My Husband's Worst Mistake (2023 TV Movie)
7/10
Comic Book Style Film
24 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
It is clear that Kent Watts' worst mistake was a one-night stand with his co-worker, Amy Collins. But Kent's wife Sarah also made a nearly fatal mistake when she failed to keep business separate from pleasure in "seeing" her client Brad. Unbeknownst to her, Brad was the husband of Amy, who died when he pushed her down a set of stairs. Now, the deranged Brad is out for revenge against Kent.

There was a poignant line at the end of the film when Detective Philips referred to Sarah and her daughter Lucy as "comic book heroes." The dialogue and situations in the film were so over-the-top that this "thriller" could have been a graphic novel!

The most outrageous scene was when the monomaniacal Brad was able to worm his way into becoming Kent's lawyer after Brad had just framed him for the murder of his colleague Miguel. The jaw-dropping lines spoken by Brad insinuated that Kent essentially had no defense and that he would be wearing an orange jumpsuit for a considerable amount of time. But nice guy Brad implied that he would take good care of Sarah for him!!!

The actors seemed to connect well with the comic book style. The quick-thinking Lucy was effective in serving almost like a marriage counselor to her troubled parents. And she used her computer skills to ferret out the truth about the nefarious Brad Collins. Comic book heroine indeed!
