In 2024’s The Wrong Life Coach, Morgan Bradley stars as Jordan Roberts, whose popularity as a high school cheerleader did little to prepare her for the pressures of adult life.  Her career is going nowhere.  Her boss (Vivica A. Fox) does not respect her.  Her boyfriend (Hector David, Jr.) is bored with her and their vanilla sex life.  Her mother (Tracy Nelson) is living with her and trying to control her life.  Jordan needs someone to help her get her life together.  She needs a life coach!

(Personally, I’ve never gotten the whole life coach thing but whatever.  Apparently, it works for some people.)

A chance meeting with Liz Kimble (Allison McAtee) changes Jordan’s life.  Though Jordan doesn’t really remember her, she and Liz went to high school together.  And it turns out that Liz is now a life coach!  Soon, Liz is encouraging Jordan to take sexy pictures, demand more from her career, and to stand up to her domineering mother!

At first, it all seems perfect.  Except …. Liz is not a certified life coach!  She’s just repeating a bunch of stuff that she heard from her own life coach, Rhonda (Meredith Thomas).  It may sound like the start of a hilarious comedy but it turns out that Liz is a little bit crazy.  Liz has never gotten over losing her spot on the cheerleading squad to Jordan and now, she’s determined to get revenge,

In quick order, Jordan loses her job, her relationship with her mother, and nearly her boyfriend as well!  Plus, her best friend has gone missing!  After Jordan tells Liz to get lost, Liz begins to obsessively stalk Jordan.  What Jordan doesn’t know is that Liz has placed hidden cameras all over her house and she’s even hacked into Jordan’s email.  Jordan thinks that she’s had a good job interview with Mr. Gordon. (Hey, it’s Eric Roberts!)  But remember those lingerie-clad photos that Liz encouraged Jordan to send to her boyfriend?  Well, those pictures end up getting sent to Mr. Gordon as well.

“I couldn’t hire you if I wanted to,” Mr. Gordon says.  When even Eric Roberts refuses to work with you, you know you’ve asked the wrong person for advice!

“Girl, you listened the wrong life coach.”

She sure did!

I love the Lifetime “Wrong” films.  The Wrong Life Coach is a tremendous amount of fun, from Allison McAtee’s over-the-top performance as Liz to the side-eye that Vivica A. Fox gives Jordan every time she makes a mistake.  As always, with the “Wrong” films, director David DeCoteau fully embraces the melodrama and creates a film that’s so ludicrous that you can’t help but love it.  Any director could make a film about a crazy life coach.  But only David DeCoteau has the courage to have that life coach make her diabolical plans while wearing her old high school cheerleader uniform.

Watching this film reminded me of how much I love Lifetime and its demented films.  I look forward to reviewing a lot more of them in 2025!

Hopefully, more than a few of them will feature Eric Roberts!
