Becky Snider was raised by her mother Eliza after her alcoholic and abusive father died in an auto crash while driving with three times the legal level of alcohol in his system. Becky is an outstanding student, but Eliza is concerned about her daughter's participation on the cheerleading squad. Becky has also begun her first romantic relationship. Unfortunately, the young man, Rob Rouse, may think that he is Romeo. In fact, he is closer to a young version of the maniacal Macbeth.
Rob also grew up in a dysfunctional household, and after his alcoholic mother left, he has been raised by an embittered and uncaring father. Rob became an alcoholic himself. He was forced to transfer from Bishop parochial school after he battered his girlfriend, Amanda White. Now, Rob has his sights set on another cheerleader in the naive Becky Snider.
Becky has an especially devoted bestie name Jen, who is the first to recognize that Rob is a loose canon. Insanely possessive and with a hair-trigger temper, Rob can turn on a dime in his meltdowns. Becky finally begins to realize the depth of her predicament when Rob slaps her in the face at a dance.
A weakness of the film was apparent in the numerous scenes where Rob was lurking in the background and eavesdropping on the other characters. It stretched credibility that he would always appear on cue and not be noticed by the others. While the actor playing Rob did a good job in capturing the character's wild mood swings, it seemed far-fetched that he would murder poor Amanda White, given his previous encounter with her father, a high-powered attorney.
The strength of the film was in the bonding of the best friends, Becky and Jen, as well as the thoughtful cheerleading coach played by Vivica A. Fox. The best scene in the film was when the feisty cheerleader Becky and her coach gave a double dosage of pepper spray to the villain, in the process redefining the expression "red eye."
Through power of love of a caring mother, a considerate coach, and the undying friendship of her best friend, Becky Snider has a support group unmatched in the series of "The Wrong ______" films on Lifetime.
