Happily Never After

Good movie, if you like the LMN format which I do. Sound was mixed to make Faith muffled, maybe trying for sultry but I could not understand her. Thought at one point she had a foreign accent or speech defect. At the end she was clear. I'm gonna say a sound mixing problem. But I'm old and don't hear that well.

Such a fun movie with a lot of twists and turns. Wonderful performances from all of the actors, especially Alexis Allotta as Faith! She was as chilling as she is beautiful! Erinn Fredin was so amazing in her role as Laura as well. All around great film, really well produced and thought out. Watch this thriller, you won't regret it!

Happily Never After tells the story of a bride who " wins" a free wedding. Turns out the wedding planner has her own agenda. This film is virtually void of any suspense or tension. The acting is vanilla with no one remotely having any personality. It is also fairly predictable and completely unoriginal. I did sit till the end but at times considered turning the channel. The acting is bad and just add to the deplorable viewing. It just seems like everyone in this film is going through the motions without any intent. Even though this was a LMN film it was still very poor even by that standard. Do not bother with this drivel.

At the start of this movie it shows a girl burying a body. Then it goes into the movie. It's a good story with good actors but I was very confused at the end as I think our TV station Channel 7 in Australia cut off a chunk near the end which doesn't make sense of the end that is shown. One minute Faith shoots Pete in the shoulder. Then Faith gets Laura to write a note but Pete comes round and Laura manages to knock faith out with a candle. So then Laura rings for the ambulance. (Here's where there's a piece missing) the next thing it shows Laura and Pete driving to his friends property where they bury Faith's body and shows a blood stained wedding dress, which they bury with Faith. What happened between the ambulance, hospital, Pete getting his shoulder fixed, and the Doctor seeing to Faith? And when did they kill Faith???

This was another pretty decent LMN movie. The plot was very plausible. All cast performed well. The only thing that bothered me was Pete's voice which was very deep and moreover monotoneous. Otherwise the story was good. I thought. I thought Erinn Fredin was very good in the lead role, and Alexis Allotta did a pretty decent job as the antagonist. She did not over or under do her role.

All in all I enjoyed it, and recommend it. I do not usually give star ratings for LMN movies but on the odd occasion I do. This one gets an eight from me.

I thought the beginning and the ending of the movie was cleverly done. I won't spoil anything for those who have not watched it yet.
