I've watched some bad movies on LMN, this one is the worse. The storyline was interesting, but there were many dumb parts. I didn't understand how the cop was so obsessed with having a baby, that after stealing one and getting caught after several years, she said she would rather kill the child and her twin rather than returning them to their parents. That's not love. That's obsession and ownership. Why did she want a child. The best part of this movie was the father meeting the missing twin and holding both girls I his arms.

No Other Lifetime Movie Can Top This!...As The Worst Ever
blroth-2791929 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I've seen a lot of Lifetime Movies and have yet to see one as bad as this. When my husband and I watch Lifetime Movies, "The Missing Twin" is the gold standard of comparison when ranking the worst of the worst. In our opinion, none of the ones we've seen are even remotely as bad as this! Bad acting, lame characters, and bad one-liners are packed into this film, and ludicrously unbelievable things begin to happen in the last 20-30 minutes of the movie.
SPOILER ALERT below: The movie starts out with lots of potential. I wasn't sure if it was going to be a psychological thriller, horror with ghosts/haunting, or grief/depression/coping drama. I wanted to figure out what was going on. My first instinct was to think the "missing twin" was still somehow alive, but didn't know how.
As soon as that mystery was solved, everything went downhill. In the last 20-30 minutes of the film, too many crazy things happen. The mom takes down an armed cop and her armed sister using only children's outdoor toys (i.e. Bean bag, boomerang). At one point, the bad cop is shot only one time, but appears fine and is talking coherently. Then without any explanation, we randomly see her being rolled away on a gurney as they are covering her with a tarp. So I guess she died??? Lots of slow motion running through a foggy forest. Bad camera angles. Boomerang. Weird flashbacks. Like, literal what?
Did I mention the main character/mom is a mommy blogger? Her blog helps her save the day in more ways than one. Also that's how she's so knowledgeable about her weapons of choice (outdoor toys) which she happily whispers the product specifications to herself before use. Note: this movie was released in 2021 but her blog looks more like it's from 2001. Eeeekkk.
Watch this movie please! You'll get some good laughs and you can tell everyone about this insane movie you watched. Great conversation starter. And one more plus...you'll be able to say you've seen Lifetime's worst movie ever. Let's check it off the bucket list!

OMG- Who Writes This Drivel
hoops-5343613 April 2022
We have seen almost all the Lifetime movies and we have to search diligently through LMN, LMC, and Lifetime to find ones we have not seen.
We sat down this afternoon to watch "Missing Twin." The concept is intriguing- this could have been made into a very good movie. Emphasize "could have been." Too many unbelievable things happen. The coincidental scene of the twins sitting side by side at a little day care area. Come on. And then, of course, the sheriff could not be an attractive woman, had to be overweight and plain, to emphasize she was bad.
My wife was telling me this was the worst LMN movie we have seen and I kept telling her that there have been worse...and then, and then, the boomerang scene happened and- yes- that confirmed it was the worst ever.
Would have given it negative stars but we can't go lower than one.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS ONE- make better use of your time by unclogging a drain, or fixing that pipe under your sink...or or or ANYTHING ELSE!!!!

Who wrote and directed this trash?
krazygirl_054 June 2022
The choppy editing. The lack of any actual tension. It literally looks like a stream of consciousness strung together with horrible acting and a weird cop fetish. The camera kept shaking. It doesn't feel like a movie at all. I never write reviews but I feel people need to be warned about this movie. It's simply terrible. I'm trudging through it, waiting for something to happen. My mom has already passed out from boredom.
Lame low budget LMN movie

Great watch! Interesting topics to explore. Recommend

This film was so intriguing! How twins can telepathically communicate each other, and the strong maternal bond are fascinating topics - especially in an exciting thriller! The minute I walked into the film, I loved that growing feeling that something was wrong in behind the facade of this family's seemingly ordinary, happy life. I also liked the balance of the funny elements and thriller elements that worked well with each other and kept you engaged in the story without feeling disconnected. A great watch!!
Stinker even by Lifetime standards.
halkatla-6266922 August 2022
I love lifetime thrillers even though they usually have bad actors, ridiculous scripts and the same storylines over and over again. However, this movie takes all those ingredients to such extremes that it stops being funny. Every single sentence that is spoken by the characters is annoying and/or stupid. And it´s also quite boring for the first hour. All the characters are beyond ridiculous, but I guess if you watch the last half hour as a comedy, it could be fun. Maybe it was supposed to be a joke? The ending seems to suggest it.
My family enjoyed our weekend movie time!

LOVED IT!! This is a family-friendly movie that we all enjoyed over the weekend during our hangout family time. Our kids enjoyed it because they loved getting spooked by the scary suspense building up during the film. It did a great job getting us hoooked and leaving us feeling like we'd shared something special. The relationship between Jenny and Connor reminds me a lot of my relationship with my own husband: a strong bond yet sometimes we feel the need for a deep understanding of each other. And honestly, I feel like this family's life is something we can all relate to and see parts of ourselves in. Kudos to writer/director Julia Pierrepont and her talented cast and crew for creating that resonance! I definitely recommend it to other families for their weekend movie night!
Interesting twists... A well made film!

I just saw this last night - a very cool watch! It's not the scariest movie ever, but, unlike alot of thrillers, it affected me deeply and took me on an interesting journey. It was very well cast and directted and the pace really worked. I love films that use the kind of eery, tense atmosphere that builds and builds as you anticipate the ending! Plus, the slow, artful reveal of the truth during Jenny's personal investigation and the cool plot twists kept me totally into it till the great rollercoaster ending! A definite thumbs up!

This movie was fabulous and the cast that was set for it was awesome. I'm a very big Lifetime movie fan, and I love the movies about either childbirth issues, missing children, kidnapped children or babies stolen. Lifetime really knows how to keep me interested and on the edge. Actor Josh Murray played an important role as being a good husband, he was hurt deep down about the loss of his other twin daughter. But his character showed that although he was hurting inside, he also wanted to forget and didn't want it to break up his family. And of all the people to be the critical suspect, was the sheriff of the town. I'd like to see Josh Murray in a lot more movies playing the role of a law enforcement officer, But more as a high top official.
