Deranged Granny

Loved it! Another good Lifetime movie. (Some have been bad lately but a handful have been really good!). Excellent plot line and actors. Kept me guessing. An enjoyable watch. Check it out.

Horrendous acting, extremely weak and predictable plot with terrible "dramatic music". Had to turn it off. But wow, just wow, how did this get funding? It's so so bad.

This is not one of better lifetime movies, but typical one. I expected granny will be somewhat more extreme or more funny, but not the worst actor either. Gives us insight into how dangerous women, especially older ones can be. Reminds me of personal experiences with older women, especially in family and closer relationships, how can they do black magic, poison somebody, or damage somebody in other way due to more knowledge and experience. Actors are still amateur ones, but not the worst.

Grandma Dearest is one of those Lifetime popcorn movies where you just settle back, relax and enjoy. The acting isn't too bad and the story, while not over challenging, is interesting enough to keep you watching. The movie was well shot and the child actors were not annoying and some can be, especially in films like this. Not a classic, but just a bit of light thriller entertainment.

Wendy Malick in the starring role as Barbara, the psycho granny, whose son, Ethan, is dating divorcee, Kendall who has 2 children, Barbara desperately wants to be a grandma and she becomes a pest intruding on their lives always wanting to be around kendall's kids which really annoys her ex who shares joint custody of them. Granny Barbara wants all their attention and make sure she gets it and woe to anyone who tries and stops her! Good Lifetime movie with a decent script and well-acted. Definitely recommend.

Wendie Malick does a terrific job in "Deranged Granny". Her deadpan evil is great to watch. She could have easily gone over the top in this movie but she doesn't. She plays the character perfectly. Her supporting cast is also very good with standout work by David Baez and the dreamy Amanda Righetti. The strong performances is what makes "Deranged Granny" one of the best Lifetime movies of the year.
