I Married Who?

I shouldn't enjoy this movie as much as I do. I usually watch movies quietly, but this movie makes me want to yell at the TV. Mostly at her original fiancé because what kind of man lets his bride-to-be go off to Vegas without a rock on her important finger? Also, I yell at the bride for not telling him the truth from the start. I also want to yell at the barista for her mistake. I don't feel like I've spoiled anything, because it happens in the first 5 minutes (maybe 10) of the show. Frankly, I'm not surprised at the ending. I could see it coming from the start. It's not one I'd watch every day, but a few times a year for sure.

I respected Kelly Martin until I watched this movie. How stupid can she be? She has so many options. And if she can't think of them, her fiancé must be a pretty dumb lawyer because he should be giving her options.

Yes it's a comedy. Hence all the stupidity. So get past that. Trouble is, I don't like comedy based on pure stupidity.

I little past half way, it get's cute. Kelly Martin shines at times. "Corndog!" And the chemistry develops. There's still some little silly things. Silly isn't the same as stupid.

I hate to sound mean, but the lead actress was poorly cast. She looked more like the two male lead's frumpy older sister or perhaps aunt. She wasn't charming or likeable at all. This started off the movie being totally unrealistic and never-gonna-happen situation, and the lead actor's insistence on being with her was laughable.

Kellie Martin goes to Vegas for her bachelorette party. She gets drunk and married to Ethan Erickson, movie star. Before they can get the marriage annulled, the tabloids and Erickson's agent begin to take her life apart.

It's a fairly typical Hallmark TV movie, improved a bit by good performances. Ms. Martin's role is the usual serious business woman and Mr. Erickson the typical good-natured drifter who allows his agent to push him around long enough to keep the plot going. However, they are both willing to step up the performances a bit to make them amusing.

I do have one complaint: whoever did the score for this movie did it in a perky mood, so anxious to call attention to the fact that, yes, this is funny, that it intrudes.

It's a Saturday morning and I came across this flick on the Pixl channel as a sneak peak and decided to watch while cleaning. I found myself getting sucked in and continuously going back to the synopsis to clarify. You see, this movie about Jordan (Jordy) and her relationship to Peter and Matt. Peter is her fiancée whom she is set to marry and Matt is the big time celebrity who she actually did marry after her Vegas bachelorette party. The great thing about this plot is that it did go against the grain a little, but ultimately it left you feeling like you been duped. Sure, Matt Damon did it, but his wife is actually pretty. Kellie Martin's acting is good enough, but looks need to be considered when going up against Ethan Erickson. She ends up looking like Matt Swifts long lost, much older sister. If you want a movie to work, the relationship needs to be believable. We are supposed to be rooting for Matt and Jordan, but ultimately, I just wanted them to reveal their true ages.
