Just Enough To Watch
tckingrocks16 July 2021
I understand where the movie wanted to go, but I had a hard time believing the characters. Although he was easy on the eyes, he really wasn't THAT charming. A touch more ambivalence or a little more discernment in at least one of the main female characters may have made this movie work for me. I also expected a more exciting climax. There was a chance for this awkward two step to finally go somewhere thrilling and believable, but the rising action in the film gets doused with water even before the flames get high enough for you to care. I would say it's still worth a watch because the deception in the film will cause you to have a reaction...and sometimes that's enough.

Pretty Chessy. But Somewhat Entertaining
Mehki_Girl16 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The 10 reviews about this movie being gripping must be part of the production.

As someone said, this was pretty cheesy and the love interest was actually creepy.

Mom and daughter were way too trusting. Not sure you can keep a business open being that gullible - keys to your house? The entertainment can use your computer? Get your phone passcode? Get caught taking pictures of your recipes and you shrug it off?

Oh come on!

And not once did anyone question why mom would be meeting some guy with no job and subletting an apartment who she's only known for a few months. What are the laws in that state about community property.

Everyone was an idiot.

If it's a slow day, you'll be mildly entertained and the movie does move quickly.

Lifetime Meets Netflix
vbg60916 July 2021
This movie could have been filmed at the Cheesecake Factory after hours. Everything is sooo predictable.

Sandra puts the Eve in naiveté. It's an hour and a half you'll never get back.

This guy.
nyc-nyxx13 July 2021
I just couldn't stand his whole demeanor and vibe and the stupid eye brows. And he's almost good looking if he doesn't speak, much less sing. I stopped 1/4 of the way thru, l it don't take my word for it. Great to fall asleep to!

Dumbest chicks ever
Asshole-6838316 July 2021
Seriously. These chicks were so dumb. They meet this guy and are just handing out personal info like its candy on Halloween. The storyline also made zero sense.

Comedy at its finest!
em-gliss1 January 2022
Wait, this was a comedy... right? It's unfortunate that they couldn't find an actor who can actually sing. Maybe next time! I'm hoping for a sequel. Fingers crossed.

Thriller? More like Trash
sabrinadoll26 August 2022
Dont know what netflix was thinking putting this movie on there platform lol what a absolute joke of a movie The producers that wrote this trash need to be fired from filmmaking permanently. This has to be one of the most cheesy stupid predictable romance lifetime dramas i ever seen in my life. And its a Disgrace they can even call this movie a thriller. The only thing this movie was a cheesy romance literally none of the characters were smart enough to have a brain too. The mom and the daughter were so dumb that they couldnt admit to eachother they were dating the guy how like dumb do you have to be? Lmao i cant believe i watched this. The entire plot was ridiculous and unrealistic. And the ending was even more of a slap in the face how was the mom so stupid to ignore the calls thinking its a tellmarker? When theres issues going on with your daughter? How does the guy allow himself to be knocked out? You cant write any dumber movies then this one.

Seriously considering not watching more Netflix movies
andricperez19710 August 2021
They're all the same. The beginning 99% of the movie is about the bad guy doing bad things and making people suffer.

The last 3-5 minutes are either the bad guy getting away with murder or dying a quick, painless death.

It's like they think the viewers are masochists.

These might be the stupidest characters in a movie ever.

Warning: Spoilers
Let me start off by saying I love these cheesy thriller type movies, but oof this one was damn awful.

I only even made it through the whole movie because I just wanted to see where these idiots ended up.

What kind of close mother daughter duo doesn't just tell each other the truth about who they are dating. And who in their right mind wouldn't tell their MOTHER they dated the same man! Is just one of the MANY bad decisions these idiots make.

Trash.

Kinda tame, somewhat lame, but will still entertain
mxsuba2618 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A tale of a handsome, guitar playing, suede moto jacket wearing creeper dude who targets sisters, and single mothers and daughters since he has some past personal conflict with his own mother and sisters. Posing as a freelance musician, creeper latches onto and seduces a sexy 50 something bakery running mother (Sandra) and her pretty daughter (Sophie) supposedly to get their recipes. He had previously done the same to two sisters running a music studio to get their songs killing one in the process. After posing as a street musician outside the bakery to get their attention, Mom and daughter take him in to play guitar and sing in his weak, nonthreatening voice at their bakery. They trust him immediately and by the next day he has the keys to their home and full access to their business where he searches their home and steals the computer passwords not so cleverly hidden under the keyboard and gets their iPhone passwords. Try harder, Mom. Too easy to find. He dates and beds them both at the same time and the women are so obtuse that they cannot figure it out they are dating the same dude. Cougar Mom has a young stud and daughter has a trendy millennial BF. Even when they both see each other coming home very late on alternate days and talking about a new mystery man they just met a few months ago they still do not realize it. Duh ladies, its the same guy.

Creeper con man is so fast with the excuses when he is caught in the act numerous times snooping or stealing that the women never catch on until it is too late. His motive is supposedly to take their bakery recipes as a way of getting back at women. Are recipes for pies and scones really that valuable? Guess so. He eventually forces a breakup with the daughter and proposes to the mother who is about 25 years his senior. But she bites and agrees to marry him just two days later. When the daughter finally figures it out, he brains her with a big rolling pin, zips her up in a body bag he just happened to have in his car and tosses her in the river outside of town. Like the Terminator, daughter survives the incident and catches a ride back into town with a long haired pickup driving bro only to confront Mom in her wedding dress about to get spliced with creeper. In the final battle, creeper is the recipient of a wack to the head by the daughter. Mom and daughter are friends again and all is well. Still pretty entertaining. No swearing, nudity or sex.

Cheesy, cliche & desperate.
mattfrancis-0396315 July 2021
So much cheese fitted into one. The way they get together made me want to throw up. Excess smiling, cheesy flirting, making a move after having food on the girls face I mean come on guys really this is terribly bad. The film is greatly predictable and I'm really disappointed with viewers for rating this a ten.

😂 OH MY GOD!
toddmichaelstarks2 August 2021
Lethal Love ( As Netflix calls it) absolutely deserves this rating of 10. They worked hard on this Comedy. Actually, I call it the "Comedy of the year". I laughed nonstop through out the whole movie and a couple hour's after. Lol. My lord, how anyone could take this movie, seriously) is beyond me. I feel more bad for the producer's for putting out their money on this melodrama laugh riot. How I made it through the whole thing is beyond me. "Lifetime's" Academy Award winner. Lol (see I'm still in tears). Honestly, this movie is so bad, it's good. A mother & daughter banging the same dude ( I know, it sounds like a porn) without the other one knowing was utterly ridiculous. Gee.. "Beverly Hill's 90210" nerd shows up sportin' those perfectly, groomed eye brows, and cheesey ass smile, acting like a cross between "Dylan McKay" and "Joey" from *NSYNC not to mention that shitty ass voice and terrible acting) is invited to jam out at the (one and only) "Sweet Surrender" hip ass "Coffee Beanery" style joint/whore house.. I guess;). Alway's jammed packed with 2 people and the poor register gal working her ass off, while mom & daughter are out blowing the entertainment. Not fair. Lol. The daughter not telling her mom "what was up" was totally ridiculous. Oh, and that ending.. so good...ha ha. Ya know, I have to stop here. I don't want to spoil the obvious. Enjoy the show!

The Dude is Cringe
amb-0313120 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Hallmark movie level entertainment. Random guy seduces a mother amd daughter baking duo. They apparently don't seem to notice the sketchiness of this guy. Weasling in on their business, getting private information, pitting mother against daughter. Do the writers think this low of women? Also, get a better leading man. Do a simple search and you'll see why the guy in this "film" runs it. Dude, stay in your lane. Keep to the Bachelor franchise. I actually loved the daughter. She's stunning and a pretty decent actress!

A fair attempt..
ts-000012 July 2021
However came across low budget,more like a stage production versus a movie.

Everything was average at best,but still have seen worse.

If you're bored,watch it & decide yourself.

Cheap and not so cheerful - do yourself a favour - read a book or get an early night.
seanq-4641619 November 2021
Pile of trash. Sorry but it's lousy. Clichéd, predictable, boring and corny. Just a waste of money. The cast is not that talented. Sorry, just how I see it. I hate ending a movie early but it felt kind of torturous.

Creepy In The Wrong Way
syringaisaflower31 August 2021
It starts off like a classic Lifetime movie, and it pulls you in, but it quickly takes a turn that tries to be menacing but just ends up making you feel like your covered in fire ants. It turns almost incestuous with the villain sleeping with both the mom and daughter. Im not sure what the women in the movie are supposed to see in the villain, and honestly he's not that bad until he starts to sing. Its not the worst movie I've ever seen and it still has plenty of the classic Lifetime movie elements. If your trying to kill an hour and a half this is a great way to do it.

I picked this gem out of how many other movies?
vaifan77726 August 2021
Whew. I actually watched the entire show. Even fast forwarded the end credits to see if there was 1 more corny crumb left hidden. Man did this movie ever lay on the CheezWizz. So much in fact I kept watching to see how the next scenes could out do the previous. How they ever managed to cram that much artificial Wizz in a can is impressive. Half the time I was just staring @ the cute daughter not even paying much attention to dialogue. But when dude's scenes came on I had to listen for the laughs.

This is more like a channel 5 afternoon movie. Not one I'd want to watch again but it was okay.

One more star for Netflix
AnnPanders3 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Okay, here's the premise. A 26 y/o and her 52 aged mother open a bakery. A sexy 32 y/o pro singer with a early Mickey Rourke vibe shows up and starts playing at the bakery. Both the mother and daughter fall in love with him without even knowing he's two-timing. So he breaks it off with the DAUGHTER to marry the MOTHER?!?!?! Oh, and these women never did a background check on him. Stupid characters, stupid decisicions, and a most predictable ending. Just bad.

I'm sorry, but if I were as close as I am to someone and this trouble it is doing, I would side with my friend/relative over some random guy I've only known a few months. So it's totally unrealistic. Very Lifetime to get the conflict in. I watched it to the end, and it's not the worst, but does the bar have to be so low?

Actors really shine
adamoran13 July 2021
Great performances in this movie. It seems to be filmed during covid which led to a small cast of characters but they really made the most of it.

Gripping, thrilling and entertaining.
mantharyan14 July 2021
The film grabs you from the moment the mother daughter pair meet the charming but mysterious musician. Watching the build up of relationships that quickly turn toxic is gripping. Thrilling to watch the mother daughter be manipulated by the cunning killer. Must watch.
