In "A Deadly Adoption," Ferrell and Wiig play a married
couple who invite the pregnant mother of the baby they are
adopting into their home, only the woman (Jessica Lowndes) seems
to have sinister plans to make herself a more permanent member
of the family (hint: watch out Kristin Wiig).
The one-minute trailer offers up all the dramatic and emotional
elements best known for Lifetime's infamous low-budget dramas,
such as Lindsay Lohan's much-ridiculed turn as Elizabeth Taylor
in 2012's "Liz & Dick."
"A Deadly Adoption," airing on the Lifetime network on Saturday,
is an interesting choice for both Ferrell and Wiig, who parlayed
their popular stints on NBC's sketch show "Saturday Night Live"
into successful film careers.
Despite "A Deadly Adoption" serving up a tongue-in-cheek take on
Lifetime's made-for-TV melodramas, Ferrell and Wiig seemingly
have put aside their comedy chops to play up the emotional
plotline of the film.
