Love Helen Hunt , she did a great job as usually

It’s just downright tragic … Greg was the type of guy that any woman with an ounce of respect and dignity of that time would have loved to have had - a man who _wanted_ to get married and have a kid, wanted to admire his wife and care for her, had a wonderful loving relationship with his family (who were willing to accept his wife and treat her as their own), came from a good background, and knew when it was time to be serious while still wanting to have some fun and be humorous. Pam took all of that for granted and couldn’t stand not having things her way. She didn’t feel in control of him anymore and started pushing the abuse narrative real early. The next best thing she could do? Manipulate a young teen with a crush on her to “make it right” so she could be in control again. Absolutely despicable. Helen Hunt did such a wonderful job in this movie. In fact, the whole cast did. I know it wasn’t easy to portray something so traumatic and heartbreaking, but they got it done to show the real horrors of this woman.

She had to be very stupid to think she could get away with this.

Cecelia, Billy, and the rest of the gang were pissed that Pam reneged on their arrangement, which was money for murder. Pam kept the money from Gregg's life insurance and never paid it forward to her under dogs. The gang's fury at how they were discarded and never paid for their role in Pam's wicked scheme made way for loose lips and carelessness. I've read comments on how Cecelia was even jealous of Pam, which is why she cooperated with the prosecution. Say what? Come again! Cecelia cooperated to save herself from a lengthy stint in prison. Cecelia was a complicit confidant with an ulterior motive, which was an easy high school diploma and fast money. Cecelia knew that Pam could pull strings to help her graduate if necessary, for she was a student in her special ed program. I don't think Cecelia was as intrigued by Pam as some have speculated. Cecelia wanted what she could muster from Pam, who was happy to give because she, too, had an ulterior motive. Once the plan to kill Gregg was in place, and there was the promise of money, Cecelia was all too happy and comfortable to play the game for a payout. Cecelia was no angel, nor was she naive or vulnerable.

The mundane reality takes over, people get used to each other, etc, they feel unappreciated and unstimulated, so they seek divorce or affairs on the side. People need to think very carefully before making a lifetime commitment and remember, that grass always seems greener on the other side, because they don't tend to their own grass at home.

'Love is a serious mental disease' - Plato

Pam went on a media rampage in the beginning, always plugging the circuits. When the killers' identities were finally broadcast, a reporter knocked on the door of her condo for an interview, and she gave him the quick hand slam right in his face. People were baffled why the notorious grieving widow would be so private because the wheels of justice seemed to be turning in her favor once police apprehended the suspects in question, but no, not Pam. What a piece of work. I'll never forget how quickly she slammed the door in that reporter's face, especially after being a media queen.

There was a really good series about a teacher a student affair & showed how she was not satisfied in her marriage & turned to a teenager in her class . He it showed the emotionally damage it did to the student . Also how she made it all about her & not the responsibility of how a student would be affected , after it all came out , she was arrested for being with a minor , the student was initially seen as cool for having a sexual relationship with a teacher at university, yet he got really stressed . He trained to work with affected children & they met by chance years later , it was brilliant & showed the damage she had done as he said “ I see my brother now the age we got together & he looks so young , she tried to blame him & he said again u make it all about you ! You were meant to be the adult !

Thank you for posting this. Most enjoyable.

In the end,this evil lady destroyed anyone and everyone,she came into contact with. From her own family,to her husband's family,the young kids she manipulated to carry out her sinister plots,their families and of course most of all her husband. It was just to the degree of destruction she brought,to everyone that she met that was different. From kids life's being destroyed,their families suffering to the ultimate act of death to her husband and immeasurable lifelong torment to her husband's loving mother and dad. The saving grace in all this,is that this lady,who really in effect had a great life,but for her wasn't enough,and wanted it all,just for herself at any cost,destroyed her own life for good in her case too. Brought about by thinking she was smarter then everyone else. But forgot,when attempting to commit the perfect murder,trying to project a clean all loving heartbroken wife,manipulating kids to do your dirty work,is a risky business. By being so arrogant,that she thought she could tell friends of her target she was grooming to kill her husband,and an teen School assistant as well,about her plans,and it would not come back to bite her,one way or another. On the outside,to her husband,his parents and the world she looked like the real deal. Untill you saw the real her,when the doors were closed in private. She was someone who could of gone far in tv as she wanted,and thank God she never got the chance to run in politics. She might have gone far. Rest in peace to her husband. May his parents have found comfort and I pray the kids she damaged have been able to repair their lives with gods eternal grace.

They need his testimony against Pam….he was so twisted from being balls deep that he thought that he was “in love” (ya, ok) but without his testimony they may have not gotten her and she needed to be gotten as she is pure poison and evil!

This was a big story. Hunt is a good, as always. The real woman, geesh, what a horrific, manipulative, pervert. As I emphasize with Billy, the only excuse to kill, is self defense.

Thank goodness for Helen Hunt 🙂

To show how manipulative and selfish she is, when Smart recruited the three students to enter the video contest, she said that she would take the Florida trip AND half of the cash prize. Meanwhile, the three kids would have to split the other half of the cash prize between them? They should have gotten all of it.

I was just reading background on her. It so doesn't make sense...she was 22 and married, not abused, not long neglected...why seduce a 15 year old and have him kill your husband? If she was the heavy metal maiden and wild child, then why did she marry young to have that good girl persona? Why go to college and marry at all? Could have lived drugs, sex and rock and roll. And puh-lease...Van Halen is not the personification of 'heavy metal'. At that time, Eddie was married to Valerie Bertinelli, the sweet girl next door. I know the answer is that Pamela was a narcissist; a relatively new concept, but I always questions when the sum of an equation doesn't add up...married less than a year...what was her motive? I swear there are no good guys around because psycho bitches have them under wraps
