Escapade entre rivales

Deadly Mom Retreat. Another single, divorcee, or soon to be divorced woman movie. It must be a Lifetime rule. Another rule, does every movie have to have someone allergic to peanuts? The epipen is always missing. Rule number three: do all the friends have to overact and be so giggly? Did they have to have to dreadfully long obligatory confession at the end? About the final chase scene and climax ...stupid. Notice the pose of the woman after she fell...typical Family Guy pose. On the plus side: real snow! Even though it was midi, John Obercain's musical score was decently above average. As most of these movies are, full of criticism, they are still fun to watch. This was fun too.

Almost from the beginning I knew Christina Cox was the villain and about half an hour towards the end I guessed that she was Claire, Tom's ex-girlfriend. I did not like the ending though, because it seemed Tom genuinely wanted to put the family back together and had even broken things off with Claire. Jules should have gone back together with Tom and lived together as a family with their daughter Rosalie. For that the movie gets -2 from me!

Jules and her gal pals, Marissa and Karen, go to a weekend retreat called The Lodge to mingle and get away from stuff. Jules meets Zack who likes her but another woman named Georgia is also interested. Gradually, strange things start to happen to Jules with no explanation and we don't know who or why? You will be surprised at what happens. I sure was. Definitely recommended and would watch again.
