This Movie Is Basically Delocated Minus Jon Glaser And Plus Rape And Terrorism?

Lesser Evil trailer, you guys:

"Why don't you stop being a badge for just a minute."
--Your Tombstone

Just to get this straight: a fashion designer for TJ Maxx was punched in the stomach and raped by a government informant but also he is a Northeastern Terrorist (?) and then she gets shoved in a parking lot by someone who has always wanted to go to an Eyes Wide Shut party but can't afford the valet fees and she goes to court but the judge is like "Overrulled!," and someone on a BlueTooth is like "they're taking all our fiiillllles." Then the government is like "if you accuse someone of rape who is a government informant we are going to make you go to a mental hospital, because conspiracies!" and she is like "I'm taking justice into my own hands because this is one fashion designer who is pret-a-shooter."

This has to be straight-to-DVD because even third-market cable companies are like "Sorry, it seems like the 3-6AM slot is taken that night?"

"What night?"

"All of them."

Does she keep getting raped throughout the whole movie? It really seems that way.
At her house after the fashion show.
At her house later that day.
In the parking lot.
In the bathroom after court.

Huh?

This is the plot to at least one (if not more) episodes of Law and Order: SVU.

Do rape victims really go around town posting artist sketches of their attacker with the words "RAPIST" in large, bold letters? I mean, I guess it's direct and to the point, but is it effective?

Also, how is she the new darling of the fashion world? Her runway clothes look really slutty, plus the runway show looks like it's taking place in some shady bar. I'm confused.

I laughed so hard at "Sorry, it seems like the 3-6AM slot is taken that night?" I don't know why. Also this trailer made me feel guilty for laughing at rape.

I hope the terrorist/assasin/rapist is trying to get a career in stand-up started.

Check out that sweet MS-Word-style Word Art at the end, too! Italics, red drop shadow? Classic.

The voice over sounds like it's for a kids' action-comedy movie.
"In a world where rapist and government conspiracies run rampant, only one person can stop them: The Fashion Detective."

Are we supposed to be on her side? Standing up in the court room and yelling something from the audience is so obnoxious and faux-heroic. They have to start all over with a new jury now! It's like the naked wizard standing up to 'the system.' You're wasting everyone's time!

I bet this whole movie is her stumbling through fictional red tape thats entirely dependent on everyone else being mean to her, like how all the adults are mean and disapproving in movies starring children. There is paper work to file when you get raped! And if it's a government employee, then go to the news paper or something. Pretty much all conspiracy stories could be resolved with 'take it to the news paper or something.'

Holy forked-tongued Christ - what happened to Marc Singer's face? He looks like a V lizard sans mask.

if you ever wondered what happened to people like Daphne Zuniga, Molly Ringwald or Eric Roberts, they're here in Canada, making that kind of masterpiece.
Our cable channels are chock-a=block with them...
Not as fun as you might think...

I don't understand why it didn't end with the voiceover saying, "...on Lifetime."

I liked Thea Gill better when she was the world's most rubbish lesbian.

For all the unrealistic crap that happens in this trailer, I'm mostly annoyed by the break in rapist. I guess I'm annoyed by people denying that rapes happen in the numbers they do and that women are mostly lying because they think it's the "man in the bushes" that rapes, not the acquaintance. And here it is again. And in every movie ever.
