Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsRestraining orders in Washington state begin as Temporary orders where as there is typically a ten to fourteen day order enforced before both parties have the opportunity in court regarding a permanent order (typically 1 or 2 years in duration) and its issuance. A judge would never issue a permanent order knowing both neighbors homes buttress each other or their children attend the same school. The order would typically be twenty feet or so and have no verbal contact. The plot holes in this movie only serve to make it believable in move reality but certainly nothing like this happens in real life.
Featured review
If this is what a typical United States housewife spends their free time doing (screwing with their neighbors) than no wonder there is mass exodus to get out of the USA. Actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler (From the Sopranos) plays Karen Morgan. Karen, her supportive husband Scott (Geoff Gustafson) and their ten year old son just moved into their dream home so that Scott can start his new job and live a good life with his wife and son. Karen and Scott are trying to survive the recent death of their six week old daughter and so moving to a new community is considered part of their healing process.
Karen's new neighbor Lisa Beasley (Jenn Lyon from Claws) shows great empathy towards Karen as both ladies share in the recent loss of a newborn child. But wait, Lisa is not who Karen initially thought she was. Far from it, Lisa is a whack job and pathological liar who does not take kindly to anyone who has good things happen to them such as when Karen decides to go back to work as a realtor in her community.
I can understand that Karen ignores the earliest indicators that something is wrong when Lisa keeps suddenly appearing at her door with a multitude of excuses for being weird, but what Lisa really should be diagnosed with is an antisocial personality disorder and if you ever had a neighbor that strikes you as just weird, then that's the neighbor where "good fences" make the best neighbors.
Our children are our most precious gift, and when our neighbors start screwing with our family then it is time to stop that sociopath behavior immediately. This movie is by no means a dramatic EMMY winner, but it should remind all parents (mom and dads and big brothers and big sisters) to look out for your own family and know the signs that when a neighbor starts interfering with your own families well being than it may be time to keep your distance from your interfering neighbor and as a last resort, move before it is too late.
