Another passing TV thriller LifeTime Lately, LifeTime has become packs of churning out films about mentally unstable people, whether they are women or men. The quality of these products leaves much to be desired, because these pictures leave much to be desired because absolutely everything is bad in them - from the script to the actors' play. The Work Wife, directed by Michael Feifer, unfortunately suffered the same fate.
In the center of the plot is a certain Sean Miller, who gets a copywriter in one of the prestigious advertising firms. As assistants, he is assigned an employee Jen - a beautiful dark-haired woman who will just play the role of an insidious tempter. Having collected all possible clichés from such films, the creators of this project endowed the main character with a difficult past - married, but the marriage is bursting at the seams due to the fact that the spouses do not succeed in having children. In general, despite the fact that Sean is married, Jen begins to show him signs of attention and soon a slight flirtation turns into an obsession.
The fact that the film was shot solely to fill a free chunk of time on the TV channel, can be seen immediately from the first frames - very scanty interiors, weak acting, the absence of any intrigue and unimaginably boring narrative.
Michael Feifer plays frankly bad, absolutely not trying and apparently knowing that the movie is clearly passable and will be shown on TV later in the day. His colleagues in the workshop Serina Vincent and Elizabeth Arnois seem to be trying to show a more or less normal acting, but in some places they still greatly overplay or vice versa. Although we must give credit to the fact that the image of the temptress from Mrs. Vincent still turned out, but here her beautiful appearance and figure played more. The heroine of Arnois was absolutely ordinary and uninteresting.
The script is teeming with ridiculous and illogical moments, the musical accompaniment seems to be, but somewhere there is quite on the backs, frankly weak directing.
As a result, we have absolutely passable, uninteresting, painful, weak and inexpressive TV film, which you can safely miss.
5 out of 10 (yes, for Serina Vincent)
