A Deadly Adoption is a 2015 American thriller drama television film directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg (in her feature directorial debut) and written by Harper Steele.
It was described as a "deadpan parody of Lifetime Channel films" by critic Damon Wise. It stars comedians Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig as a typical middle-class husband and wife, with Jessica Lowndes serving as the villain.
It was so deadpan, that it premiered on the Lifetime Channel on June 20, 2015 with audiences failing to recognize that it was in fact satirical.
