Here Are Twitter’s Most Confused Reactions To Will Ferrell And Kristen Wiig In ‘A Deadly Adoption’

The marketing geniuses at Lifetime pulled off a major internet coup with A Deadly Adoption. They cast comedic stars Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig and allowed audiences to speculate. Would the film be a parody or a straight-up Lifetime movie? The answer is “both.”

All of the usual Lifetime tropes appeared in this typically overdramatic film. Ferrell and Wiig invite a mysterious pregnant lady into their home, and things go very wrong. Wiig says, “I think we’re going to be really happy,” as Lady Satan plots to ruin their lives. There’s an ominous lake, overzealous use of slo-mo, several instances of life-threating peril, a dead cell phone, a sick child, and a glorious cat fight. Oh, and dancing.

Twitter tuned into the movie, and reactions poured into the collective stream. On Saturday night, #ADeadlyAdoption stood as the top trending tag. All of this fuss for a completely normal Lifetime movie. Here’s how Twitter clapped back:

Let’s let Lifetime have this last word. They earned it.
