Freaktana A Major Disappointment

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

seadolfin I agree the storyline is much over done, movies with similar story lines but these movies would not be successful ifs its not hitting home base, truth is this happens so often in reality and i'm sure alot of times women wish they could be like Karen. I thought the acting was pretty good, kept me at my screen not wondering off to the fridge like i usually do.

guil fisher With no thanks to the leading lady Annie Heise, not to be confused with Anne Hesch also a bad actress. This one is as boring and uninteresting to watch as the other one. From the beginning to the surprise ending she sort of wandered from set to set and obviously attempting to frame a guy she slept with that turned out to be her best friend's husband. As a stupid amateur sleuth, she screws everything up and makes one mistake after another. The police should have arrested her for interfering with their work.But no, this bimbo keeps getting in everybody's hair, drugging the guy she suspects, not informing her best friend of her husband's infidelity and generally snooping in everybody's business. Meantime, she supposed to be working. All of us are hoping she gets knocked off.

Geeky Randy While coping with the events following a car accident caused by her, recovering alcoholic Heise moves to Shelter Hills to rekindle with longtime friend Anderson, who has offered her a position at a firm. Things appears to be patching up nicely, especially when she meets dreamboat Cupo at the grocery store parking lot. Not only does he turn out to be a candidate in the county elections, he is also turns her friend's husband… oh, yeah, and a suspect in a murder investigation. Does a pretty decent job with the twists and turns, and the acting is better than most Lifetime Movies. Like of lot of these types, there is an overload on characters for the mere purpose of having lots suspects, a crutch to distract us from piecing things together too easily. Definitely worth the watch if you are completely bored or have a taste for cheap TV-movies.**½ (out of four)

wes-connors 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
