Console best movie i've ever seen.
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
evening1 I had "Body Heat" deja vu at the end of this film when I saw Caitlin spoon-feeding ice cream to her stepson.While it seemed like first the father, then the son, were control freaks, Caitlin is the one who's sitting pretty with all the money at the end.Could she possibly have dreamed up this whole scheme when ultra-rich Rick was medivacked to her hospital with a life-threatening heart attack? The last scene leaves you wondering.I knew this Lifetime Movie Channel flick would be better-than-average when I saw it starred Rachel Ward, who'd already done some better than average noir thrillers. I know Terry O'Quinn strictly from the Stepfather movies, which I loved, but I was a little stunned to see him regressing to type when he realizes his wife is sleeping with his son.A couple of the plot twists are a little ridiculous. Did O'Quinn really expect Caitlin to wait till he came back while he went out to murder his son? And wasn't it a little bizarre to see Caitlin allowed to visit with her stepson unsupervised in a jail cell? I did like the romantic reunion of the pair -- when he devoured her spoonful of oatmeal (or whatever it was) and then her...I'm not ashamed to admit I watched this film twice to try to prove my "Body Heat" theory...I'm not exactly convinced, but I was never bored.
caa821 I'd give this one 6 *'s -- 3 or 4, per se, and a couple of additional ones for its fascination in its mediocrity, and because of Ward and O'Quinn in the cast.Like others here, even given its being filmed for basic cable, and not meaning to be overly-prurient, there could have been some steamier scenes between the gorgeous Ward and the hunky stepson, Morrow --- both age appropriate (often not so in this type of film), 40-ish and early 20's, respectively, and both immensely attractive. The director also could have elicited a bit more chemistry between the two.The ending is certainly silly, but then, most of the endings of these type TV flicks have silly endings, whether the crazy neighbor or babysitter wielding a kitchen knife, or some supposed "twist," revealing a surprise turn in terms of perpetrator/motive. The former can be anticipated from a "mile away;" the latter perhaps a "half mile," which was the case here.
nellysgirl This is the worst movie I have ever seen. I generally don't mind lifetime movies, they are a good way to pass the time on a rainy Sunday afternoon but this movie was pure crap. I remember the leading lady from Thorn Birds and the leading guy from The Young and The Restless, it's a shame they ended up with this crappy catastrophical disastrous attempt of a movie. I was embarrassed for those who starred in it.The plot was hideous and non existent, their accents were disturbing to say the least and the ending was just the worst one in history. I think this movie should inspire IMDb to start a top 50 worst movie list. To summarize my roommate, those were two hours of our lives we will never get again. Lifetime needs to do better than that movie and it was disturbing how it kept on getting crappier and crappier!!!! My goodness!!!!! This movie deserves a '-1' in my book, I hope I never cross paths with it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TxMike "Made for TV" is a pretty good synopsis, and the title, "My Stepson, My Lover" doesn't leave a lot to the imagination. ** some SPOILERS ** We find out during the murder trial that mom had died of an overdose, son blamed father, "Rich", and hated him. Along comes new, younger and attractive, wife who son seduces while she is helping him build a cabin on the lake while very wealthy father is traveling on business. Son makes sure father knows about it, gets him in a rage, kills him in a push onto the rocks, plants gun, gains a dismissal at trial, when his stepmom finds out truth is upset, and in a cheesy ending a brief struggle has son fall onto rocks, survives as a paraplegic, last scene she is shown feeding him ice cream, as a nurse also feeds him using a syringe and a tube down his throat.
