named Kat.
This movie is filled with flashbacks as now we go back two months to meeting some of Olivia's friends at a wine place. He meets her friend Tracy's man, Steve, who is having a party to celebrate her. This wine bar just lets you grab bottles and pour your own, so I have no idea how you pay.
There's a flashback to Trevor meeting Olivia, so we're...I don't know how many flashbacks deep we are. But we're back at another wine bar, then we're back at Trevor getting hung out the window. And then we flashback another two months to another date with Trevor and Naomi, who wonders why she's never met his family. She asks if it's because she's a socialite and not someone who works for a living. He's also using a British accent when he's around her.
I can barely keep up with my wife much less three wives. How is that even possible for this guy? How much energy does he have? I'm exhausted and I'm just watching the movie and not living it. Also, now Trevor has a British accent with Kelsey. Did he always have a British accent? Am I losing my mind?
Now there's a two years ago flashback!
This movie is the Inception of Tubi Originals!
Now everything starts falling to pieces for Trevor, as he makes a breakfast meeting and a lunch one for the same day with two different women. In the same city. Are area codes even a thing these days?
We fast forward to all of the girls holding the ropes that have Trevor swinging above the pavement.
And then, if you can believe it, another flashback. Trevor seems to want to start planting seeds and having kids with these women and I have no clue how much energy this bigamist has. Maybe he just says these things to make them happy. I don't know. He does have an amazing kitchen. Several kitchens. How does he know where to sleep? How does he do taxes for three residences? Am I going too deep into the reality of this?
When it comes to Kelsey, he tells her a totally different story about why he can't have kids. Now he's not using the British accent, in case you're keeping track. He tells a story about his father dying from a drug overdose, but is that story true? How does he keep track of all of these lies?
It gets worse. Kelsey stopped using birth control hoping to have a kid with Trevor and when she told him she was pregnant, he made her have an abortion, which destroyed any chance for her to have children after. And now, as she confides in the other wives, he's hanging from a window crying.
Then the ladies start to fight, as Naomi thinks that she's the woman that Trevor picked. She doesn't want to go to jail for murder, but. The other two girls have a plan. Well, Olivia has the plan and she's the one that wants revenge. Trevor was the dream guy for all of them but he wasn't real. And he was married to all three of them.
I've lost track of the flashbacks.
This movie isn't even halfway over.
The big reveal is that Trevor has life insurance in all of the names of his wives and plans on cashing in. That's when the girls come together to lure him to the hotel we started this movie in.
I will say that this is the most involved Chris Stokes movie yet and I was with it for the whole trip. There's even some special effects at the end of this that are way past anything Stokes has done in his movies before, making this look like the most polished movie he's done yet.
I can't wait to see what he comes up with next.
