@TheDreReichDude The original title to this was 'The Suite Life of Being Implausibly Stalked While Getting Incompatent Help from the Allstate Guy.' Studio didn't think it catchy enough, though.
just replace the All-state guy with Mr Moseby, the fake husband and the creepy darkhaired guy with Zack and Cody while it ends with London coming to after being knocked out by a phone book that Maddy accidentally dropped on her head.
@@billuraral1870 I'll always remember the episode where Moseby was trying to teach London how to drive and she thought the AM and FM radio buttons said Am and Fum and after Moseby got pissed off at her he said "Would you like Am or Fum?"
How did the guy fool both the hospital AND the detective into thinking he was her husband!? Did he forge any documents, or was the badly photoshopped album enough for them, too!?
With London not knowing her husband but remembers freshly squeezed orange juice. It actually makes sense that she would, my friend’s mum has amnesia and could remember anything she didn’t know who she was or her own family but she remembered a specific pair of jeans and the small town she grew up in that she hadn’t been to since childhood
Yes! This is very true. Amnesia can affect different types of memory (episodic memory or semantic memory) and can also affect specific parts of memory in time (remembering childhood but not later years, for example).
Yeah it’s the same with basic things like knowing how to make coffee. You can’t remember your life but you can remember how to make coffee for some reason 😂
@@jasmineelizabeth3342 I have a kind of a similar story. Some old lady in a hospital was forgetting her own name, name of her family, date, prescribed medicines because of demetia, but she vividly remembered a letter she didn't send someone at work several decades before
The thing is that those pair of jeans were very specific to your friend's mom. We're supposed to think that Brenda remembering the orange juice thing is an extremely eye opening moment for her memory, as if anyone would like old ass sour orange juice instead of fresh.
"She's in heels. Why put her in heels?!?!" Because even when a woman is in excruciating pain, she must be pretty and women can't be pretty in casts or air boots apparently. Not even sneakers
See your implying that it was s conscious decision to put her in heels. I think your giving them too much credit, more likely she showed up on set in heels and they filmed without thinking about it
Would've been more interesting if they were already a married couple, but it was an abusive and controlling marriage. She plans to escape one night but fails. When he returns to the hospital and says he's her husband, he has real photos and documents to back it up (plothole fixed). He realizes she has amnesia, and takes the opportunity to start fresh again. That guy in the beginning could've been someone she had an affair with and planned to run away with, and it makes sense why he's killed ("stay away from my wife"). Her parents are killed to keep her from having anyone to run to for help. The husband could be seen as a genuinely good guy, because dangerous people are often very charismatic (Ted Bundy vibes), so the audience doesn't suspect anything, but the detective has a weird feeling about the husband (detective intuition) and starts investigating. Brenda starts off remembering the better days of their relationship, but as the movie progresses and her memories come back, she remembers the abuse, how he completely changed as a person and became possessive of her (9:58 may instead of remember how she was almost murdered, she remembers how he assaulted her or something, and we the audience realise that there's something wrong) She realises she's back where she started, and that he's won. But then _e s c a p e s e q u e n c e_ and ***true detective "i knew there was something off about that husband of her's" allstate man*** comes to help her and BAM she kills her obsessive and abusive piece of shit husband and she's now _finally_ . . . in good hands Makes for an interesting stalker horror, like that movie Enough. A lot of stalker cases are about obsessive partners/ex-partners, so why not make her husband the bad guy
Here's a better and sweeter twist for the movie. Brenda Song wakes up with amnesia. Upon waking she is face to face with this sweet, well-dressed man who claims to be her father. He takes her to a hotel he is the manager of, where she meets her friends, although she doesn't remember them. The friends all have stories of fun experiences they had with each other, whether it was the blond twin sons of the hotel singer, the candy counter girl, the bellboy or the engineer. Yep, it's not a horror/drama movie, but a sweet, heartwarming tale of London's dad never being part of her life and Mr Moseby stepping in to give her a fresh start with him as a new parental figure.
That last scene of Sweet life on Deck where she walks 5 feet away from him, calls him, and says "I have a problem ... I miss you" was legit the sweetest thing on Earth.
Why does every Detective have to have a traumatic experience that relates to a current case so that he feels the need to solve it? Like...that's your *job* homie
In the US, we also have this lovely little thing called HIPAA which severally limits the amount of information healthcare providers can provide. It requires signed consent before they can share your info with anyone and you must specifically list the individuals who are allowed info and the level of info they are able to be given. There is no way they would let some yahoo walk in and say "I'm her husband" and just let him have all that access.
@@BornNoU probably didnt quite fill its man-hating quota. probably asked to make the all-state guy into an abusive husband as well, but the script writer rejected the suggestion.
One of my biggest issues with this movie is how did Ryan know she'll get amnesia? Like did he expect she'll get amnesia or was he gonna walk in there, pretend to be the husband and have her be like 'bruh, you're not my husband' or just go along with it?
Since he was a stalkerish he probably already had the album created so he could pretend they were together. Album then came to be useful after she got amnesia perhaps?
He likely planned to pretend to be her husband to get to her hospital room to finish her off before she talks to the cops and tells them who attacked her.
Okay, we know that this whole thing was meticulously planned by this dude, but this plan would ONLY work if she had amnesia. How did he know that she was going to get amnesia in the first place?
The fact that Fake Russell's plan of convincing Jennifer they're married hinges on his pathetic photoshop skills (the photo album and the sign in the front of his house) is absolutely hilarious.
This movie was so odd...I knew I was in trouble when the trailer that plays automatically on the Netflix banner gave away the "twist". Like.......what?? So watching it felt like an out of body experience. Like, am I supposed to be surprised by any of this? lol
Heh my oldest daughter told me she was going to watch this film. I just smiled and said ok. She thought my smile was indicating something but just went ahead and watched it. She then told me it was so bad she couldn't believe someone approved making it. I told her that I saw the trailer and that's why I gave a wry smile when she told me she was going to watch it. I know it's cruel but you have to let your kids suffer these things once in a while. Life lessons and crap like that.
Letting your kids suffer from terrible things they choose to watch actually seems like it could be one of the joys of parenthood! At least when the suffering is because something is amusingly terrible rather than because it’s full of harmful messages...
I watched the trailer first and still watched the movie, because I just love watching terrible movies to laugh about its inconsistencies. Also, the trailer gave away the "twist".
@@Quandry1 It's good that the caveman is frozen in there, and we're out here and we're frozen in there. And the caveman is outhere, and he's the sheriff.
There’s already a movie where the woman gets amnesia about her husband that is abusive to her but the trick is that she has a special kind of amnesia that resets every single morning, so that when she goes to sleep she won’t remember what happened yesterday. And it just shows her trying to piece together information and leaves clues for herself to help herself day by day to try and remind her self sooner about the danger she is in with her husband
Cop: ok your married, do you have a marriage certificate? I know you can photoshop that but if he bothered to check online to confirm it would debunk the claim instantly.
I like to imagine that random 'scary' guy was her AA sponsor which is why he was checking up on her and not really telling anyone the details of how they knew each other

The plot of this movie is crazy similar to Before I Go to Sleep with Nicole Kidman. That one is much better than this, but still not as good as the book it was based on.
before i go to sleep was crazy good. i remember being uneasy whenever her therapist was around bc there was this tension: was he a good guy? a bad guy? and the way the movie started kinda chill with the husband and everything but slowly unfold its thriller aspect. bruh.
The movie was disappointing compare to the book despite such a good casting but I must recognise you would also guess quickly something was not right with her "husband".
I love how this guy has been an actor for over 3 decades and everyone knows him as the Allstate guy! I like the new commercial where the actor keeps talking about Insurance and he's like can you blame me. The Allstate guy is like fair enough.
Here's a really cool story idea. They convince us throughout the entire movie that he isn't the husband. She also slowly realises it. But then the twist is that he really was her husband but an abusive one. He wanted a fresh start but he could not fully hide his abusive tendencies.
He lockpicking I can attest to- my friend was in an abusive relationship and learnt over time how to pick locks and undo ropes, and she never lost the skills and would do it randomly. So if the girl remembered how to do that even with amnesia, I could buy it as being instinctual knowledge. But then it turns out he's not her abusive husband, just a random stalker so I have to wonder why she knew how to do that if her husband was a nice guy..?
It should have been like she realizes that he isn't her husband but tries to go along with it but he slowly realizes she knows and things get crazier and crazier until he finally lashes out
I’ve literally walked in on my mom watching this movie five separate times and every time I remind her that she’s seen it before she manages to have absolutely no recollection of it. I know what happens through the whole movie and every time I explain it to her and it’s just. It says so much that she doesn’t remember this movie ever.
@@WalkmanWillWalkAllOverYou Here! Here! Sir. It is always a blessing to meet a fellow gentlemen of fine taste. But having recognized that we both appreciate the special things in life, let us try to be the kind of men that a psycho Amanda would be proud to bury in her back yard.
As someone who has worked in an emergency room in Registration someone could 100% walk in and say they are family and they would be let in. We weren't allowed to try to verify that information due to "hospital regulations". Typically we just ask the patient if they know them UNLESS the patient is a minor
With the idea of implanting false memories, I'm wondering if they were trying to take a cue from the classic movie Gaslight, but the thing in that is the guy doesn't try to implant such elaborate false memories. Like, he steals a necklace from someone else, puts it in her pocket, and then tells her she stole it. He goes up into the attic every night, turning on the gaslight (hence the title), and when she asks why the gaslight was on, he tells her she's imagining things. Also, he's implanting these memories specifically to make her think she's insane, so he can put her in a mental institution. Any way, go watch Gaslight.
That's not the Allstate guy, that's the President of the United States of America! Or he was for at least 6 different 24 hour periods from 2001 to 2007 anyway.
@@jimthar17 Yep, Pedro Cerrano. He also took a year off of playing for the Indians and went to Japan to play with Tom Selleck, although he dropped his Jamaican accent while in Japan.
I can't remember the term, but there is a theater technique where the audience is deliberately supposed to know more than the characters. Maybe not done well here, but it's a thing.
It's literally just another lifetime movie. You know what's gonna happen because there all the same plot but you still watch it cause ur either bored or u like one of the characters
Theres an *extremely* similar movie called Before I go to Sleep staring Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth. Where a woman (Kidman) is in an accident causing memory loss. She doesnt remember her husband and hes acting weird. The major difference is her memory resets at the beginning of every day. So everything she learned the day before is gone.
In response to why she’d be wearing heels with a hurt leg, I can say from multiple personal experiences that when I’ve had a limp, heels actually make it a little easier to walk. I don’t mean, giant stripper heels, but a couple inches. Now, I’m sure that wasn’t actually a consideration when that choice was made in the movie, but irl, it really does help a bit. My chiropractor explained that because wearing heels shortens you’re calf muscles when you walk, it lessens the look of your limp
Would have been interesting if she had figured out that he wasn’t her husband early in the movie, but was trapped with him in the house. Maybe she could still have the amnesia and a leg injury and no phone or internet access or whatever. So then the tension would be when he realizes that she knows he’s lying and whether or not she can piece together enough memories about what happened to figure out how to escape and who she can trust to help her.
Dennis Haysbert is the B team Denzel Washington. I mean that in the best way. When you want Washington, but he's out of your budget/director profile...you cast Haysbert.
Apparently being a police detective isn’t enough motivation for Detective All-State to work this crime-luckily he’s got the external motivation of, uh, something something his daughter? 🤔🤷🏼♀️ Also, I like your Gabumon.
I wouldn't say I love the bad stuff. I'm actually very thankful you're watching it so I know what to avoid. You do a service to humanity, Amanda. Keep on keeping on.
I worked at hospitals in Germany, for quiet a while. We only had non-critical patients in my department though, so any visitors would usually be brought in/greeted by the patients themselves. But for ICU etc...you need to be let in/cleared before being able to visit anyone. Even then it's one person only and time is limited strictly, per person.
I don’t know about anyone else but while he’s loving, I’d fake not knowing anything and act loving towards him so when I backstab him, I’d have the element of surprise at my side.
This reminded me of a Japanese audio drama that's pretty similar plot-wise. Starts with the MC waking up with amnesia along with this guy singing happy birthday claiming to be her boyfriend, who turns out to be a coworker who is crazy obsessed the MC. She wasn't in a relationship beforehand but she did like another one of her coworkers, and when the guy found out that's when he kind of snapped. I don't think the male lead was trying to kill anyone, he's still pretty... batshit crazy though. It was slowly revealed with the MC getting her memory back, and it's implied this isn't the first time he's done this either since she overhears him saying stuff like "I didn't expect her to remember this quickly (this time)" "The more lies I make up, the more I can't tell what's real and isn't." and all that yada. It ends with his internal monologue cutting to him singing happy birthday again. I don't know if this is particularly better, but if anyone's interested, it's Vol. 2 of Shuuchaku Eye. It has some r18 scenes that might disturb some people though so tw
19:14 here we have a saying, which roughly translates to "Would rather be dead than simple" basically means, 'I'd rather die than look bad' They pretty much nailed it with that scene!
In addition to Brenda Song and Dennis Haysbert (Allstate guy), there was another actor I recognised. Namely the nurse played by Ashley Scott. She has been in a lot of low budget TV Christmas romance movies.
Secret Obsession, huh? Not much of a damn secret. It's like if I'm at a poker game and I start chuckling sinisterly. Everybody at the damn table and beyond knows what the fuck is up.
What I want to know is who made the sticker for the sign. Obviously a custom job, and a rush order, yet somehow it stuck flat over a very complex surface. Those people clearly know how to make amazing and quick stickers
I was playing this in the background while cooking and fully thought an Allstate commercial started when there was a short clip of the detective at the beginning lol
I looked at the description, saw "Jennifer was not, in fact, in good hands," and died laughing. Having watched myself, no, she was not. I was compelled to like the video then and there.
My gf and I decided to watch a movie at the same time she was in El Salvador and me in the US so our Netflix catalog was different. This is one of the few movies we could watch. We made fun of it the whole time.
There are so many ways this could've been made into a better movie, but I like the idea of a version where we *immediately* know what his plan is. We know what he's done, and we want her to figure it out. But at the same time, we can believe why she trusts him. Everything he says makes sense, we've just been privy to info the characters didn't get to see. The tension is now based on if she can figure it out in time, or if the illusion will fall when it's too late.
At 6:50 I really thought you were going to say "Omg, that's the twist... He's horrible at photoshop." And I couldn't stop laughing. The whole "twist" thing was NEVER a surprise if you watch the trailer for the movie. I've noticed netflix does that for many of their movies which really sucks because you literally finish the trailer feeling like you've already seen the entire film
This! I was looking for this comment! I saw the trailer and immediately thought of ‘Before I Go To Sleep’. I’m not familiar with the movie version, as I’ve only read the novel and watched some clips of the said film. In my opinion, it really wasn’t the best novel I ever read, and it is still significantly better than this movie.
I actually saw a add for this a few years back and it completely gave away the fact that he was not her husband. So they were not trying to hide it that much to begin with.
A horror movie about a abusive husband's wife getting amnesia and him trying to start over sounds far more interesting.
That's what I thought! I should hit up Netflix, apparently they'll let anyone make anything

@@Angelynkd4 right?! Put some respect of Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior! It was a million times better than Mulan 2020.😂
Here's a really cool story idea. They convince us throughout the entire movie that he isn't the husband. She also slowly realises it. But then the twist is that he really was her husband but an abusive one. He wanted a fresh start but he could not fully hide his abusive tendencies.
He lockpicking I can attest to- my friend was in an abusive relationship and learnt over time how to pick locks and undo ropes, and she never lost the skills and would do it randomly. So if the girl remembered how to do that even with amnesia, I could buy it as being instinctual knowledge. But then it turns out he's not her abusive husband, just a random stalker so I have to wonder why she knew how to do that if her husband was a nice guy..?
When I searched Brenda Song feet, that is not what I was looking for
It's kind of scary how the minions of our dear leader seem to pop up everywhere now.
Scary... and amazing.
@@swagromancer It's only a matter of when we become his minions
Did you know she's married to Macaulay Culkin?
@@adiahaalexander9359 I did not! Thanks for the trivia (I'll be sure to use it somehow)
When you order "Before i go to sleep" on dvd from Aliexpress and this movie shows up
I made my roommates pause the movie so could laugh during the photoshop scenes - I literally started weeping
It should have been like she realizes that he isn't her husband but tries to go along with it but he slowly realizes she knows and things get crazier and crazier until he finally lashes out
I’ve literally walked in on my mom watching this movie five separate times and every time I remind her that she’s seen it before she manages to have absolutely no recollection of it. I know what happens through the whole movie and every time I explain it to her and it’s just. It says so much that she doesn’t remember this movie ever.
If I had amnesia and Amanda claimed to be my wife using a butch of obviously Photoshopped pictures; I would just go with it.
As would I.
@@WalkmanWillWalkAllOverYou Here! Here! Sir. It is always a blessing to meet a fellow gentlemen of fine taste. But having recognized that we both appreciate the special things in life, let us try to be the kind of men that a psycho Amanda would be proud to bury in her back yard.

As someone who has worked in an emergency room in Registration someone could 100% walk in and say they are family and they would be let in. We weren't allowed to try to verify that information due to "hospital regulations". Typically we just ask the patient if they know them UNLESS the patient is a minor
With the idea of implanting false memories, I'm wondering if they were trying to take a cue from the classic movie Gaslight, but the thing in that is the guy doesn't try to implant such elaborate false memories. Like, he steals a necklace from someone else, puts it in her pocket, and then tells her she stole it. He goes up into the attic every night, turning on the gaslight (hence the title), and when she asks why the gaslight was on, he tells her she's imagining things. Also, he's implanting these memories specifically to make her think she's insane, so he can put her in a mental institution.
Any way, go watch Gaslight.
Freshly squeezed orange juice? That's disgusting. I only drink orange juice when it's three weeks old.
That's not the Allstate guy, that's the President of the United States of America! Or he was for at least 6 different 24 hour periods from 2001 to 2007 anyway.
HA HA, YES!! I used to always laugh and yell at the screen! “PRESIDENT PALMER!? Why are you selling me insurance?”
No no, he was the guy who played for the Indians from 90 to 93.
@@jimthar17 Yep, Pedro Cerrano. He also took a year off of playing for the Indians and went to Japan to play with Tom Selleck, although he dropped his Jamaican accent while in Japan.
Dennis Haysbert will always be the guy from "The Unit" to me!!
Netflix had a trailer for it and i watched it and figured i had seen the entire movie just in that. Guess I wasnt wrong.
2:29 - there’s a term for this type of story opening - its called an “in media res” introduction. basically means “in the midst of things.”
This movie is just a remake of before I sleep (i think it's called) with Colin firth, which they removed from Netflix before releasing this movie
"i can't say I've had a murder flash back" hahahaha
“Detective Allstate” “ Jennifer is in fact ‘in good hands’” 🤣🤣💀💀
the all state guy is also in a couple episodes of brooklyn nine nine
I can't remember the term, but there is a theater technique where the audience is deliberately supposed to know more than the characters. Maybe not done well here, but it's a thing.
Dramatic irony
It's literally just another lifetime movie. You know what's gonna happen because there all the same plot but you still watch it cause ur either bored or u like one of the characters
Theres an *extremely* similar movie called Before I go to Sleep staring Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth. Where a woman (Kidman) is in an accident causing memory loss. She doesnt remember her husband and hes acting weird. The major difference is her memory resets at the beginning of every day. So everything she learned the day before is gone.
In response to why she’d be wearing heels with a hurt leg, I can say from multiple personal experiences that when I’ve had a limp, heels actually make it a little easier to walk. I don’t mean, giant stripper heels, but a couple inches.
Now, I’m sure that wasn’t actually a consideration when that choice was made in the movie, but irl, it really does help a bit. My chiropractor explained that because wearing heels shortens you’re calf muscles when you walk, it lessens the look of your limp
and here I am still wondering who the other guy was dammit.
Would have been interesting if she had figured out that he wasn’t her husband early in the movie, but was trapped with him in the house. Maybe she could still have the amnesia and a leg injury and no phone or internet access or whatever. So then the tension would be when he realizes that she knows he’s lying and whether or not she can piece together enough memories about what happened to figure out how to escape and who she can trust to help her.
I am this old: "thats the guy from 24........"
President Palmer!
24 likes lmao
I am this old: "That's the guy from Major League that I saw in the movies in 1990."
That's the guy from The Unit...
You need to see the trailer. They give away EVERYTHING in the trailer!!
You plebs. Little did you know, it was *satire* all along
PLEBS 😂😂😂
“Did I mention that I hate Jennifer as a character?”
Does no one realize the “Allstate Guy”, is like an actual established actor and not just the Allstate Guy. 24, Waiting to Exhale?
Dennis Haysbert is the B team Denzel Washington. I mean that in the best way. When you want Washington, but he's out of your budget/director profile...you cast Haysbert.
Candace Young I gotta say that is soo true . In the best way possible
All I can think of is Love and Basketball 🏀
Major League, Navy Seals.....
Apparently being a police detective isn’t enough motivation for Detective All-State to work this crime-luckily he’s got the external motivation of, uh, something something his daughter? 🤔🤷🏼♀️
Also, I like your Gabumon.
Looks like a lifetime movie to me..i hate lifetime 😂😂
"And finally we get the moment where Jennifer is, in fact, in good hands."
Really, Amanda? 😂
"Runs to a payphone" what yr does this movie take place in??
That's what I thought..
I wouldn't say I love the bad stuff. I'm actually very thankful you're watching it so I know what to avoid. You do a service to humanity, Amanda. Keep on keeping on.
I hate when movies pretend there's only one cop on the force.
I always thought the other cops were on their own projects. They always mention how departments are stretched thin.
I worked at hospitals in Germany, for quiet a while. We only had non-critical patients in my department though, so any visitors would usually be brought in/greeted by the patients themselves. But for ICU etc...you need to be let in/cleared before being able to visit anyone. Even then it's one person only and time is limited strictly, per person.
I don’t know about anyone else but while he’s loving, I’d fake not knowing anything and act loving towards him so when I backstab him, I’d have the element of surprise at my side.
This reminded me of a Japanese audio drama that's pretty similar plot-wise.
Starts with the MC waking up with amnesia along with this guy singing happy birthday claiming to be her boyfriend, who turns out to be a coworker who is crazy obsessed the MC. She wasn't in a relationship beforehand but she did like another one of her coworkers, and when the guy found out that's when he kind of snapped.
I don't think the male lead was trying to kill anyone, he's still pretty... batshit crazy though. It was slowly revealed with the MC getting her memory back, and it's implied this isn't the first time he's done this either since she overhears him saying stuff like "I didn't expect her to remember this quickly (this time)" "The more lies I make up, the more I can't tell what's real and isn't." and all that yada. It ends with his internal monologue cutting to him singing happy birthday again.
I don't know if this is particularly better, but if anyone's interested, it's Vol. 2 of Shuuchaku Eye. It has some r18 scenes that might disturb some people though so tw
The amnesia about having a crazy abusive husband plot was already used in the movie Jane Doe. So... Obsession route it is!
Even with a severe and serious injuries, ya gotta look fly as _fuuuck._
19:14 here we have a saying, which roughly translates to "Would rather be dead than simple" basically means, 'I'd rather die than look bad'
They pretty much nailed it with that scene!
Anne boouchoy is voiced by Brenda in Amphibia. This is a whole 180 and I love it
With the time, I feel more and more respect for Tommy Wiseau
At least Tommy Wiseau makes you laugh hard throughout his film.
"Do you want orange juice?" and pause before reaction is a clear O.J. reference - this movie is secretly genius.
In addition to Brenda Song and Dennis Haysbert (Allstate guy), there was another actor I recognised. Namely the nurse played by Ashley Scott. She has been in a lot of low budget TV Christmas romance movies.
Secret Obsession, huh? Not much of a damn secret. It's like if I'm at a poker game and I start chuckling sinisterly. Everybody at the damn table and beyond knows what the fuck is up.
What I want to know is who made the sticker for the sign. Obviously a custom job, and a rush order, yet somehow it stuck flat over a very complex surface.
Those people clearly know how to make amazing and quick stickers
I remember watching this and walking away with a thought of that was so weird...Similarly to "The Killing of a Sacred Deer".
the trailer itself revealed everything about the movie. you didn't even need to watch the movie to figure things out
Also they give the movie the most blatantly obvious stalker movie title you can think of.
I was playing this in the background while cooking and fully thought an Allstate commercial started when there was a short clip of the detective at the beginning lol
“I’m just trying to watch The Office for the 90th time.” Same, girl. Same
I looked at the description, saw "Jennifer was not, in fact, in good hands," and died laughing. Having watched myself, no, she was not. I was compelled to like the video then and there.
Honestly this film was one of the absolute worst I've seen. One of those where you gotta laugh.
My gf and I decided to watch a movie at the same time she was in El Salvador and me in the US so our Netflix catalog was different. This is one of the few movies we could watch. We made fun of it the whole time.
There are so many ways this could've been made into a better movie, but I like the idea of a version where we *immediately* know what his plan is. We know what he's done, and we want her to figure it out.
But at the same time, we can believe why she trusts him. Everything he says makes sense, we've just been privy to info the characters didn't get to see. The tension is now based on if she can figure it out in time, or if the illusion will fall when it's too late.
Had to rewind because I looked away at the end and missed the snap. Must not miss snap.
I really appreciate the PSAs you throw into your videos about running from abusive situations.
I only remember this movie for its trailer, which spoiled everything lol
Mista GG recommended you during his 13 going on 30 video and now I’ve watched a few videos and subscribed.
At 6:50 I really thought you were going to say "Omg, that's the twist... He's horrible at photoshop." And I couldn't stop laughing.
The whole "twist" thing was NEVER a surprise if you watch the trailer for the movie. I've noticed netflix does that for many of their movies which really sucks because you literally finish the trailer feeling like you've already seen the entire film
Omg this is a remake of the Nicole Kidman version which was really good! Sad that nobody seems to know that, lazy Netflix 😂
It was removed when this was released
This! I was looking for this comment!
I saw the trailer and immediately thought of ‘Before I Go To Sleep’. I’m not familiar with the movie version, as I’ve only read the novel and watched some clips of the said film. In my opinion, it really wasn’t the best novel I ever read, and it is still significantly better than this movie.
“Detective Allstate” 😂
"Jennifer finds out she is actually in good hands"
Best line in the movie
I actually saw a add for this a few years back and it completely gave away the fact that he was not her husband. So they were not trying to hide it that much to begin with.
So it’s like every Lifetime movie ever made...
Wait, if the husband is in his car, who the hell is the brooding guy? 🙄
I actually loved that movie 😭 but the hospital was stupid for just letting her go with strange man who has barely any proof of being her husband
