'The Wrong High School Sweetheart' Review: Lifetime's Valentine Day thriller is worth a watch
Feb 05,2022
We all remember our friends and crushes from high school during our life, but no one assumes that those same friends can turn into enemies and create more problems for us in the future. However, the lifetime movie 'The Wrong High School Sweetheart' could change your mind.
'The Wrong High School Sweetheart' revolves around Danielle (Mea Wilkerson), who is living a very successful life with her fiance Todd (Doug Rogers). Danielle was an estate dealer who was earning a good life with her business and was quite happy with her happening life. In addition, she was always guided and supported by her best friend, Dee Kressley (Vivica A Fox). Then one day, out of the blue, Danielle's ex from her high school, Danny (Alex Trubmle), tries to contact her. Of course, Danielle was delighted and excited to see her old crush, but never in her wildest dreams did she think that her harmless appreciation could turn into something unpleasant and toxic.
Even after getting warned by Dee, Danielle was not able to fathom Danny's change of behavior. The movie, however, changes pace from boring to interesting once evil Danny kidnaps Todd. That certainly helped lift the movie from the first half where the tried and tested formula of the naive woman in trouble seemed to be what the makers were going for. To up the creepy quotient, the dead bodies in the washroom of Danny's house were hinting toward something far worse than what was scaring Dee and Danielle.
Props to Mea Wilkerson who made the movie a good watch with her brilliant acting skills. She effortlessly transforms from the bright-eyed, in love and innocent girl happy at the sudden interest from an old friend to being tensed and scared at finding out the man Danny's become.
Lifetime's 'The Wrong High School Sweetheart' is a perfect combination of mystery and thriller, making it a good watch. It is similar to the stories in real life where people cannot deal with their psychological problems and create problems in theirs and others' lives, borrowing from the obsessed lover trope.
David DeCoteau has outstandingly directed the movie. Robert Dean Kelin has creatively written the script, bringing every scene perfectly into play. Would we advise you to watch it? Sure. It works well for a weekend thriller and serves as a wise reminder in time for Valentine's Day.
