We all know Lifetime. For some of us it's like watching The Comedy Channel. The formula is always the same: young, attractive people you've never seen before in one of the two or three plots Lifetime uses.This one, The Good Mistress from 2014 is one of the pack. Sandy Cooper (Anne Heise), a recovering alcoholic on five years probation, who has a beautiful figure and beautiful hair, moves to a small town and takes a job at her best friend's (Kendra Anderson) law firm. She meets a guy (Antonio Cupo) right away and sleeps with him on the first date (if you don't count him running into her at the coffee place a date).Just one small problem, which she finds out later. Her best friend is married to him. It gets worse. Okay. First of all, why she would take an apartment with that sleaze landlord is beyond me. Second, she meets her best friend's husband who asks her out on a date? Sing one verse of "Small World, Isn't It." And of course there is the ubiquitous parking garage scene. We all know how women like to go into them alone.At the last minute something elevates this film from a D to a C-. And for Lifetime, that's not bad.

In the opening scene, an attractive blonde is pursued and killed by a camera-shy assailant. We quickly learn this occurs in the desolate woods of a small town called Shelter Hills. Coincidently, another pretty blonde arrives in town, from Michigan, pulled over by cute officer Jeremy Guilbaut (as Grady Williams). Intending to start a new life, former alcohol abuser Annie Heise (as Sandy Cooper) maimed a lad while drunk-driving and was deprived of her family fortune in a resulting lawsuit. However, she has accepted responsibility and wants to stay off the sauce. A paralegal, Ms. Heise gets a job courtesy of her old school-mate Kendra Anderson (as Karen), who also took to Shelter Hills. Her tall, dark and handsome husband Antonio Cupo (as David Waterford) is running for county supervisor. This is strictly production-line TV movie story-telling, from director Terry Ingram and the crew. What's "Good" is that is concludes in under 85 minutes. Heise doesn't qualify as a "Mistress" and the fact that a character chooses to date her in the town's most public places – including the local coffee shop and bar – is ludicrous.**** The Good Mistress (2/15/14) Terry Ingram ~ Annie Heise, Antonio Cupo, Kendra Anderson, Jeremy Guilbaut

Plenty of excitement here with a totally shocking unexpected ending. You will be amazed here when you discover who commits the murders. Just goes to show you that all wayward people in their marriages can't be necessarily suspected when foul play occurs.A young lady in college loses her parents while talking to them on the phone via an auto accident. This sets her in a downward spiral and she receives probation for driving drunk and hitting a youngster, not fatally, while he was on a bicycle. She reunites with an old friend and moves to the latter's town.Before she can meet the friend's husband, go know that he would turn up in a local supermarket looking for action. He comes on nicely but when he finds out who she is after their one-night stand, he threatens reprisal.With the murders and mayhem occurring, everything points to the guy, an aspiring politician as the culprit, but as I stated, we were in for quite a surprise.Well-done, interesting story.

This movie totally sucked and there was no plot. there was a bad acting job. where did they come up with the storyline? the storyline was totally awful, and the wife committed all the crimes? Who would believe that? and who would make the husband the fall guy for all of the problems? That is just totally awful. To make everyone believe that you didn't know anything and that you act like nothing is wrong when in reality you know about your own husband's affairs. No wife would ever do anything terrible such as this. Save your time and don't watch this movie, this is a bunch of crap. This movie should not even be put on DVD, and if you thought safe haven was so bad this is worse than Safe Haven. this so cliché, the same storyline over and over? oh get a new theme people, like the wife don't know anything? get a new storyline people.
