It's no Mother, May I Sleep with Danger?, but it'll do: The trailer for Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig’s made-for-TV movie, A Deadly Adoption, has been released, and it couldn't get more Lifetime-y if it tried.

In the super short clip, Wiig is shown with a gun, and co-star Jessica Lowndes is driving a truck that's headed straight for a bearded Ferrell, who is standing in the middle of the road. It ends with Ferrell telling Lowndes, "You really are a strange girl," and then giving a rueful chuckle.
