After running through something like 10 Lacey Chabert movies during the holiday season, Amazon is now offering up additional Chabert content - which has not helped when I pondered "what if I drove everyone nuts by making 2025 the year I watch and discuss *every* Lacey Chabert movie?" Because, friends, she has 183 credits already, and is, like, 42. That's not 183 movies - she's voiced several cartoons (including Supergirl on Harley Quinn), and been on a few TV series. A glance at her IMDB suggests she's doing like 10-12 projects every year - and a heap of those are 90 minute TV movies.
Anyway - I'm not going to cover all of that. But I'm also not going to not do it. Who else will be the chronicler of Lacey Chabert's career arc?
Imaginary Fried (2012) is about eight years after Mean Girls. It's a Lifetime movie, and part of the "someone close to me is trying to kill me" fantasy that characterized a lot of Lifetime's programming at one point. Lifetime is a weird bastion of noirish programming that gets overlooked, but if these movies were black and white and the characters spoke with Mid-Atlantic accents, we'd just shrug and include them in the category as maybe B's.
