Un fiancé qui tombe à pic

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.

Dr. Kate Lawrence is a celebrity relationship counselor who's fiancé dumps her seconds before her big very live public announcement of the engagement. A high school classmate and local woodworker, Lucas Wright, overhears and steps in as pretend fiancé. Lucas has had a secret crush on Kate for years and he couldn't stand by while she looked so sad and could be loosing the career that she loves.

Lucas may not be perfect...like Kate's dating advice thinks he should be, but he might be the perfect guy for her. Will she figure it out in time?

I absolutely love Vanessa Marcil...I think she is gorgeous and a lovely person. I also like David Sutcliff, of Gilmore Girls fame. Seeing the two of them together did my heart good.

Loved the droll wedding coordinator!

I really appreciated the inside joking humor of this romantic comedy. There was a painful edge to it...but that made the sweet parts even sweeter.

Faux-ance....her fake mother-in-law-to-be is fantastic.

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 have watched Hallmark movies for years. I cannot recall ever being this disappointed. Though I liked the story concept, this was extremely slow and boring from the start. The biggest reason, possibly the only reason I watched the entire movie is that I like the leading actors.

I've enjoyed watching both Vanessa Marcil and David Sutcliffe in a number of films over the past few years. Because of this, I was surprised at how bad the acting seemed to be. Then, I realized that the directing was where the problem must be. I believe the script must be sub-par as well.

At least some of the makeup in the film left a lot to be desired. On more than a few of the shots, Vanessa's makeup looked as if it was "caked up" on her face. The only reason I mention makeup is it seemed to be sloppily done and made her look older than she is.

The biggest reason for rating this as high as 5/10 is that I liked the concept.

I wasn't a huge fan of the main character or her blog. She was very critical. Although her character got better at the end, really, I still didn't like her that much. I did enjoy the romance, though. It got cute at the end!
