Everything that comes before is rote and by-the-book, from the groan-worthy innuendo-laden puns to the two-dimensional cookie-cutter characters, it's a color-by-numbers thriller that's flat.

Careful What You Wish For is the unwanted child of Porn and Lifetime made-for-TV movies.
June 10, 2016 | Full Review… -
Plays like a painfully stilted high school production of "Fatal Attraction."

There's a rhythm to these things, and screenwriter Chris Frisina has certainly watched his share of late-night cable TV thrillers.

"Careful What You Wish For" might have been a better film had the two leading ladies, McClure and Lucas, switched roles. But not that much better.
June 9, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review… -
A film that tries to be both titillating and suspenseful but is neither.
