Okay yes, the plot is very wattpad, it's very dhar Mann, not cutesy, not demure. And yes, the acting is flat and the characters are one dimensional.

But. It is funny to laugh at.

It does make an EFFORT at characterization. I have a feeling that all of these scenes at the beginning were an attempt to build our characters and get us into their heads before the drama starts.

It failed. The dialogue is so generic and flat that I found myself wondering if a teenager wrote the plot for a tumblr fanfic and AI stumbled across it and used it to create a script for our filmmakers. The plot really is that generic and lazy.

But like I said, this is fun to laugh at. Maybe it's just me, but I honestly enjoy finding these extremely low budget, bad drama movies- like the ones that failed to make it to Lifetime. They are so much more FUN than the ones that do this more successfully, with a bigger budget and better acting. Those ones are just boring, this is hilarious.

I tragically do not know if anyone else watches these bad romance flicks just to pick apart and laugh at the painful dialogue and youtube level acting but... you should. You should.

With the 2023 movie "Vicious Affair" being a Tubi movie, I have to admit that I wasn't exactly harboring the biggest of expectations to the movie. However, since it was a movie that I neither had heard about or seen before, then of course I opted to sit down and give director Chris Stokes the benefit of the doubt.

The storyline in "Vicious Affair" was pretty generic, even for a romantic love triangle drama. But hey, if you enjoy those kind of movies, then you're in for quite a treat from writers Marques Houston and Chris Stokes. However, I found the narrative, script and storyline to be a bland and overly generic one, where the writers offered nothing new to the genre. And that made "Vicious Affair" feel like any other random love triangle movie out there. Nothing really differentiated this 2023 movie from so many other similar movies.

It should be noted, though, that the acting performances in the movie were good. I was only vaguely familiar with actor Robert Ri'chard on the entire cast ensemble in this movie. Leading actresses Annie Ilonzeh and Blac Chyna carried the movie quite nicely with their performances.

Sure, "Vicious Affair" was watchable enough, but it wasn't a particularly outstanding or memorable movie experience. Nor is it a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.

My rating of "Vicious Affair" lands on a four out of ten stars.
