The Wrong Woman (2013) Reviews

• The whole case should've been thrown out of court.

  I just watched this movie on lifetime 9/19/14. I was yelling at the TV practically the whole movie! Her whole case should've been thrown out of court! She wasn't properly mirandized! She's questioned by the officers in interrogation, she asks to call her husband, next thing you know they tell her that her bond is $500,000 and they are locking her up! Her lawyer was a joke and should've known that right from the beginning. Another thing! She was the wife of a police officer! She didn't have any knowledge of correct police procedures. Seems like her husband taught her nothing about how to handle police matters or correct procedures. She should've told her lawyer that she wasn't properly mirandized and any evidence obtain thereafter would be thrown out. In fact, the whole case should've been thrown out on a technicality! Her husbands behavior seemed off to me. He seemed like he didn't really care if she went to prison. I suspected him at first. I was correct that he was screwing around. Anyway, had to get this off my chest!

  This diverting piece of nonsense is genuinely entertaining in its bland simplicity. Danica McKellar is a happy suburban housewife with a decent job, a beautiful child, and a husband who is a police officer. Everything is hunky dory. Little does she know (although the viewer guesses immediately) that trials and tribulations lay just around the corner. A woman is beaten to death with a tire iron in the same parking lot used by McKellar. Circumstances build up against her. Her hair was found on the victim's body. An eyewitness saw her cleaning blood from a tire iron before disposing of it. She's arrested and thrown in jail. Her husband, not knowing what to think, packs up without warning and leaves with their pretty little girl, whose mind he subsequently poisons against her. She's suspended from her job. So far -- and throughout -- the story is archetypal: a woman falsely accused, gossiped about, deserted by everyone, empowers herself, defeats her enemies, and finds true love. That's it, in a nutshell, but a few more details are worth while. First, all men are beasts. They're all smug, arrogant, and hateful. The only male who actually comes across as an actor is a former football player, Fred Dryer, who takes his time to work through his oversimple character. He's almost the only believable performer in the movie. And I don't say that just because he and I share an alma mater. Well, there is one more relatively subtle performance, and convincing too. The witness who falsely claims that McKellar assaulted her with a music stand in high school. I think her name is Jennifer Blanc. She should have been the lead. McKellar herself is cute enough and has a neat figure but the role compels her to act dumber than she turns out to be, and her voice is a strident version of a Valley Girl's. About two thirds of the way through, the helpless heroine, adrift in an antagonistic world, inexplicably finds herself and demolishes the case against her with confidence and aplomb. The end.

• Sorry, Wrong Woman is the Right Picture ****

  Was there a total police cover-up regarding what happened? With the exception of that flaw, we have a wonderful picture here of a working housewife whose life is turned upside down when she is accused of assaulting a woman, the latter now comatose as a result of the attack. From the beginning, it appears that the police are going out of their way to prove her guilty. Ditto for an alleged incompetent attorney for her defense who does nothing for her, and actually turns on her as the trial proceeds. It is only when the woman is aided by someone from legal aid, and defends herself, that the tide changes. There are continuously good plot twists. Her policeman husband really comes off as a sleazy character. Very good film, worth watching.

  I do not agree with the other negative reviews. I thought the movie was very good and would recommend highly. I thought the acting by Danica McKellar was great considering the majority of the movie was centered on Danica portraying her strong acting skills in this movie. She played her emotional parts in the movie extremely well and played her part in the court room defending herself to the point she spoke better than most lawyers especially the overweight joker lawyer her husband had retained to represent her. I must admit I did not suspect the female cop as being the one behind the attack on the prostitute in the garage. I knew the man who played her husband was guilty of having an affair with another woman but I did not put it all together until the end.

  I thought Danica was great in this movie. The movie itself had a great cast, was great seeing "Hunter" back on TV. I have to say the story lagged a little midway and could have used a little more suspense and a little more drama but all the actors were fantastic it's definitely something I enjoyed watching on a Saturday night!! I thought it was very interesting watching with the perspective of the lead character, it sort of made you feel as helpless as the character felt, and kept you wanting to see someone stand up for her. The lead character taking charge was wholly satisfying. It was someone taking control of their own fate I loved that aspect of the movie!! It wasn't a summer blockbuster but it was a great lifetime movie, it's the reason I love watching.
