After undergoing an emergency hysterectomy, Tracy Horton wakes up to realize that her life as she knows it is over. Tracy had always dreamed of having a family, and now her dream is dead. Because her life is over, she vows to make life miserable for the people responsible, including Dr. Eva Warden, who performed the surgery (played by Beth Broderick, better known as Sabrina The Teenage Witch's aunt) and Tracy's own friends who consented to the surgery. In a hilarious turn of events, Tracy begins her revenge plot by switching the now pregnant Dr. Warden's progesterone with cooking oil, switching pregnancy tests in the doctor's office, and using her friends' business to get back at Dr. Warden's husband. <br /> <br />I have no problem admitting that I love Lifetime movies, and this one is one of my favorites. It's kind of like The Hand That Rocks the Cradle meets Conspiracy Theory. Tracy really does believe that she's been targeted by the doctor and cannot imagine that she was just a victim of circumstance. In her mind, the hysterectomy was no accident, and the people responsible have to pay. That kind of delusional behavior is so much fun to watch, particularly when you have Delta Burke playing the lead. This movie is hilarious and a great time when you're in the mood for a laugh. True, I'm sure it was meant in all seriousness, but when you watch the movie you'll realize why you have to laugh at it. Watch Maternal Instincts when you have time to kick back and enjoy yourself, but don't expect great cinema. It is only Lifetime after all.
Viewer Reviews
In my opinion this is a good movie. I find no fault with Delta Burke. I loved her on Designing Women. I only liked watching the episodes that she was on. Delta is an inspiration to me because of the way that she has come through the rough times in her life.
About this movie, Maternal Instincts, I think Delta Burke did a good job of playing a depressed women obsessed with having a baby, when she is sterilized without her consent (due to her husband's permission) after undergoing surgery for cancer. When Delta's character finds out that she can no longer have children, she goes out for revenge against the doctor and everyone who she feels is at fault.
I taped this movie off TV. The video I taped it on was kind of old, so when I sat down to watch it today I saw that the video is messed up. I plan to purchase another one.
