The term "Lifetime movie
bad" refers to when a film is poorly produced, has cheap cinematography, poor editing, and an overused concept and storyline.
The actors in these films are usually unknowns, D-Listers, or
washed-up performers who may have had
one Oscar worthy performance, but then their careers went to crap shortly thereafter. Most of the actors milk their emotions to the
point of over-exaggeration.
This term came from the fact that Lifetime movies are poorly produced that it need not be shown in the cinema. It is strictly made-for-TV.
Average Joe: "I heard that new Sarah Jessica
Parker movie sucked".
Tom: "Yeah man. Talk about Lifetime Movie
bad. Plot sucked and the acting was cheap".
