“I’m untouchable, bitch.” It only took Rob Lowe three words to capture the hearts and the minds of an entire generation (or at least just me) when Lifetime released the trailer for its original movie Drew Peterson: Untouchable last month. The film finally premiered on Saturday, and it succeeds in turning a depressing true crime story (one that remains unresolved) into a campy suspense thriller.
The film is based on true events, but as Drew Peterson hasn’t admitted to or been convicted of any actual criminal activity yet, all the movie can reasonably pull off is showing Drew Peterson being a creepy, woman-hating dick, something not even Drew Peterson denies, all with Rob Lowe made up like he’s on an episode of Undercover Boss. (“I wanted to see first hand what life was like working at Blonde Wives About To Die Industries.”)

When you watch The Bachelor you are constantly evaluating and asking yourself, “Self, imagine you are in some alternate universe in which you decided that the best way to find a wife was to star in a network reality show where 25 hussies competed for your hand in marriage. Got it, self? Now imagine that in this alternate universe you were bestowed with the same exact mob that Ben the Bachelor has received. In said alternate universe, whom would you propose to?”
Don’t lie to me, you do it, too. This scenario — this preposterous alternate universe — seems delightful at first. There you are as The Bachelor, the epicenter of this earthquake of desperation, the studly sun that a galaxy of hot cocktail waitresses, dental assistants, and farmers' daughters orbit around. But as the weeks go on and you get glimpses into the personalities, idiosyncrasies, and homicidal tendencies of the individuals around you, deciding which one to take as your bride in this alternate universe becomes a less and less enticing proposal. Courtney the Model Who Won’t Stop Talking About Being a Model is a perfect example of how your valuation can swing from “Attractive young lady, seems cool enough; I could see myself with her,” to, “If I married her I am positive I would end up faking my own death and escaping to Borneo.” And therein lies the problem with this alternate universe in which you are forced to choose one of these women: The more you know about them the less you like them, especially Courtney the Model Who Won’t Stop Talking About Being a Model.
I saw this short film at Bumbershoot.
Now it's online.
