Jessica and her son, Noah, flee from abusive husband, Peter Howard, who is a tech millionaire. They end up moving to an island where her sister, Rachel, lives in California and starting over fresh. Unfortunately, Peter is never going to let her go and vows to find her and their son wherever they run to! As they get situated, some new people on the island enter their lives. Jessica is a teacher and is constantly on her guard when she wakes up constantly in the middle of the night because she thinks Peter has finally found her. Is it just her imagination or is she right??? You will have to tune in for the answer! The acting was pretty good and there was a plot twist at the end. Worth a watch!!!

"Rear View Mirror"/"Hiding From My Husband" Waste of time with rehashed plotlines, dialogue, and two unsurprising twists at the end - (I suspected Jessica's sister all along as being nefarious and untrustworthy) - and the usual absurd LMN plotholes. BUT I only created this review to state how continually struck I was by Kayla Fields' strong resemblance to TV actress legend Mary Tyler Moore. I'm not saying she's her twin, but she could believably play the daughter MTM never had. Her facial features - especially eyes and mouth - are so similar to MTM's that Fields could play MTM herself in a bio flick, which I'd love to see. Grade D / 2 out of 10.

Seriously, what was this ending? The movie started out good, I love an abused wife trope when she gets away and has to fight the husband. So, we were all good there! Despite there being some questionable plot things here and there I actually enjoyed this movie quite a bit. The beginning was especially good. And then the end happened. WHAT WAS THAT?? Why was there a plot twist in the last five minutes of the movie that made absolutely no sense? I mean seriously, it would have made more sense for the sister to be working with the husband to get the money than the insane crap they came up with. Good ole lifetime though. Gotta love the insanely bad ones. And this was it down to the cheesy, horrible happy ending. Lmfao.

"Hiding From My Husband" (aka, "Rear View Mirror") is a film with an ending that may only be described as "over the top" both literally and figuratively. At the start of the film, Jessica ("Jess") Howard is living in abject fear of her abusive husband Peter. Jess is successful in leaving home with some cash and her young son Noah, fleeing from San Francisco to Catalina Island. Through the assistance of her sister Rachel, Jess locates a beach home and works as a substitute teacher at the local high school. She also links up with a nice colleague named Matt. But she remains emotionally distraught and lives with the feeling that Peter may locate her at any time. The sister diagnoses Jess with PTSD. Nearly all of the film was approached earnestly as a case study of domestic abuse. Which makes the film's bizarre ending all the more perplexing. The "over the top" effect occurs when Peter finally returns and charges like a raging bull at Jess. The problem is that they are on top of a cliff, and Jess dodges him like a matador. For Jess and the father of her child, this was a real cliffhanger! And what are we to make of the curious line when Rachel addresses her sister as follows: "If it's not about Jordan, you don't care." For the entire film, Rachel addressed her sister as "Jess." But by referring to her with the name "Jordan," it sounded as if Rachel was now a character in a different film. This was a decent, serious film until the weird ending. Then, things imploded, and everything went just over the top.

Why is it so hard to get a decent movie on Lifetime? This is a movie like Enough with Jennifer Lopez and that's not saying much but this isn't even as good as that. It is a below tier, below tier movie. Not a B movie more like a C or D movie. I used to love watching Lifetime movies. They used to have movies covering stories that were ripped from the headlines and they even had a few noteworthy actors play parts in them. These days it's just all a lot of really bad acting in really crappy movies. There's no real suspense or even a reason to be interested in the characters. They are literally movies that you just turn on in the background and not pay any attention to them. It's sad. I wish they'd bring back something worth watching.
