Absolutely brilliant. Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig play it completely straight. Critics of this movie are looking for jokes when the real punchline is the fact that two of the funniest people on the planet made a freaking Lifetime movie! And it's 100% Lifetime. They've strictly followed the Lifetime formula and the result is the perfect parody. The entire thing is underscored with a subtle irony that really works. It's cheese with a side of cheese. And it's perfect.
Oh, and Will Ferrell's hair deserves it's own Emmy.
