A,K.A. “My Landlord Hates Me.” By either title, this Lifetime entry doesn’t offer much. Many highly unlikely things happen, the chief one being the main character’s lack of normal common situational sense, and the movie suffers on account of them. The living situation the heroine finds herself in would never in a zillion years go on in the way it did. The overused trope of phones that work/don’t work is present throughout. The aunt would not behave as she did; the boytoy got a little close a little fast; and the uncle, well…let’s just say he was something of a hilariously ditsy actor who either ruined the movie, or was the only bright spot in it, depending on your point of view. I mean, he was wild! Think Eric “Dr. Albert Beck” Roberts-wild. I like Lifetime dreck, and I’m fully onboard with the idea that they’re supposed to be silly, but one crazy-funny performance just can’t make this one memorable enough to recommend. 3/10 mainly for “Uncle Paul.”
