Oh, Come On!!!
hoops-534368 May 2021
The movie was all right. But we had to say "Oh come one" when Peyton gave a little shove to Mr. Feldman and he went down so hard that he went into a coma. That's nuts, a big strong guy like him and a shove from a little petite girl. Come on!

I gave the movie an extra two stars for Lili Sepe. She was really good as the not-so-contrite but yet suspicious daughter.

Perfect Movie? Ehhh
tomfsloan30 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Perfect Mother? Not perfect, but a pretty good mother in an almost good movie. The good thing was there was always something happening. The evil girl managed to get away with everything she did. What a great conniver she was. Quite a few simple yet corny factors, but the movie was entertaining, as are most lifetime-esque movies. Typical stupid climactic fight at the end. The movie rule is NEVER look at the bad guy after you knock them down. If you did, you might see them get up again.

Pretty good

The Perfect Mother turned out to be pretty good. It is an average lifetime movie with the same type of plot as many others. The two young actresses in it did a really good job In both of their roles. This one contained seduction and murder.

LIked the way things unfolded

The pretty psycho is an orphan who kills her stepmother and fixates on a perfect mom blogger played by Susan Mabrey. It's quite fun to see how she worms her way into the life of her perfect mother. Her slightly difficult daughter is less accepting. The ending is quite exciting and satisfying in a Lifetime Thriller way.

Just ok

Warning: Spoilers
Why can't this girl just be obsessed with having a perfect mother? Why is it necessary to kill? This movie does not justify her motivations. Also, come on...she knocks out two men with ease and of course attacks the woman whose house she invades. It's unbelievable that this movie has given her super strength. Why would the other adult (Harper) just run? Defend yourself against this KID.

Also, why would the mother be allowing this girl to push herself into her life when her daughter is not that thrilled? Just because you are having bonding issues with your daughter, doesn't mean you need to get your adoration from a strange kid. This mother is not very intuitive.

I FF through to the climax. Watch it once if you're needing background noise.

Typical Lifetime thriller fare

Trying to identify the opening song is much harder than not finding it.

She's MY Mom!
LaverneandShirleysucks30 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Peyton is a murderous psycho teen with a really bad dye job and says the word "actually" in almost every other sentence. After she offs her rough looking step mommy by poisoning her with birthday cake, she sets her psycho sights on getting a new mommy for herself.

Even though she's 18 and an adult, this whack job still needs to have a mother to love and will kill anyone in her path to make the mommy of her desire all hers...and even eliminate her real daughter by framing her for murder to get her out of the way.

It was an ok movie even though everything was predictable, and the wine opener scene was not believable because the police would have listened to the woman instead of just hauling her away lol.

Even the daughter knew right away her story was bogus and that she's a psychotic nut job, but of course in these Lifetime films the mother rarely listens to reason until it's too late.

Acting was good all around and I loved the daughter Shay who didn't fear the psycho and knew how to put her in her place when she realized what her creepy intentions were. I loved the scene where she got in her face and told her off.

It built up to a good climax as everyone caught on to the psycho which caused crazy Peyton to snap. I give it a solid 8.
