Synopsis
Spoiler shield
After a tense few months following a miscarriage and an unemployment spell, things are finally looking up for Sean and Lisa Miller when Sean lands his dream job at an advertising firm. But when Sean’s assistant, Jen, his self-proclaimed “Work Wife,” begins vying for his affection, it soon becomes clear that she will stop at nothing to rip their marriage apart and claim him as her own.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”

- kohlgill★ 7/10
Cerina Vincent’s “Jen” carries this movie. Not a fan of the writing or score. The other technical aspects were effective, though. If you’re in for a pulpy, exploitative mini-soap opera, you could do a lot worse.
