The 19th Wife

BeckyLyn (Patricia Wettig) is arrested for killing her husband Sawyer Scott. She's his 19th wife in a Mormon sect.

It's a good thing that no one pays extra for Lifetime to be included in their cable-channel bundle (do they?) because this film was a complete waste of time -- it was 87 minutes that I'll never get back, and I'm not happy about it.

A reviewer claimed details were invented for dramatic effect. Actually, abuse and terror are common in the most secretive clans.

Having not read the book, I watched this to see Matt Czuchry from The Good Wife. Unfortunately, he doesn't play a man with many wives but one who was exiled as a teenager from the polygamist sect.

I make a point of avoiding these "made for TV" films as this one clearly is. But every now and again I pander to the wife's (singular ;)) film taste.

The acting was surprisingly good except for the character Five. She was so obnoxious and her character was unbelievable that she portrayed a girl raised in a sheltered society.

What was Matt Czuchry thinking when he made this awful film? By the way, how is the last name of this wonderful actor from "The Good Wife" pronounced?

The acting isn't terrible and that's about the only thing you can say.If you read the book, you'll hate this movie as they've gutted it (and not just the "heterosexualization" of Jordan).

This was pretty good, an interesting story surrounding a polygamist wife (the 19th) who is accused of murdering her husband. With a life sentence looming her excommunicated son returns and enlists the help of another sect wife (and former flame) in the hopes of exposing the real culprit.
