The Wrong Daughter (2018 TV Movie)
2/10
I've seen a lot of movies, but few have been worse than this

I'd never heard of this movie until I saw it listed on Prime. Normally, I would've passed, but I noticed that Sydney Sweeney was in it and erroneously thought it was newer than it is. I should've looked it up, but decided to watch it today while bored.

I regret wasting my time with it now, despite watching it all. I've watched a lot of movies in the last 36 years - including a number of bad ones - but this is up there with the worst.

To be honest, there's almost nothing redeeming about this mess. It's horribly written, incredibly cheesy, stupid and unoriginal, with poor acting included. In fact, it's not just bad - it's offensively bad.

Sydney Sweeney portrays a young woman who dupes a couple into thinking that she's the woman's daughter. That's an interesting enough premise. However, it's revealed that she's evil, and not just evil but mentally ill! Oh, the humanity!

As someone who's mentally ill, but wouldn't hurt a fly, that was when I started to actively detest this already bad movie. 99.9% of those with mental illnesses, like depression, anxiety, OCD or PTSD (as examples), are very nice people who would never hurt anyone. It's the same with the general population. Being mentally ill does not mean you're evil, and shame on the writers of this atrociously bad movie for insinuating that. I mean, the movie was bad enough without that reveal, but it made things much worse.

Save your time and don't watch this garbage, even if you do like Sydney Sweeney. There is nothing good, or redeeming, about it.
