Party Mom (2018 TV Movie)
2/10
Plot is crap
14 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Jackie sells alcohol to some kids. Four of them get into a car accident and only one survives. The survivor, Brittany, is a friend of Jackie's daughter, Ashley. Meanwhile, Jackie is arrested, but somehow gets off scot free in court. I'm just gonna get to the part where the plot starts.

A masked intruder, implied to be one of the dead kids' parents, breaks into Jackie's home and kills Ashley in revenge. Kill the woman's daughter. Because that'll definitely bring your own child back, right? Anyways, Gary, who was snooping around Jackie's house for some reason, enters the home and finds Ashley dead. The cops come and arrest him because they think he killed her.

The next day, the Thompsons find out who the real killer is. It was indeed one of the dead kids' parents; Sasha's father to be exact. Gary is released from jail, but guess what happens to the Sasha's father? Nothing! So Jackie goes over to Brittany's house to kill Gary, not knowing he's innocent, and runs into Caroline, Brittany's mother, who doesn't even bother telling her who the real killer is, but instead decides to scold her for selling alcohol to minors. Yeah, instead of telling a grieving mother who her daughter's killer really is, she decides to antagonize her. This of course leads to Jackie pulling a gun (close to Caroline who tries to disarm her). Gary comes in, takes the gun, and punches Jackie in the face.

We're treated to the usual Lifetime epilogue that shows the hero living their best life, with the villain rotting in prison. Yes, Jackie is shown in her cell crying and asking to be released. What a horrible ending, even for a "villainess". Jackie didn't even get a chance to bury her daughter. The worst part is that the movie makes it seem like Ashley deserved to be murdered to teach Jackie a lesson. 2/10
