Her Perfect Spouse (2004 TV Movie)
7/10
The Truth About Ty
12 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Lisa Dorian was a perky investigative reporter given the assignment of interviewing a famous mystery writer, Tyson (Ty) Kennington. It was love at first sight for the couple, and Lisa believed that she had finally found her soul mate. She was wrong.

Far from being the perfect husband, Ty was a controlling and insanely jealous spouse. When Lisa lands a plum job on a radio program with her old colleague Matt, Ty cracks Matt over the skull with a tire iron during a jog, landing him in the hospital in a coma. When Lisa becomes pregnant, Ty cannot bear the prospect of competition and begins administering roofies to Lisa that will induce a miscarriage. When Lisa's bestie, Penny, has concerns about her friend, Ty stabs her to death.

A flaw in this overly unpleasant film was that Lisa was a sharp, quick-thinking investigative reporter, yet she failed to see the danger signs of her deranged husband. Even at the start of their marriage, an odd scene occurred when Ty was thinking through one of his mystery plots and was holding a gun in his hand and pointing it at Lisa! Yet, she seemed unconcerned about her husband's conduct.

One of the most interesting characters is Lisa's sister Beverly. Bev has had a problem with alcohol, and she has recently separated from her beau Adolfo. After Ty intentionally gets Bev drunk and attempts to kiss her, Bev tries to warn Lisa, who again fails to truly listen to her sister and see the feckless nature of her husband.

In the end, Bev was relentless in pursuing the truth about Ty. She then rescued her sister. Lisa is able to return to her radio program called "In Your Face." By this time, the naive and unsuspecting reporter has learned a life lesson about the two faces of Ty and the undying love of a sister.
