**_The teen girl from hell_** An unruly 18 years-old orphaned girl (Sydney Sweeney) leaves a group home and worms her way into a young couple’s life by pretending to be the long lost daughter given up for adoption by the mother (Cindy Busby). “The Wrong Daughter” (2018) is a television production that understandably lacks the artistry of Drew Barrymore’s “Poison Ivy,” yet it works well enough for a family-oriented drama with some crime thrills, prosaic though it may be. Since it came out, Sweeney’s star has risen and most people will consider her the main attraction. She was almost 20 during shooting (or just turned 20), but she’s a little too thin here. As far as I’m concerned, Cindy Busby is the real highlight on the feminine front; she was 34 during shooting. (Be sure to check her out in “Behemoth” from seven years earlier, if you haven’t already). The flick is successful in making you root against the manipulations of the troubled young lass with the middle portion causing tedium and frustration. Yet the last act delivers the goods IMHO. She’s a psycho, but some sympathy is cultivated for her, even if it’s just a little. She executes evil deeds, indeed, yet the writers wisely keep it within plausibility. Less is more. It runs 1 hour, 30 minutes, and was shot in Los Angeles. GRADE: B-
