"Secrets Exposed"
Stupid title - stupid movie. Nothing redeemable or remarkable other than it being remarkably bad in every way. I try to give these things a chance, but other than the exceptionally well done true crime movies that Lifetime gifts us with now and then, their fictional movies are nothing other than the same elementary school plots and stories over and over again with different so-called 'actors'. And usually the same character names used repeatedly (Allison, Sarah, Hannah, Zoe, Chloe, Kate, David, Michael, Sam, etc.)
Dumbest parts:
Did NOT enjoy, not even a little bit, as I do with most other LMN over-the-top guilty pleasures. This one had nothing going for it.
Grade F - 1 out of 10.

Dumbest parts:
- The professor barely looked old enough to be a college student, yet the mom, who had to be at least early 40s, ended up in his arms after finding her daughter's tank top on fire - huh?? - and had to turn down his advances. They looked like mother and son.
- She finds the dead girl, then a bag is put over her head from behind, and it goes to commercial. Next scene is her telling the cop that whoever did it must've done it to scare her into not talking....?? So they put the thing over her head and then take it off and run away?? My neighbor's dog could write a better script than this crap.
- The mom is a lawyer yet spends the night at the (stranger) professor's place for convenience since she lives so far away, while they work to find her daughter. She couldn't afford a hotel room for a night or two??
- Last but not least: no one who wants to be anonymous/unidentifiable would use the name of their well-known company (PVTech) in the cam girl chats, which should go without saying, yet the supposedly smart lawyer mom instantly believed it was actually Paul Vargas, the owner of the company. And how dense is the professor for using such a blatantly obvious ruse to implicate Vargas?? Not to mention a glaring goof/plothole: the lawyer mom pointed out the large amounts PVTECH was paying the cam girls - such as $6000 - which Paul Vargas could easily afford. But when it came out in the end that it was the young professor trying to frame him, it wasn't explained where HE would get that kind of money.
