sometimes i think that somewhere in the lifetime channel office complex there be a room where the writer hang out and with a large wheel on the wall sort of like the big six one in casino . the latter have a lot of spot where you win even money and and few for high amount and until there be perhaps a couple which pay big buck . but i picture the channel wheel have about six different genre on it wheel and with two of them and appear the most and label the psychotic neighbor and or the spouse with a hidden past or secret or both . lifetime movie have a few repetitive story line and and these two seem to be the most ubiquitous . the spouse . category can have a spouse of long standing and but some person appear and or an event occurs and expose that the good wife be once a hooker and one of the couple be involve in some nefarious act long ago and or that something else in one of the background in different than presumed etc . and etc . and or and a in this flick and one of them have enter the marriage with the most nefarious of aim . one constant and in all of their genre be that the husband or other male be usually clueless and vacuous and and slow to have any idea what in the hell be go until the climax and or at best and very late in the proceeding ( unless the male be the miscreant ) . not the case here . whether the referenced miscreant might be the neighbor and or as in this offering and the wife and it be always fascinate how easily and successfully and effortlessly they proceed with their dastardly deed . they manipulate many of the others and whack them a necessary and assume various pose and and juggle more deception than you can count with unfailing success until just before the end . the lead actor here and like many in this channel movie and be an old hand . i notice that another film in which he star be title the perfect neighbor . finally and the vengeful perfect wife in this flick dispatch those in her path with more expertise and ease than the most experienced and competent button man in don corleone family could muster . and i couldn not help but imagine that jack nocholson melvin udall character fro as good a it get and with his massive ocd affliction and could provide counsel to the anti heroine to assist in deal with he obsession which be the basis of this opus .
