This made for TV movie doesn't leave any cliche unturned, but it does give Linda Purl the role of her career. Purl plays Lacey, a psychotic obsessive sister in law to recently widowed Linden Ashby. She's taken care of Ashby and his two children ever since her sister was killed in an auto crash two years earlier. Things go awry however when Ashby decides to remarry, and lovely Shannon Sturges becomes the target of Purl's possessiveness.
Purl, a veteran TV performer, imbues Lacey with a dazzling and complex personality, shifting between the supposedly sweet and loving aunt to the vicious and vindictive harpy. Purl is quite good in the role and elevates this movie to a higher status.

I just watched this movie even though it got 2 bad reviews here and I really liked it. I watch alot of movies and I thought the plot was good and it was suspensful. I highly recommend it.

As someone who enjoys Thrillers immensely, I enjoyed this film very much. I decided to purchase it after enjoy the films "The Perfect Neighbor" and "The Perfect Wife." This film as all you want in a Thriller, a pleasant beginning, intrigue, mind games, violence, deception, and a surprise shock ending! I enjoy "Maid of Honor." I suggest this film to anyone who enjoys Thrillers!

This DVD is receiving a negative review from me - not because of the film or because of the service.

It is because of the DVD company. I ordered this with several other films. The packet states that it has English closed captions.

However, it does not and I was unable to watch the movie because of this.

I really wish that DVD companies would learn what the word "closed captioned" means before putting it on their DVDs. I also wish they would remember to put the English captions on.

This is about the 10th time that I have bought a film and found out that it isn't captioned despite having the "CC" signature or the "Closed captioned" phrase on the back cover. Why can't DVD companies remember to put the captions on when they have it on their "Extras" list on the back of the DVD cover????

I have to say that experiencing this error several times has really made me appreciate the good DVD companies that actually do put the closed captions on their DVDs.

Are you searching for an entertaining movie to escape from a hard day's work? Well, "Maid of Honor" might be just the flick for you. Surprisingly poignant and filled with superior character development, "Maid of Honor" is an above-average psychological thriller.

Unloved and plain, Lacey is an "old maid" who lives with her brother-in-law, Richard, and his two children after the death of her sister. Aunt Lacey is a superb cook and a wonderful caregiver. However, lurking underneath the kind veneer is an obsessed and manipulative individual. Smoldering with hidden passion for Richard, Lacey will stop at nothing to get what she desires.

"Maid of Honor" is presented in an engaging and suspenseful way, and the actors/actresses are excellent in their roles. Linda Pearl, who portrays Lacey, brings poignancy and depth to a role that could have been two-dimensional, and the viewer feels a small degree of sympathy toward her. The scenes with Richard's little boy, Danny, are chilling as Pearl's character sews seeds of doubt into the youngster's heart. Linden Ashby is excellent in his portrayal of Richard.

If you're searching for a sutle thriller that probs the psychological depths of its characters, then please give this movie a chance. God bless.

I remember watching this first on italian tv. I was not impressed but when i saw it available on dvd i was tempted to see it again because some images from the movie tempted me to see it again This time i really enjoyed (maybe it was in its origianl language). I never knew linda purl before. She makes her character real and sorrowful. the story is not an original one but it kept me on edge to the end. One of he best b movies i have ever seen! Recommend to those who like watching "evil" trillers!!

Not even good enough for second billing. There's Widescreen,and Fullscreen versions. This should have been Noscreen. It's just not right to charge people money to watch this.
