Movie Review: DIVIDES MEN AND WOMEN LIKE NO OTHER STORY
Summary: 5 Stars
Men are horrifed and blame BB entirely; women have quite a different opinion. Meredith Baxter is sensational, as is Stephen Collins (this is the second movie Collins portrays a husband murdered in cold blood by his wife; the other was Nick Dunne's excellent book turned movie "The Two Mrs. Grenvilles", the true story of the Woodward family...and even sadder, both children of the couple committed suicide, one on Mother's Day) and it is like watching a train wreck; you can't turn away and you hope maybe this time they will wake up and escape and Betty will recover, but it is not to be.
DB did everything wrong; he, of all people, knew BB and how deeply she was affected by the loss of her children, her husband and her entire lifestyle; usurped by a young, thoughtless girl who took delight in sending her ads for wrinkle cream and weight loss products,
I also read in one book that Kolkena was a bit of a monster toward the children. Neither Dan nor Linda behaved in a way that was wise or sensible; they seemed to deliberately go out of their way to inflame and harass Betty who was already way over the edge; taunting someone already in deep rage and depression is simply not a good idea.
I in NO WAY condone the murder of two people; (I would have much preferred Betty to win by legal means, but it was just not in the stars.) but I absolutely understand WHY she did it. I am also not surprised to notice that the overwhelming majority of those sympathetic to BB are women and those who vilify her are men; it is common and acceptable, even admirable, for men to abandon their wives for younger women; it happens more than we like to think.
Baxter said she was more on BB's side in the first picture; much less in the second. Either way, she turned in great performances in both features.
Movie Review: A MUST SEE - MEREDITH BAXTER DESERVES THESE 5 STARS
Summary: 5 Stars
yes, I am also a Lifetime movie junkie. This movie is my all-time favorite. The first time I saw it, I was hooked on this case; as Meredith Baxter did such an excellent portrayal of a woman driven to rage. I must say, though, I had read that the movie was made to be in the favor of Dan and Linda Broderick. If that's true, it did not work for me! I STILL felt Betty's pain!! Yes, there is no question that murder was wrong. I wish for Betty's sake she had the strength and means to break away from it all. But, none of us know what really went on and how she felt, what she was put through, or what she was driven to. From what I've read, watched (the movie and her interviews), I absolutely feel for her. We never know how we will react to a situation unless we are actually faced with it.
I am not in favor of what she did by no means, but throughout the entire marriage, breakup and thereafter, I sided with her.
She did not deserve to be dumped on. If only the two-bit women out there knew the pain it causes when marriages are interfered with, if it happened to THEM, perhaps this sort of thing would be thought through. Ladies, no matter what the situation, STAY AWAY FROM THE MEN IF THEY ARE STILL MARRIED!!!!!!!!!
what goes around, comes around.......I know.
Movie Review: Excellent quality, customer service, performances
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD contains more from the first movie than my VHS tape and includes the second installment. Although the story is not accurate (read "Until The Twelvth of Never" by Bella Stumbo) these are still good movies. Betty's entire world was based on her family and her husband. He commited adultery for two years with Linda while married to Betty, lying to her about his whereabouts and playing mind games. You won't see this part in the film because the article that this is based on neglected to add those oh so important little details. Instead of treating Betty with respect he treated her like dirt, less than human. Betty's descent was spectacular and devastating. I wonder how this tale might be different if Dan and Linda had apologized for the lies and the deceit. Sixteen years of marriage, nine shared pregnancies with four live births and one child dying shortly after birth (Dan was skiing when Betty when into false labor); Betty did what she thought was right, gave up her career and ambitions to be a good Catholic wife and mother. Dan lied, cheated, controlled the money and fell in love with a younger woman. How would you feel. Oh, and he never..not once...apologized for any of his actions.Movie Review: chaos princess

OK so i admit it I am a LIFETIME junkie and I make sure that i do not miss this one when it repeats, and it does ALOT. Meredith Baxter gives a convicning performance of "that woman scorned" and although she she murders in cold blood her x husband an his new wife as they lay sleeping peacefully in thier bed in the middle of the night, I still felt sorry for her. The movie starts from thier life together that she helped create while working to put her husband in law school, so that one day that they can have this wonderful life together, as she put it, he took her home, her kids, her friends and her life. Stephen Collins played her husband who after several years of marriage decides he wants a younger more attractive woman an they begin this affair, which is quickly found out by Betty. A lot of women can relate to the loss of love and freedom that Betty Broadwick loses but when i watched this movie withmy husband he could not help but saying "what a bitch she was." I think it depends on which side of the coin you look at it. One of my faviort lifetime movies. Baxter deserved a Emmey for her performace.Movie Review: THE MORE I WATCH THIS MOVIE, THE MORE I UNDERSTAND BETTY'S FURY!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first watched this movie on lifetime it seemed pretty dramatic and over the top for a woman to kill her exhusband and his new, younger wife, but the more I watched how Betty Broderick transformed into a woman scorned who committed murder I could understand why. I mean this woman worked 2 jobs to put her husband through medical school (that was definately from a different era) then law school, and raised 4 children. She built a life with this man to help him succeed and when he got tired of Betty he dumped her for a younger woman.
Unfortunately when a woman like Betty is identified by being Mrs. Dan Broderick, it's extremely difficult to walk away and let another woman step into your shoes after all the hard work is done. It also rubs salt in the wounds when your ex-husband invites the friends you used to socialize with to "his" wedding, and they don't remain friends with you, because they hang out with your ex-husband and his new wife.
Betty Broderick was wrong to murder her ex-husband and his new wife, but I totally understand what drove her to do it.
