SEEDS OF YESTERDAY

(2015) Having seen the three previous Lifetime-made films based on the insanely-popular V.C. Andrews's Flowers in the Attic series of novels - each movie worse than the last - I still wasn't prepared by just how bad the finale, Seeds of Yesterday, was going to be.  Chris and Cathy's children are grown now, and their middle son Bart (James Maslow, former member of boy band Big Time Rush) - who proved himself a mentally unstable kid in the previous film - has grown into a certified cuckoo.  Unfortunately, he's also inherited the over-the-top pious religious zealot complex of his great-grandfather ... as well as the Foxworth fortune, even going so far as to legally change his last name to Foxworth.  So not only is the dude bananas-on-a-homicidal-level and soon-to-be rich, he's also the only one of the kids who knows the true secret behind who their parents really are ... has to have everything his ballet star older brother has (even if that extends to the pregnant wife) ... and, though trying to deny it with every supposedly-Christian bone in his body, has the hots for his adopted sister.  Yes, it's just another day in the life of the jacked-up Dollanganger - now Sheffield - family.  Add incredibly bad acting, an insulting-to-your-intelligence script, and more melodrama than Shakespeare's entire back catalog, and except for Maslow's handsome face and extremely nice body, even sans commercials this was one loooong hour and twenty-four minutes to sit through. (TV-14)  1/10 stars
