The lead actress who played Jessica was really good and I enjoyed watching her. I was all involved in the film until midway through when the best friend overheard Jessica's sordid plot in a bar where she hired a guy to play her husband.

The best friend would have immediately texted or called her friend to share what she just heard from the psycho, but the movie absurdly has her confronting Jessica in an empty ally outside the bar all alone. What idiot would do that?! No one is that dumb. And even if she was a stupid moron, she still would've alerted her friend immediately to warn her of the plot she just heard.

After that point, the film fell apart for me, but the lead who played Jessica was very good so I kept watching to the end. I just wish these Lifetime movies would write characters more realistically and not have them turn into idiots half way through the film.

My favorite character in "Pregnant and Deadly" (a.k.a., "Dying for a Baby") is Don, the male escort hired by the film's villainess to impersonate her husband. Don only has a few brief scenes trying to hold up his end of the bargain. His biggest gaffe comes when he explains that he is on a business trip to Shanghai, which he believes is located in Japan!

Don is only one of the colorful characters in this frenetic drama about Jessica Moore's obsession with having a baby. It is clear that she will stop at nothing in order to have Amber Goodwin's delivery moved up, so that she can kidnap the child.

Amber and her husband Kyle are looking forward with great anticipation to the birth of their baby boy. As a film buff, Kyle is recording every moment of the pregnancy period, and some of the footage will be crucial in unmasking the dangerous game played by Jessica, who once had a fateful encounter when her car slid across an intersection crashing into the vehicle driven by Amber. In the process, Jessica lost her baby and may no longer carry a child. In her twisted mind, she can never forgive Amber for the accident.

Another interesting character is Amber's savvy mom, Morgan. The mother recalls an incident when her friend named "Wild Shirley" had paid for an escort date. Morgan recognizes Don as the man who dated Wild Shirley.

There is a good amount of collateral damage in the film. Jessica first murders the prospective renter of a guest house, so that she can in close proximity to Amber as her neighbor. It was also unfortunate that Amber's bestie Nicole and Blanche, her nice boss at the Savory Fare bakery, died at the hands of the psychotic Jessica. Another secondary character is Taylor, who is also carrying a baby and is duped by Jessica into believing that Jessica will adopt the child. Fortunately for Taylor and her baby, Jessica will be thwarted in her scheme.

An ambiguous character in the film was Dr. Welch, who flirted with Jessica and subsequently was forced at gunpoint by her to induce labor on Amber, so that Jessica may steal the child. In the film's denouement, Dr. Welch was not present at the birthday celebration of little Jonathan. Dr. Welch may no longer be in practice as an obstetrician, but instead may be trading in his white doctor's gown for an orange jumpsuit.

A nice chance to see Christa B Allen's post 'Revenge' work. She can do better than this though.
