"The Wrong Student" was a painful film to watch. Even the film's background was depressing as the common history of the two soccer players, Amber and Maddie, was based on the tragic circumstances of parents who were killed in auto accidents, leaving the two girls orphans.

Amber has a contentious relationship with her aunt and guardian, Kelly Halligan. Amber resents what she perceives as a distant, uncaring aunt. For her part, Aunt Kelly was also distraught with the death of her brother and sister-in-law. With her niece in tow, Kelly has now moved from New York to a new location to start her own business and run away from the past.

By contrast, Maddie does not have a kind guardian, and has somehow found a way to live by herself in an apartment while completing high school. She evidently has no one in her life to care for her. As a result, she has fixated on the new soccer coach, Dominic Antal.

Maddie was far too sympathetic a character to be believable as a killer. And Dominic was so stupid that he was instantly drawn into her orbit. He should have recognized much sooner the threat posed by Maddie. Instead, he makes mistake after mistake in allowing her to wreak havoc on the lives of Coach Hendricks, the student Riley Jones, Aunt Kelly, and Amber.

The best part of the film was the bonding of the aunt and her daughter, which took place gradually over the course of the traumatic events incited by Maddie. It would have been a better film with the character of Maddie removed. In that way, we could have seen the heartfelt bonding of two people coming together in a shared expression of grief. Instead of "The Wrong Student," this film should have been "The Right Aunt."

Two girls, both of whom lost their parents under tragic circumstances meet and the fun begins.

One girl moves to California from New York to start life anew. Both the aunt and the other girl, not her niece, fall for the soccer coach and since the other girl is quite a psychotic, the real fun begins.

Naturally, there is another boy who knows too much so he is killed off quickly and the killer unsuccessfully tries to frame the other girl. Then there is the matter of the head coach who sees her flirting with the coach and for her efforts,is made to suffer an allergic reaction. She becomes comatose and for the rest of the movie, she is totally unheard or briefly spoken about.

After working together in another "The Wrong ____" Lifetime TV movie particularly "The Wrong Roommate", Jessica Morris and Jason-Shane Scott together with William McNamara and Vivica A. Fox appear together with director David DeCoteau in another Lifetime TV thriller entitled "The Wrong Student".Evanne Friedmann and Kennedy Tucker co-stars as the High School student troublemaker Maddie and the Amber respectively.

Amber's parents died unexpectedly and she goes to live with her Aunt Kelly after the car accident happened.They also make an unexpected move from New York to California wherein Amber tries to get into the football team.Aunt Kelly,who happens to be a business owner,takes Amber to school including the tryouts and meets the handsome football coach Dominic.A relationship starts between them to the dissatisfaction and disgust of another High School student Maddie,who is obviously obsessed with Coach Dominic.

Being a typical Lifetime TV movie and having the common story lines of "The Wrong _____" movies,we get to see Maddie provides a lot of trainwreck to the characters involved from Aunt Kelly,Dominic and Amber.As always,"The Wrong _______" movies provides us psychotic villains who would not take "no" for an answer.Things get crazy after Coach Dominic turned down Maddie's seduction that she started to wreak havoc among the other characters.Then the movie had to end and Maddie needed to be stopped obviously not by the police but by the other characters when she already got out of hand.

No doubt that the regular Lifetime TV viewers are treated with the same story lines and the same cast from "The Wrong Roommate". One thing good about it is there is suspense happening and Evanne Friedmann could be commended as the troublemaker Maddie.There was also less flaunting of sexy abs by Jason-Shane Scott and Jessica Morris does not need to be seen on a bathing suit unlike in their previous "The Wrong Roommate" effort.
