I really wish the premise of this move was a little more believable. Once the mother got involved this movie because so phony and unbelievable. Most of the action was very predictable and horribly planned out. Every time Grace's father went to the phone booth I cringed. Just so horribly unbelievable.

Character development was also lacking. So many places this fell flat. The detective that came to the house seemed too forced. There could've been more story development there. This movie started out being intense but ended as a dud.

Don't waste your time.

Alright, let's see:

1) The girl has no idea how to jump rope or walk without skipping like an epileptic

2) The movie's budget apparently couldn't cover the cost of a new bottle of Sunny Delight

3) The kidnapper's super solid kidnapping plan was apparently to keep a sleeping child in a basement forever by feeding her small sips of drugged Sunny Delight

4) There needed to be an epilogue expelling that the misunderstood kidnapper with the heart of gold was sentenced to 15 years of colon-widening showers. The insane wife chewed through her restrains and killed a bunch of people

5) I'll end on a high note by mentioning the spellbinding performance of the OTHER kidnapper with the heart of gold who ran into the river where he immediately drown without saying or doing anything.

Within the limitations of a made-for-television movie,"Two Wrongs" is admirable because it does not pretend to be anything other than it is: a suspense story that demonizes men and praises the virtues of women.

Sarah is the hard-working single mom who juggles the career of a home nurse with the raising of her little girl Lauren. But one of her patients named Gerald turns out to have been guilty of kidnapping and manslaughter of a young child. Despite the fact the kid died in the trunk of his car, he was found not guilty in a generous court ruling. Bill, the father of the little girl that dies, now kidnaps Sarah's daughter Lauren in an attempt at retribution for Gerald's heinous deed.

Sarah is unwilling to go to the police for obvious reasons. Just as all of the health-care workers at Sarah's clinic are women, the police in the film are all male. And all of the males in the film are either toxic or emasculated. The only male who exhibits some genuine humanity is one of Sarah's patients who is so ill that he requires a transplant of both lungs.

So, Sarah and her stolid mother take matters into their own hands in the attempt to recover little Lauren.

One of the most interesting characters is the Sarah's mother, a pious yet determined soul who is willing to play judge, jury, and executioner. Another intriguing character is Gerald, the guilt-ridden killer who wants desperately to atone for his sins.

"Two Wrongs" unfolds in a predictable manner with the scenes often lapsing into melodrama and even comedy. The long sequence where Gerald is tied up by Sarah and her mother stretched credibility, based on the size of the man, his unsavory past, and his desperate situation. The production values included an interesting selection of locations, including an especially sinister farm, and the performances were earnest. The action built to a predictable climax where feminine virtue is rewarded and toxic masculinity gets its just dessert.

Gillian Zinser is just phenomenal here. And she is the only reason to even spend one second watching this movie that is three steps below your average Lifetime Saturday night movie.

Did I say that Ginger is great here?
