TheBlueHairedLawyer Hailey is a teenager who lives a life on the run with her mother in the southwest United States. Her mom is the subject of a nation-wide manhunt and has done grand theft, credit card fraud and identity theft, among other things. When she gets married to a seemingly nice guy, Lucas, he quickly becomes a monster addicted to drugs and alcohol and Hailey's mom murders him with the help of her bimbo ranch-hand, Krista.While 'Lies My Mother Told Me' is entertaining, it is annoying to watch, mainly because of the mom's fake southern accent, when she speaks it is headache-inducing. Some of the lines in the movie are pretty dorky, one example being, "I had a bad dream last night, but that doesn't make me a psychic. It was the same dream I had every night." from Hailey, who also narrates the film. No one in real-life talks that way so it's hard to take seriously. The character Krista is highly annoying, one of those prissy dog lovers who think their dog is their 'fur-child' and it's disgusting to have to see her kiss the dog. The acting wasn't very good, I think the best was the actor who played Lucas. The soundtrack was okay but there was a song they kept repeatedly playing, this annoying country song that just gets on your nerves. As in most Lifetime movies it has highly dramatized so it is very hard to take seriously. I honestly didn't care what happened to any of the characters. They all had very little personality; I think the only thing listed is that Hailey likes horses. This is one of those movies you'll only want to see once, just to pass the time, it isn't very good.
angus1692 Well i loved this movie. i should warn you now my spelling is not very good but should be OK. here goes! i saw this movie on cable. i didn't think it would be very good but turns out it was really good. And based on true stories! Very interesting and i think there are messages in there, things people should notice. i wont give it away but you really need to watch this film! This is only 99mins long but is fantastic! i really do believe so. The mother, Laren Sims is a con artist, master of disguise and moves from state to state with her young daughter until the hit Vegas Nevada! She marries a wealthy Atterney and has some problems. the mother just wanted her child to have a good education and not end up like her. and the marriage has some problems like when he gets drunk, and he finds her past and so she decides to well, get rid off him!
Bob Peterson This movie was directed by Christian Duguay who also directed "The Art of War." I heard that this movie was "inspired by true events." Which I thought was pretty interesting! It had Joely Richardson (Nip/Tuck) and Hayden Panettierre who, at a very young age, has been in a lot of movies! I found myself into the characters pretty good. At first, I liked the mom but I didn't like the fact that she lied all the time. Later on in the movie, you really kind of hated the mom who turns on her daughter and ends up lying to her as well! This is one movie that I thought was going to be awful but actually ended up being decent enough to watch! If you like a good drama, watch this one!!
P3charmed the story itself isn't all its cracked up to be. But the fact that its based on actual events gives it power. Joely Richardson carries the movie as a fugitive mother, who along with her young daughter, leaves a trail of warrants across the country. When she settles with a wealthy attorney, her past demons come back with a vengeance.Though its very much a "Lifetime" movie, it has a nice sense of freshness to the genre. There are a few plot twists that seem to never get explained in full, but its a Lifetime Original, so you get that you pay for..If you're in on a Friday night, or you're a fan of Joely, i recommend it.
