I Married Who?

I enjoyed this movie... I remember Kellie Martin as a teenager on "Life Goes On" back in the late 80s -- nice to see she made a successful transition from child actress to adult actress. And despite what another review on this board says, she's actually younger than Ethan Erickson... and I think she looks great! The movie takes off right away with Jordan (Kellie Martin) and her friends heading to Vegas for her bachelorette party, and keeps your interest throughout the rest of the story. It was also nice to see Bess Armstrong (an actress I've always liked, but I've always been surprised at how little I see her) and Erin Gray (who I have liked since she was "Silver Spoons" in the 80s).

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'm not being mean when I review this film, but another reviewer talked of Kellie Martin's looks. I happen to fine her attractive enough, but she is a bit mature looking compared to the actor playing Matt Swift. The only reason I've taken the time to review this film is because romantic films such as this no matter how awful they are, I usually come to enjoy them. I watched "What Happens in Vegas" With Cameron Diaz and thought even though the film wasn't amazing it still held my interest and had me laughing. Unfortunely "I married Who" Couldn't sustain me at all! Everything about the film was just disgustingly sub-par, right down to the name. As if they couldn't come up with anything better then "I married who" AKA Always the Bride! Then the actors are not well chosen, I'm surprised that some of the performances were actually decent, but the plot was ridiculous, (which is usually fine with films like this, but to some extent.) Then the score, who ever created the score should be fired. I could hardly hear what the actors were saying! The music hardly fit the emotion of the film. Some parts were actually hard to watch. Over all I was very disappointed, because as I said before the style of the film is sort of a guilty pleasure for me,and even with an awful script they could of still made it enjoyable but the casting and production style were awful. What more can you ask from a Hallmark film though?

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.

I wanted to like this movie because I like Kellie Martin but it was so cheesy! I could not watch it for very long because of the stupid background music, really! It was just really predictable and lame. A waste of time in my opinion.
