Un mariage de convenance

This movie is just that ... a movie. If you're one of those people who watches movies in disbelief, this is not the choice pick for you. Is "This could never happen" your motto? Then don't check this one out. It's a good movie, that's for sure. But it's unrealistic. It's a good, old-fashioned, made-for-TV movie.

i had to watch this twice ...as i was engulf by the story and how they were initially hinged each other and of course.. the lead actors carried their roles effectively but the most important pointer is the chemistry between the lead actors.. it made me feel i had butterflies in my stomach.. i love watching them interact and not to forget the revelation handsome boy who was the culprit to all the innuendos in the movies..plotting not against but FOR his guardians.. i mean parents sort of... Just cant stop liking this movie..a bit cheesy but ultimately wonderfully done... all the scenes will capture your liking.. til the end... 5 thumbs up for fun , romantic, all family made movie for this one...

While most of us like to purport to enjoy grandiose productions, costing 9 figures, and delivering deep messages - this simple movie, with two engaging adult leads, and one of the few juvenile performances which is not annoying, but equally engaging, is an outstanding piece of entertainment. Brolin and Alexander are handsome and likable, and one can enjoy not only viewing them, but also an old-fashioned "happy ending." It doesn't matter you can see it coming from a mile away, you enjoy it no less. This is a movie which you will look forward to seeing a second time. The only unfortunate aspect, is that while you'd enjoy seeing this couple in a sequel, it isn't probable, since these characters would likely have no problems to resolve, as necessary for dramatic purposes to warrant a sequel (and one would not like to see the happy resolution of this original compromised).

Even though the premise about the forced marriage is totally unlikely, I liked this feel good movie. James Brolin is a bit old looking for Jane Seymour. A woman gives up her career to look after the son of her sister who died in child birth. Later on for for various reasons they contact the birth father. He turns out to be a wealthy man. When they can't agree about custody they marry for the sake of the boy and live together, eventually the inevitable happens. It's quite watchable and Jane is always engaging.

I really enjoyed the story line of Marriage of Convenience. The title is quite applicable and though marriages of convenience are less common in our time this movie showed that being "in love" is not necessary to start a good marriage. The actors were excellent in their roles exhibiting individual talent.
