Lifetime mommy movies

Welcome back, mommies. Today we're exploring a subgenre of Lifetime movies I hadn't even thought to categorize until last week: movies with the word "mommy" in the title. In the process of watching these, I discovered some real hidden gems. Join me as we mommy our way through Mommy's Little Boy (2017), Mommy Would Never Hurt You (2019), Remember Me, Mommy? (2020), Mommy's Deadly Con Artist (2021), and Mommy's Little Star (2022).

the old woman hitting that woman with a bat saying “more like the wrong mommy” will never not make me cackle

[@luthientinuviel3883]

I cracked up so hard

[@quinnaddison420]

‘The Wrong Mommy’ is my drag name

[@delaneyharrington1915]

my stepdad always jokes that if you watch the first and last 10 minutes of a lifetime movie you won’t miss anything that happens in between

[@jane-mulcahy]

a very accurate observation!

[@colonelstunts4885]

you cannot get away with the "Brenda from Eden Prairie" bit when my stepmom Brenda is upstairs marathoning lmn as we speak, in our home less than an hour's drive from Eden prairie...... a jump scare I tell you

[@jane-mulcahy]

what can I say I have my finger on the pulse of Lifetime's demographics

[@cadycastle9957]

You need to watch daddy's perfect little girl!! I watched it a couple weeks ago and I ended up laughing so hard I was crying in the end. It's beyond ridiculous and the look on the dad's face at the end as she cry's hysterically asking if she is still daddy's perfect little girl lol it's almost perfection. I actually came home and rewatched it so I could catch the first 20 mins that I missed at the hospital

[@jane-mulcahy]

I love that you first watched it at the hospital 😭

[@dannimays7325]

that movie was SOSO funny lmao like imagine a DCOM thriller - that’s was the essence

[@leahpeachie]

the financial consultant being the first credited name at the end of Mommy's Little Boy almost made me spit my cereal out

[@fictionallyattached]

i feel like i’m subscribed to a secret lifetime movie newsletter in the best possible way

[@yennsciri]

getting on Letterboxd and seeing a new "The Wrong-" film being logged by you is hilarious because it really looks like it will never end

[@jane-mulcahy]

I don't even know how I'll start writing this video because all the movies are so stylistically and thematically identical that they're all blending into one big Wrong mush in my brain

[@bookshelfhoney]

"you better not be fooling with that dead body back there! So help me I'll turn this RV around young man, and you'll be so grounded for shooting my sketchy boyfriend"

[@trinaq]

"Cheerleader", "Mommy" or "Friend" must be the unofficial words to use as part of a cheesy Lifetime movie, who'd have guessed?! 😉

[@bookshelfhoney]

Coming this fall... Mommy's Secret Cheerleader Friend"

[@jane-mulcahy]

I would also add "Husband" "Nanny" and "Teacher" 😂

[@alexcollins1472]

Don’t forget “psycho”, “Stalker “ , and “Obsessive” 😂

[@funfettiiz]

my friend the cheerleaders psycho stalker mommy!!😱😱

[@It5tete]

Also stripper if they’re feeling spicy 🤭

[@itsmefm]

Brenda from Eden Prairie with Uggs made me holler lollll

[@sagewowomg]

That “Have a nice trip, bitch.” line needs to be a reaction meme it’s too good

[@noneofyourbusiness4616]

"Quaking in My UGGs" would be a great Lana Del Rey song.

[@gabriellaberman]

Comparing yourself to Sharp Objects is a bold move. One of the best books/series I’ve ever read/seen

[@manderly33]

I sort of respect Eric Roberts’s willingness to act. In. Absolutely. Anything.

[@notcoolenoughforschool1825]

Yesterday i was literally watching "Mommy Be Mine" and thinking, "hm, maybe I should ask the bad movie lady to watch it on her next video!" If the title isn't enough of a selling point, it's also made by Marvista Entertainment, of "Christmas Mail" fame.

[@jane-mulcahy]

Marvista seems to only exist to make movies that will get picked up by Lifetime

[@nate_d376]

I just imagine 'Brenda' getting her box wine at Kowalski's.....in uggs.

[@ProtagonistIvy]

Eric Roberts shows up in EVERYTHING. He’s in the Doctor Who TV movie, Rihanna’s ‘bitch better have my money’ the ‘Mr. Brightside’ music video… he is everywhere, when you least expect it, when you really expect it…

[@JenniferBrigitteOpticalVortex]

He's also the villain in the Emancipation of Mimi music videos.

[@MrBookworm01]

22:59 "The thing going on with Denise feels like it's in a separate movie." 23:18 "It's not really explained what his relationship with them is." No worries, Jane, a Lifetime superfan is here to help! Mommy's Little Con Artist is actually the SEQUEL to another David DeCoteau Lifetime movie entitled "Deceived by My Mother-in-Law" where Denise is the therapist to a single mother who Christine is conning alongside fellow con artist James (the guy whose relation to them you were confused about) to scam her. Denise eventually enlists her ex-husband to investigate the pair after she grows suspicious, which of course, leads to him getting killed by James. The movie ends with both Christine and James escaping after they're exposed, and so, in Mommy's Deadly Con Artist, Denise is investigating Christine in an attempt to bring her to justice. Why she waits until the last act to warn Christine's latest victims, I have no idea. Hope you don't take this as a diss; I completely see how this didn't register. Mommy's Deadly Con Artist has done virtually nothing to advertise itself as a sequel, so anyone going into it blind would have no choice but to assume it's a standalone piece.

[@jane-mulcahy]

Wow, thank you!! This was vital context that Lifetime made no attempt to give me. I've definitely scrolled past Deceived by My Mother in Law on the LMC and seen that it also stars Jackee Harry but had no idea they were related lol. This movie should've been called Deceived by My Fiancée to at least let well-seasoned viewers know that they're in the same series!

[@MrBookworm01]

@@jane-mulcahy Definitely, Lifetime should've done something to show this was a follow-up movie. Also, regarding the bizarre title, I think the original title was Mommy's LITTLE Con Artist, which I think they should've stuck with because it makes a lot more sense (or at least runs off the tongue more smoothly lol)

[@emmettbattle5728]

amazing

[@Lucy-yd6uj]

"Brenda's engaging with these unironically" Jane I think at this point you are too

[@chaoscentralbooks]

desperately need a lifetime movie awards show to find out all the nominees for “character least likely to survive a lifetime movie”

[@jane-mulcahy]

it's definitely an idea for a future video!

[@valenfr01]

i just did terribly in a cognitive test for a possible job and seeing this title pop up in my notifications literally lifted weight from my shoulders. i might remain unemployed but at least i'll have serotonin

[@pembrokelove]

I don’t know what would be a funnier follow up.. all the best friend movies or all the “I killed” movies… but I so wanna know about that there “I killed my BFF” movie.

[@jane-mulcahy]

There's really not much to know, it's just like 2 women giving birth at the hospital become friends and then basically both turn out to be crazy and obsessive? The fun comes mostly from the weird acting and trying to figure out which one is going to end up killing the other one. Also Beck from Victorious is in it

[@pembrokelove]

@@jane-mulcahy aww, that’s disappointing. I was hoping it would be like the one with Shannon Doherty singing in a band and her “best friend” is like… someone she didn’t like in middle school, so she plans to take over Shannon’s band and murder her. That movie is the height of camp, second only to the infamous “Mother may I sleep with danger”

[@HMNPRSN]

I love that I never have to check what DeCoteau is up to in his career because he just appears when I least expect it. Of course he's been making lifetime movies.

[@wailsinspace]

28:18 "he tonya harding'd oliva's camp counselor" made me loudly exhale air from my nose. love it

[@katrinas9092]

I've been waiting for the wrong movies video. I don't care if the video is 10 hours long I'm watching it.

[@tayyrific947]

15:13 Not the "Mommy Madness Marathon" promo in the corner 🤣

[@bdperry576]

In the post traumatic haze of an extremely tragic personal loss, I watched “Mommy, I Didn’t Do it” on lifetime and it is lodged deeply in my brain. Would recommend, Urkel is in it!

[@renemies78]

You have to do the Daddy movies. This video made me laugh so much. Can't wait for your next video.

[@bluebuffy9751]

a similar lorem ipsum situation happened at my high school where they forgot to put the names of one of the sport teams and it was just the lorem ipsum ALSO seeing a grown women yell, “more like the wrong mommy” and then hitting the other with a bat…cinematic genius

[@armwrestles6935]

what’s crazy is that it’s been a Christmas tradition for me and my family to watch Stalked by My Doctor ever since my brother and I accidentally caught the first one on cable when we were at my dads place in, you guessed it, Eden Prairie for Christmas in 2015. We’ve watched the series evolve with extreme delight. The third one is actually kind of good 😭

[@MaryDan]

Not Brenda from Eden Prairie... I think that's one of my old customers

[@valentinecore]

ive rewatched this vid a few times and something hilarious i just caught - at 15:42, the lifetime movie marathon promotion in the bottom left corner advertises "mommy madness all weekend"

[@melodye14]

I watched a Drew Gooden video about a low budget Christmas movie and that also featured a car inside a white void. You'd think they'd catch this during editing.

[@ionaboxx6558]

Mommy’s little star is really on a level. I love to watch bad television and movies and that one was something I stumbled upon and just wowwwwww. What a weird weird weird storyline.

[@noahstein4772]

As a fellow native Minnesotan, Brenda out in Eden prairie hit home. Thanks for making my day with content

[@claudiaortensia4670]

I'm not sure what it is about this video but I find it just so infinitely rewatchable. I never get tired of it, it's never not wonderful, and I never, EVER get tired of "more like the wrong mommy" and "Brenda from Eden Prairie" (I'm not American, I don't understand anything about American geography, I don't even know what Even Prairie is or what kind of cultural associations it might have about the kind of people who live there, and yet it never stops being funny) and "QUAKING in my uggs" and the entire David DeCoteau tangent (I kind of respect him for staying in the business for this long after directing roughly 100 million films and not improving and remaining a hilariously bad filmmaker, that's quite the respectable hustle). I am so happy to discover the unique brand of weirdness and shlock that is the Lifetime movie channel and I am delighted by how much you enjoy being an expert in them and how much you enjoy talking about them.

[@nopelahoma]

YES, give us the daddies!! My favorite Lifetime movie is the one from the 90's where the pilot has the two different families and was about to marry a third woman with the perfect name: "Frequent Flyer".

[@jane-mulcahy]

omg that sounds pretty amazing... if you liked that one you have to watch Deadly Mile High Club, watched it recently and it was extremely funny

[@nopelahoma]

@Jane Mulcahy sorry, I looked it up and it wasn't from Lifetime, it was just a made for TV movie that should have been on Lifetime. Maybe they would rerun it after the initial release.

[@EhrisaiaOShannon]

I remember Bree Williamson from One Life To Live. She's actually a great actress! Lmiao. 💜

[@haleyhastings2845]

Honestly my favorite KZbin series is you talking about Lifetime movies

[@aalllllllexx]

I mean I think the reason it's more like sharp objects than the act is the fact that's about the older daughter returning to her childhood home and finding this out about her mom poisoning her younger sister. That's a huge part of sharp objects. But I agree that it seems that's where the similarities end.

[@itschudobs]

We all know about Brenda from Eden Prairie, but lest we forget Anna from Brooklyn Park and Linda from Apple Valley

[@tiffany1705]

You have such a deep knowledge of (to me and self-described) very niche artistic content, so hearing you say you just learned about lorem ipsum reminded me of how different interests can make our knowledge pools.

[@jane-mulcahy]

Lol true, are you in a field that uses it or had you just learned about it at some point through osmosis? I had really never seen/noticed it until one of the Wrong movies had a really obvious use

[@maggiephilson1667]

I love your Lifetime movie videos. My sister and I love the Stalked by my Doctor movies. They’re so hilarious! I feel like the Lifetime movies in the 90s are the best tbh.

[@jane-mulcahy]

from the comments I've been getting about it I think I have to watch the Stalked by My Doctor movies!

[@sunshinestudios1679]

I've been a quiet appreciator of this channel for a very long time, and I just wanted to thank you for making these videos and brightening my day😁

[@misskitty8282]

The lady with the bat lmao "more like the wrong mommy." Also your eyeshadow is amazing!

[@grumpysphinx4911]

I love how the fry label is just... slapped onto the bag ( 16:03 )

[@jw1422]

Not the Eden Prairie call out 😂 I worked there and yeah that’s the vibe.

[@leslienope]

Dammit, I kept thinking 'The guy playing nice stand-in father figure in the first movie looks SO familiar..." it's the guy who played Asher Shostak on degrassi. Edit: OMG and the main girl from Remember Me Mommy? played Paula, the girl in the bright red wig that Clare meets in the hospital when she's being treated for cancer.

[@bingus1651]

So happy that youtube recommended this video to me! I like to imagine that rushed out movies all take place in the same cinematic universe where people just suddenly get famous or die in absurd ways, which explains why people are so nonchalant or credulous when they hear crazy news.

[@KateSynd]

truly love an eden prairie shout out

[@jane-mulcahy]

I was hoping beyond hope that at least one viewer would appreciate the Eden Prairie shoutout

[@Thegrandpineapple]

I got roped into watching the movie Ma once which also has a munchausen by proxy plot line and I think came out around that same time that Mommy would never hurt you did.

[@blue-xt3wi]

something tells me you've probably seen it but i think you could make SUCH a good video about this teen filmed called Saved! from 2004. my sister and i found it on a hunt for a bad movie and we both ended up absolutely loving it. its about a girl getting pregnant in a christian environment except that everything that happens is last thing you'd expect. i know retrospectively there's probably some issues with it's message because it is a film about teen pregnancy in 2004 but i just think you'd have so much fun with it. thanks for another great video besides!

[@anawolf6984]

The con artist movie is actually a sequel to Deceived By My Mother In Law! Denise, the mom and the random guy were all in that, hence why Random Guy and Denise seem to be so randomly in there.

[@WinterWind]

We get a pretty big selection of Lifetime movies on our national free streaming service and I just love the melodrama. This video was exactly what I wanted to watch and didn't know it haha

[@antman525]

I really appreciate your content. You should definitely do one of the entire The Wrong series! I’m a sucker for some Vivica Fox. I first discovered her through Set it Off and she nails it in any other movie too. Lifetime became my thing thanks to my mother. You ma’am have earned the medal of being cultured in good taste. ⭐️👏🏾

[@fgjhham89]

Fun fact: the actor who plays the mom(my)'s boyfriend who gets shot by the kid in the first movie was on Canadian Idle. I think he might have won or been a finalist. Idk, I never watched any Idle, I just know him from other shows. His name is Sebastian Piggott.

[@jane-mulcahy]

what!! I had no idea lol

[@fleepfloop0061]

I watched “stalked by my mother” yesterday. Another future classic I hope

[@jane-mulcahy]

I also watched that one recently!! at first I was like 'wow I can't believe Lifetime is actually criticizing overprotective mothers' but then it becomes clear that they are actually fully validating/condoning stalking your kids lmao

[@ke3p1tco0l2]

A little side note, but you’d absolutely LOVE “Sharp Objects”! I’d highly recommend it. Anyway, I love your content (especially the Lifetime videos like this or Degrassi videos). Keep it up!

[@teecai5250]

You are by far my favorite channel on this app! Everything you put out is so funny while being strangely informative and smart, I also would love to have half the lifetime movie knowledge you have stored in your brain, just to alleviate the pressure I’m sure it’s creating. Wonderful video!

[@francescawhite4166]

[@macaronisex]

I am so glad I found your channel somewhere in the past 9 months from your red white and blue video and started watching your other content and watched this BECAUSE I have also read the Wikipedia page for the Asylum and was weirded out by the claim that Mommy Would Never Hurt You was a mockbuster of Sharp Objects, because Sharp Objects is a very odd property to make a mockbuster of

[@pixiedust429]

I took my niece and nephews who are all ten or under. I laughed and got more excited than they did. You were right when you said it was meant with millennials in mind. I would definitely watch again just to catch more Easter eggs I potentially missed the first time 😁

[@alombb]

the lifetime movie "love you to death" is incredible in the way that the acting is great (at least by the two leads) and it also steals from the existing plot of "the act" and now from the movie you already mentioned lol idk if you would have much else to say about it, but i love the drama of it lollll

[@hannahlowe5886]

[@tw4295]

Love this channel! Nobody in my life watches lifetime movies so I can’t discuss with people, so I love this channel. By the way, you should do a video on the “Seventeen & ….” Lifetime movies. Apparently everything treacherous happens when you are 17.

[@jane-mulcahy]

I've thought about talking about the At 17 series! Those movies seem real silly

[@nomanejane5766]

Review father at 15, it was one of Paul Danos first movies. Also secret cutting , it stars sean young and rhea Pearlman as the therapist

[@jane-mulcahy]

I actually did talk about Too Young to Be a Dad (that's the title I watched it under lmao) in my video 'Movies I can't stop thinking about.' But someone else also suggested Secret Cutting, I'll have to look into that one lol
