Full Plot Details

Living in the small town of Storm Lake, married upper middle class couple Robert and Sarah Benson faced a life changing incident five years ago when a freak accident led to a then pregnant Sarah, an organic hobby farmer, losing the baby and not being able to conceive children anymore. Feeling guilty for not fixing their broken dock which caused the accident, Robert, an author of personal financial management self help books, took to the bottle, although he has now been sober for six months. Robert dotes on their only child, six year old Sully, and constantly worries about her diabetic condition. They are pursuing adoption as Sarah believes another child would bring a much needed balance into their lives, especially in getting Robert out of his funk. He has been in this state specifically since his last book tour, about which he does not remember much due to his drinking and hard partying. They believe they have finally found the perfect adoption mother in Bridgette Gibson, a young woman in a difficult personal situation, she who is currently living in a shelter. As such, Robert and Sarah decide to let Bridgette live with them until the child is born in three months time. Bridgette entering their lives is not by accident, she who orchestrated it along with her redneck boyfriend Dwayne Tisdale. She is keeping a couple of secrets, one from the Bensons and another from Dwayne in getting what she alone wants. These secrets are added to one already kept by Robert, who has to balance his against his family's best interest in whether to come clean. This mixture of secrets has the potential to lead to deadly consequences.

Movie Reviews

AV Club - 7/10 by Joshua AlstonAdoption is a fun oddity instead of the minor cultural moment it could have been.
Hollywood Reporter - 4/10 by Keith UhlichBeyond Ferrell, Wiig and company's superficial assurance at keeping the one-joke premise going (right up to a climactic musical number that elicits a chuckle or two), the film feels disconnected and utterly disposable.
User Review - 10/10 by Kamran NThere are reviews for the film released. Variety, AV Club and more have posted their reviews for the film.
User Review - 8/10 by Jonathan CIt takes a while to get going, but the last 30 minutes were horribly hilarious in the best way possible.
User Review - 8/10 by Wesley FGreat story line. I was about 15 minutes into movie waiting for Will and Kristen to crack a joke. Good but crazy to see them in a drama
User Review - 8/10 by Karen ZA brilliant parody of the Lifetime Original Movie much in the tradition of Airplane! I loved every ridiculous minute and Will Ferrell looking like Chuck Norris is just icing on the cake.
User Review - 8/10 by Lucie FMade for cable movie from Lifetime about a couple, Sarah (an successful organic farm stand owner) and Robert (a successful author), expecting their second child when Sarah suffers a tragic fall off their dock and loses the unborn child. The two are stricken with grief. Robert throws himself into promotional tours of his new book (an alcohol) and Sarah focuses on her farm stand. The couple then meet a pregnant young woman who they take into their home in hopes of adopting her child and turning their lives around. But when the young woman ends up not being who they thought, things begin to get deadly. However, Sarah and Robert are played by SNL alumni Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell, so the film is done squarely with tongue in cheek. The stereotype of Lifetime Channel women-in-peril films are ripe for parody, but "A Deadly Adoption" is not a "Scary Movie" or "Blazing Saddles" type of parody that's filled with wall-to-wall gags. For the most part, this film is played very straight. If someone were to watch this film and had no idea who Wiig or Ferrell were, or that a former SNL writer was the author of this film, you'd probably think that this was merely a cheesy made-for-cable movie. However, knowing the comedy powerhouses involved in this film, there are subtle nods in-between the mock drama and suspense to the filmmakers' real comic intentions; such as the obvious foreshadowing with their daughter's diabetic condition ("I found an unopened box of chocolate today. You know the dangers of diabetic ketoacidosis!") or when the surrogate mother pleads, ""Please don't make me shoot you again!" The film hits all the Lifetime movie stereotypes with a straight face and it all comes off as a brilliant and subversively meta comedy.
User Review - 8/10 by Aaron SEveryone wanted this to end up being funny, but the point was that it wasn't supposed to be funny, and that's what makes it funny. To see two SNL alums both known for their comedy contributions in straight played roles in a lifetime movie was as refreshing as it was absurd. The scene at the very end allows the audience to acknowledge that they were had, and that Wiig and Ferrell were self-aware and in on the joke-or lack thereof the entire time. I got a kick out of it and so should you.
User Review - 6/10 by Laura SI'm imagining Kristen Wigg and Will Ferrell one day being like "what if we made a Lifetime movie, just because we can?" What results is basically a movie that is just like every other Lifetime movie, to the extent that it becomes easy enough to forget who is starring, and just revel in the campiness.
User Review - 6/10 by Jill REntertaining guilty pleasure nonsense Grade B
