El novio oportuno

I recorded this movie because I've been on a kick lately where I feel I have to watch every single movie aired on the Hallmark channel. It's a sickness and I can't snap out of it. I had it on my DVR for weeks because I wasn't expecting much out of it, based on the IMDb ratings. For the most part, I tend to agree with them. I've always loved Vanessa Marcil ever since I saw her in The Nanny Express, my first Hallmark movie. It was also the first time I've ever seen her and I always thought she was so beautiful. I have to say, I love The Convenient Groom in spite of her. Her lack of facial expressions and monotone voice almost had me tuning out before the film really took off. David Sutcliffe definitely made this movie worth watching, and he needs to star in a whole lot more.

I like the lead actress and was looking forward to this film but she played a very dislikeable character. As well, the grooms mother was just plain rude, the original fiance was a dork and the only real lovable characters were the grooms sister and the deadpan wedding planner was hilarious.

I agree with all the comments made about the lead actress - she was clearly miscast, and everything has been said about her sad performance.

David Sutcliffe however, WHY hasn't he been picked up by the major studios instead of acting in low budget movies ? He's a good actor and VERY easy on the eye - but clearly hasn't had the breaks that Brad Pitt did, and that's such a shame.

The 5 stars I've given, four are for him, and one for the storyline which was typical Hallmark.

I've seen this lead actress in other movies and realize in this movie she's just at playing the part of a women who is dysfunctional. She is a good actress. What I am saying is I didn't like her character, so I think that's why I didn't like the movie that much. I saw this a year ago and gave this movie a 6, now I am writing a review and raised it to a 7. For me a 6 is worth watching and a 7 is above average. I love a movie where a character learns lessons and this story is definitely that and a feel good movie.

Let me preface this review by saying I am a "mere male" and should probably not be making reviews of any movie appealing on the Hallmark Channel.

But, speaking as a male, this was a really cool little movie. Something that a Lady can share with her boyfriend/Husband/Significant Other and not bore them to death.

Speaking as a person from Washington State. This is yet one more Canadian Movie which pretends to be set in Washington State. There is absolutely nothing wrong with British Columbia, but is is VERY ANNOYING when all of the films produced there have to pretend to be set in Washington State.
