Not worth watching
The plot and dialogue don't make much sense. The acting is wooden and amateurish. This movie opens with wife #1 gazing sadly at a flier for a fertility clinic, which is a shabby way to set up that part of the story. Home alone, she hears a noise downstairs. Oh no! Cue the scary music. She goes completely unarmed to check it out, and is interrupted by a bleeping cell phone on the bed. Cue the obligatory horror-flick startle. She checks the phone, finds a message from hubby that he will be late getting home. Undeterred, she tiptoes onward, to the background sounds of some off-tempo Foley artist making more loud clomping noises than the number of footsteps she takes. Downstairs, she does not peek cautiously into the office where a burglar is apparently trying to open a safe with a pry-bar. Instead she darts past the doorway, attracting his attention, then plasters herself in terror backward against the wall on the far side. The burglar standing five feet away is amazingly slow, so she has plenty of time to run upstairs and lock herself in to call 911 on the cell phone. Police arrive very quickly and promptly arrest the AWOL husband on his way inside, right after just having texted his wife that he would be very late getting home. This dog of a movie carries on in the same inept fashion, actors spouting lame lines with uninspired delivery. As the story unfolds, wife #1 goes to find wife #2. They have a contentious chat that breaks off with wife #1 saying as an exit, "I came for what I needed," when she should have said "I got what I came for," . . . at this point it was just intolerably bad and I finally turned the movie off.
...and Baby Makes Three!
After looking over material from a fertility clinic, attractive but childless Kimberley Hews (as Kate Jennings) hears eerie sounds and discovers a bald-headed burglar in her house. She is frantic, understandably, and calls for help. The burglar calls Ms. Hews "Debra" for reasons later clear. The frightening incident is followed by one even more horrifying. Clues lead Hews to meet tilted blonde Tonya Kay (as Debra "Deb" Stanton), a pregnant woman fond of tight tops and short shorts. The two women attempt to solve the story's mysteries or die trying. The inside sets for "The Other Wife" are elegant and spacious, looking like they belong in a mansion instead of the modest home in outside location shots. The burglar has a bigger role than initially expected and Nick Principe (as Ed Warwick) does well with the part. Director Nick Lyon and his make-up crew do a nice-looking job in Mr. Principe's final scene. *** The Other Wife (3/13/2016) Nick Lyon ~ Kimberley Hews, Tonya Kay, Nick Principe, Lisa Goodman
Are. You. Kidding???
This LMFC had 3 (of 4) stars on Uverse and a 5.6 (at the time of this writing) here. WHATTTTT??? Subpar even by Lifetime standards. Bad acting, bad directing, terrible music, preposterous "plot". Now for the reason for the second star, the fabulous faux pas that made it amusing (note this covers about the first 30 minutes of the show; I suspect the list would be around 20 of I'd paid attention after that): 1. Lady calls credit card company. An English-speaking person answers the phone. No automated menu. 2. Dead husband's phone buzzes well after police have come to investigate the apparent suicide crime scene in the home. Wife checks it and reads texts. No lock screen, because no one locks his phone in a LMFC. Also, police did not take phone as evidence. Right. 3. Criminal walks around suburban neighborhood in broad daylight with a gun and gloves, approaching a house and then taking two women to his car in the street. Slowly. Ridiculous. 4. Not to be outdone by his prior performance, now the criminal casually holds a beaten woman and waves a gun at two women in the parking lot of a golf course. Come on. 5. Woman looks for money in dead husband's locker at golf club. Finds a duffel bag immediately that has some cash in it. Ignores his golf bag and everything else in the locker. Comes out with a much smaller sum than criminal expected and endures more threats to get the rest of the money. Come on. Should have looked in locker thoroughly. 6. Criminal murders somebody in an open area at a library! After someone has just walked by. Lady screams, no one hears. In. The. LIBRARY. EDIT: I watched the last 15 minutes and this amazing faux pad issued: 7. Killer sends lady a SIGNED TEXT telling her to bring money or her friend will be killed!!! Smart!!! 8. Three cops shoot the killer about 15 times from 10 feet away. He crumples and dies immediately. Nevertheless, one cop holds a gun on him from 8 feet away well after the killing. #terrible
I'm not his patient. I'm his wife.
Dr. Billy Jennings (George Stumpf) has two wives, gambling debts, and a rope with a noose. He uses the rope. It seems his gambling debts don't go away and the wives (joined forces) are being leaned on for the money...call the police? Of course not because they are no match for a bookie and his muscle man. The film claims to be based on a true story. It is made for TV and Asylum. The drama and acting was so fake I had to laugh at the car scene. Might want to try a different Lifetime movie. Kimberley Hews back steps about every other scene for drama effect.

An interesting film depicting that a doctor wasn't exactly totally involved with his patients, as he had a gambling problem, got in with bad associates and eventually commits suicide. Dealing with his death is bad enough, but when his wife of 10 years discovers that he married another woman, currently pregnant, 2 years ago, this is just too much to take in addition to the debt he has left both women and the dangerous situation they find themselves with the mobsters after what is owed to them. There is confusion here since if the second wife was working with the gang, why were they treating her in the way they did? The film is a good one as it shows the bond that is created by the two damsels in distress.
