I'd definitely rate this movie as mediocre all around. I've seen stories like this all the time. So&So starts off doing something morally wrong for money to get out of debt or to buy something they desperately want, then by the time they're out of debt or have everything they wanted and are at a good stopping point, they're addicted to the money until the they hit a wall, like police arriving to arrest them. Stories like this are a dime a dozen, even Pepper Ann had a similar episode to this, involving using her friend as a slave to cut lawns for her, so she can use the money to buy roller-skates. I think even The Weekenders did an episode similar to this, involving selling cheaply made, yet over-priced slushys to people without a food serving license. It's a very old plot, whether this movie was based off a true story or not. As for the acting, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Cybil Shepard do their best, but the script is pretty bad. Also, this movie is TV-14 on Lifetime, so yeah, a lot of innuendo but nothing too bad.
