A sorority prank gone wrong leads to a bloody murder spree in this slasher film featuring Rumer Willis, Audrina Patridge, and Carrie Fisher. It was supposed to be a practical joke, but no one was laughing after a girl in the prime of her life had been accidentally murdered. Desperate to go on with their lives and avoid taking responsibility for their actions, the surviving sisters and their male accomplice agree to dump the body and never speak of the incident again. Just after graduation, however, a mysterious killer begins stalking everyone who harbors the bloody secret, leading the survivors to fight for their lives against a masked maniac with a deadly modus operandi. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Another Americanization of a popular British TV series, Life is Wild was inspired by the BBC comedy-drama Wild at Heart. D.W. Moffett headed the cast as New York-based veterinarian Danny Clarke, who on little more than a whim relocated himself, his second wife Jo (Stephanie Niznik) and their four children (two from his first marriage, two from hers) to a new home in South Africa. The Clarke family reconnoitered at the Blue Antelope, a game preserve and safari lodge run by Danny's crusty father-in-law Art (David Butler) (his daughter was Danny's late first wife). Though the kids thought that Danny was crazy, wife Jo did her best to be supportive, using her skills as a lawyer to help rebuild the Blue Antelope into a thriving concern, despite stiff competition from a newer, more tourist-friendly lodge owned by Art's rival Colin Banks (Jeremy Sheffield). The rest of the characters included Danny's level-headed daughter Katie (Leah Pipes) and his frisky son Chase (K'sun Ray; Jo's rebellious son Jesse (Andrew St. John) and sports-nut daughter Mia (Mary Matilyn); Colin Banks' twin children, handsome-hunk son Oliver (Jeremy Sheffield) and drop-dead-gorgeous daughter Emily (Tiffany Mulheron); Tumelo (Atandwa Kani), a local teenager who aspired to become a veterinarian himself; and singer-bartender Mbali (Precious Kofi), for whose attentions Jesse and Tumelo carried on a friendly competition. Filmed on location in South Africa, Life is Wild debuted October 7, 2007 on CW, in the Sunday-night timeslot formerly occupied by Seventh Heaven. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A 15-year-old soccer sensation who's well on her way to joining the U.S. National Team discovers that there is more to life than scoring the next big goal in this sports-themed comedy for the whole family. Ever since Sara Davis (Leah Pipes) was a young girl, her soccer fanatic father has pushed her to do her very best on the field. When word gets out that the National Development Team has found out about Sara and is sending a scout to witness her incredible talent firsthand, it appears that if all of her rigorous training has finally paid off. But Sara's best friend, Tutti, thinks her athletic pal needs to get off of the field and into the real world for a change. It's a whole new ballgame when you're not leading your team to victory in the big game, though, and now, as Sara begins to branch out and experience everything from the wonders of chemistry to the stress of prom night, each new day brings a whole new surprise for the girl whose previous short-sightedness had prevented her from seeing beyond the bleachers. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

The tyranny, cruelty, and sheer hell of high-school peer pressure and teen bullying has seldom been so vividly realized as in this made-for-cable drama, which some critics have likened to the theatrical feature Mean Girls. Alexa Vega heads the cast as Vanessa, a popular straight-A student who enjoys the friendship of campus queen Stacey (Leah Pipes). But when a quarrel fomented by a couple of Stacey's envious hangers-on results in a rift between Stacey and Vanessa, the latter girl suddenly finds herself persona non grata. Treated as a leper by her schoolmates, Stacey is not only exiled from the "cool" lunch table and subjected to vicious insults and accusations in the hallway, but she is also victimized by a "Hate Stacey" website -- but when her mom, Barbara (Lisa Vidal), complains to the principal, she is bluntly told that the school has no authority over any non-school activities, no matter how odious they may be. Driven to desperation by this onslaught of hostility, Vanessa becomes dangerously self-destructive, and it takes the combined efforts of her mother and her fellow "outcast" Emily (Shari Dyon Perry) to restore our heroine's pride and self-esteem...and, ultimately, to get her real priorities back on track. Director Tom McLoughlin, hitherto a specialist in horror films, invests this adaptation of Rachel Simmons' novel with just the right amount of foreboding and subliminal evil. First telecast by the Lifetime channel on April 4, 2005, Odd Girl Out obviously struck a nerve with viewers, if the incredible outpouring of audience response in both print and on the Internet is any indication. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Mitch Rouse starred in this seriocomic ABC series as Michael Davis, a brilliant ad man who was so dedicated to his work that little if any time was left over for his wife, Rachel (Connie Britton), and their three kids. It was Rachel who put the brakes on Michael by informing him one morning that she intended to divorce him if he did not begin creating "quality time" for his family. Some of Michael's efforts to bond with his children were, to put it mildly, ill-advised, but at least he had the moral support of his boss and best friend, Jordan King (Gregory Hines), a battle-scarred veteran of numerous failed marriages who wished that someone had given him a second chance to become a human being. Created by Michael Jacobs of Boy Meets World fame, Lost at Home debuted April 1, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
