The Surrogate

Imagine if Handmaid's Tale was written by a stoned fish missing a quarter of its brain. That is this movie. The worst part was the "there's no possible universe where this love story would happen" unbearable ending. Dumb.

This production is just the latest in a string of "surrogate-as-victim" stories made (up) for television. Here, a kinky Hollywood couple get their surrogate pregnant and then pull out all the stops to terrify her. This lazy production features unknown actors. Hopefully, they will want to leave this bomb off their resumes.

This was one freaky movie that I wish I hadn't watched. The plot was all over the place with plenty of continuity flaws. Broke little girl becomes the surrogate for a washed-up actress and suspects she's in danger and tries to escape but the movie is badly written and badly acted. One of the worst Lifetime movies I had to sit through. Skip it..

I usually watch Lifetime to escape. It's going to be a little over the top and campy. This one started out like a romantic comedy and turned pretty quick. From inappropriate behavior to drug addiction, this realistic take on Hollywood celebrity lifestyle was spot on. I was on the edge of my seat. It of course has a couple of holes in the story (and I wonder why Olivia doesn't leave from the first time he hits on her) but the actors keep you engaged and it somehow works.
