The acting is somewhat flat, the characters are typical, and the director loved their drone shots a bit too much... but hey, it does have some redeeming value.
The actors never convince you of their roles, which means you never feel attached to them or the story. Thom Wade (the good husband) is particularly boring, but Ethan Dupree (the bad husband) does add some tension at the end.
Theresa Wade (the good wife) is so good she manages to forgive her assailants despite numerous threats and having a gun pointed at her. Madison Dupree (the bad wife) is evil but she is being abused so you wind up having some sympathy for her.
They are all not very bright. Why did Madison sneak around the Wades' house in broad daylight, including driving right up in front of it? Why did the Wades take so long to get the idea to install a security system - and never thought to install cameras? When Madison Dupree realized she was probably going to be arrested soon, why did she choose to drive back over to the Wades' with a gun? When Theresa was over at the Duprees' house and received a message from her husband saying "HELP", why did she not text her neighbor friend to go check on him immediately? Dumb.
As stated, they definitely enjoyed employing their drone. We don't need that many flyovers through the neighborhood, guys.
On the other hand, the movie did have an overall nice look to it. I give it 4 stars because, well, it's not the worst and I was able to watch the whole thing.

Fairly predictable, but it's not the worst
Home of my dreams
This is the best movie to fall asleep to. I start watching it and immediately feel like I took a sleeping pill. The acting is bad, the flyovers are overused and the story is unbelievable. I know it's based on true events, but this has to be exaggerated.

Okay Wow... the opening sequence is a testament of complete affirmation of the choice made by so many of not having kids.
That being said, oh my. Which direction will this one possibly go????
Dear Lord...who writes this crap?
-1 Star for the Scene with the 'Love Letters'
-1 Star for Stupid Dialogue
-1 Star For the very stupid sexual assaulter scene
+1 Star For the Craziness of The Mother of The Year
Okay The Ending Was Cheesey but it was also Appropriate. Haha....
This one ends with a 3/10
