Kellie Gibson is a widow longing to meet Mr. Wonderful who will open a new chapter in her life. When she meets Dan Smith on a dating ap, she believes that she has found her man! Of course, from the outset, it is clear that Dan is a sleazy scammer. At their first date, Kellie's brother Jack is immediately suspicious of the charmer entering his sister's life. Jack's questioning and ruthless probing of Dan over dinner was priceless. There was just the right element of camp in this story that could have been overly serious in exposing a psychopathic killer. The most outrageous choice was to make the predator Dan a skilled woodchipper in the disposal of his victims. There were some nicely developed characters and good twists in the screenplay. A catalyst for the action was the sudden appearance of a trio of characters in the mode of "Charlie's Angels" to come to the rescue of Kellie, who was incredibly slow in figuring out the true nature of the man of her dreams.

Kellie is a successful business woman who's husband has passed away a year ago and now is getting into online dating where she meets Dan. Kellie's brother is suspicious of Dan and looks into his past. There are lots of bad writing in this movie that make the characters look really stupid. Kellie had sex with Dan and that made her immediately stupid to the things he does to her. If your boyfriend or girlfriend takes your smartphone and replace it with one he or she bought for you that's a huge red flag. If you are meeting someone for the first time maybe you shouldn't greet them with a knife in your hand.

I'm used to the main character (s) in Lifetime movies being stupid, but this lady takes the cake!!! I don't know how much dumber she could be. Doesn't even deserve 1 star. I know they just use her irrationally running away -repeatedly - from the lady trying to warn her as filler and to create "suspense " (doesn't work). But why would a supposedly intelligent women run away from someone calmly trying to talk to her? Makes NO sense. Then lets Mr. Lover boy cancel her phone try to sell her house, isolate her and never goes to the doctor for her cough?!? So absolutely moronic. Haven't finished it yet but I hope the brother survives.

Wow to say that this movie was wild, would be putting it mildly, I kind of regret not paying much attention to it. Nowadays I don't really have much hope for LTMs, and know not to hold them to a standard that's too high and unrealistic for them to reach. With that being said, this film was like a roller coaster of events. But I must admit I saw the twist at the end coming a mile away. I had a weird feeling about Sasha from the start. Especially since she was the one who convinced Kelli to start dating again after her husband's death. So I knew she was in on Dan's plan. What I didn't see coming though was the ending (I won't spoil it here because it's definitely something that needs to be seen for yourself). Now to get to what I was talking about in the title, this was very similar to the 2021 Lifetime movie, "Fatal Fiancé". Where this woman named Lea was engaged to her fiancé Mark, the man of her dreams as she said. But then the fiancé's ex-girlfriend starts showing up in places and warns Lea not to marry him, and even kidnaps her at one point. But Leah didn't realize that Faith was telling the truth until it was almost too late. This movie was very similar to that. Though I thought that Kelli came off as naive and easily manipulated compared to Leah who began to have doubts about Mark towards the movie's climax. There were a couple of differences between the two movies though: * There were multiple women that Dan had manipulated, while Faith was Mark/Brian's only girlfriend before Leah. * Dan had an accomplice (Sasha), whilst Brian worked alone. * This movie did not have crazy and over-the-top editing like FF did. * This movie was filmed in Canada while FF was filmed in Los Angeles, California (probably not a big difference but one that I felt the need to point out) * Dan's plan was to scam Kelli of her life savings, while Brian just wanted to control and abuse Leah just like he did Faith. * And as aforementioned, Leah started to have a bad feeling abt Mark/Brian towards the end, while Kelli believed that Dan was innocent and Mona was the one who was dangerous until she revealed the whole truth to Kelli after kidnapping her. (Talk about ignoring the red flags!) Other than those six differences the similarities are pretty uncanny. Natalie Brown was excellent in this. I loved her in "Remember Me, Mommy?" And "Smart House Killer". Erin Agostino, who played Sasha was great too! The acting by the brother, Dan, and Mona were a solid 6/10. Overall I rate the movie a 7.9/10 and the acting a solid 7 stars. This was definitely better than Saturday night's movie that's for sure.
