Overview

TV MovieThriller

It's been two years since Tina's husband-to-be, Brock, lost his first wife in a tragic accident. Everyone is thrilled to see Brock so happy with Tina, including his eight-year-old daughter Harper. It seems Tina's only obstacle to happily ever after is Joyce, Brock's former mother-in-law, who is determined to stop the marriage and keep Harper to herself. Joyce's attempts to disrupt the happy couple quickly escalate and it becomes clear that Joyce will do anything to keep Tina from walking down the aisle. Katie Leclerc and Catherine Dyer star.

Standout Aspects

Acting

Catherine Dyer's Joyce commits to unhinged like it's her Olympic sport.

Writing

Dialogue so on-the-nose it circles back to art.

Production

That house deserves its own credit. Midwest Gothic perfection.

Best for:Solo: Wine in hand, judgment suspended, living for the drama.·Friends: Group chat material. You'll be yelling at the screen.·Background: Perfect for folding laundry while gasping dramatically.
Heads up:Disturbing: Gaslighting, stalking, and manipulation of a grieving child.·Triggers: Death of a spouse/parent is central; recreated accident scenes.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This is peak 'Lifetime Movie Network' era—2017 was their golden age of 'crazy woman vs. bride' content, and this sits comfortably in the canon.

Trivia

Katie Leclerc is Deaf and typically uses ASL; her casting as a hearing bride in a non-Deaf role was unusual for her filmography at the time.
