Synopsis (via Lifetime)
When a luxurious weekend brunch turns deadly after their host is found mysteriously murdered, a group of longtime friends must unravel buried secrets and survive a series of chilling attacks.
Recap/Wine Thoughts
The movie starts with some catty bitches with vocal fry, talking trash about their friends. They are the worst. Mean Girls in high school is funny, Mean Girls at 40 is tragic. They are planning a girls’ brunch reunion fo a college group of friends.
Jules is a wealthy divorcee and plans the whole trip; Ellie is the mom; Ayme is the influencer; Taryn is the girl with a boyfriend; Mya is the working single woman; and I guess our protagonist. Jules sends private drivers to drop everyone off at her estate.
Mya can’t leave work behind and calls her assistant to tell her all about the 1940’s mansion where they’ll be staying for the weekend, which is more than a brunch… it is a weekend getaway. The place doesn’t look lived in, and the caterers just drop off food and leave, too.
The whole thing feels less girl trip and more like hunting season. They are judgmental and competitive. Seems like a blast. Jules takes everyone’s phone so they can connect better, and then she ends up dead on the bathroom floor. Her champagne was poisoned.
Mya is a crisis manager and decides everyone should stick together and sweep the house for intruders and their phones, which they find neither. So naturally, the ladies turn on one another.
Taryn is injured by a statue, and Ayme gets sent down the stairs with a trip wire. Someone or something is out to get them. There is also a journal incriminating Ellie, and an antique gun goes missing. It’s like Clue, for dummies.
Kersten, another friend and RA, shows up late to the party and doesn’t believe that Jules is dead. They run upstairs, and the body is gone. Then the power goes out. They go to the gate and see it locked and wrapped in barbed wire.
After searching the property for a way out, they find a table decorated with candles and envelopes with their names on it. Jules interrupts their bickering and pistol whips Ellie. Then she reveals her master plan. She has them go around the table and turn them against one another. If the tea isn’t juicy enough, Jules will electrocute them.
We learn that Ellie’s baby daddy isn’t the father. Tayrn is cheating on her husband. Amey stole a formula from Kersten for a luxury serum. The emotions run high, and Ayme is the first to get tazed. It knocks her out.
Jules tries to convince Kerstin to work with her to expose Ayme’s intellectual property theft. Kerstin isn’t in, so Jules kills her first, for real this time. Maybe? Can you kill someone with a taser? Then Jules uses a sand timer to force everyone to tell their secrets in two minutes or less.
Mya is the only one who can’t figure out what the beef is with Jules. Mya asks Jules to let everyone else go, and she will stay and work it out. Jules doesn’t go for it and locks them in a closet with a gas leak. While they try to escape, Jules drowns Kersten in the bathtub. Maya gets around by using the servant stairways; it is an old house after all.
Mya makes it out of the gas room and into the kitchen, where she tries to reason with Jules. They spend a lot of time talking, and Ellie and Tyrn try not to breathe in carbon monoxide.
Ayme and Kerusten save each other, and it is supposed to be a touching moment, but this movie is so dumb that I just can’t expect to take it seriously. THERE IS SOMEONE NAMED AYME!!!!
Mya finds the gun and shoots Jules. Jules was mad at Mya for sending videos from last year’s brunch, where she couldn’t attend.
The police arrive and wheel Jules away.
The friends have a proper brunch without Jules and with mimosas and solved all their problems. They talk like normal people for the first time in the movie! Good for them!
STRAY Thought
How did no one die?
Last I checked, brunch is just a meal, not a weekend getaway.
