I cant say much more. The terrible terrible actors. Remember the old lifetime movies that had good actors. Odd one now with katie douglas are a dime a dozen and impacting. The script terrible or maybe the acting made it worse (likely). How do you make a true storey like a hallmark movie? They do. Hire the b list of hallmark movie actor? Stop it lifetime. It used to be so good these movies. The shows stepped up like #textmewhenyougethome. So annoyed. Also about the plot. Glorifies a woman using innocent people to commit her crimes. The pregnant woman! You can be vroke (bad house for the movie to show it in. Posh for the qverage home. But that requires brains). She ruined many a libes and i dodnt feel sorry for her. Just annoyed by the whole thing.

Terrible
Julia shouldn't have got off scot-free
A slightly above average TV movie today with the usual crop of naughty and nice characters, plus a very naive main character, Julia, who suddenly finds out that she is pregnant by the ex-boyfriend. She attends berthing classes and is befriended by several dodgy women, the most dodgy one of all being Alana. Alana has devised a scheme whereby pregnant Julia urinates on a number of fake pregnancy test strips, that of course turn positive and which Alana then sells to other women who want to persuade their boyfriends to make a marriage proposal. Totally underhand. Anyone can see that it's a scam. Anyone but Julia, that is. But she is reluctant to participate. Very reluctant, though she desperately needs the money to pay for the berthing classes and other tests, because she's skint.
So when Alana hands Julia her first cut from the scam, which is not an insignificant amount, Julia is on board for faking further tests despite her misgivings. But Julia still keeps getting cold feet. The next time Alana drops off a bunch of test strips for Julia to do the necessary on them, Julia says she doesn't want to do it any more. Alana gets abrasive, then aggressive, but Julia cannot decide whether to go to the police or carry on with the scam. Eventually, Alana is found out and the police get involved. A newspaper headline announces that Alana has been found guilty. But Julia? We see her and her new baby six months later living a normal life with no sign of any punishment having happened for her complicit participation. I think she should have got a custodial sentence. Not massive, unlike Alana, who deserved 15 years, but a few years, certainly. Then maybe Julia will engage brain in future and be more wary of offers that sound too good to be true.
