J'ai épousé une star

It's a Saturday morning and I came across this flick on the Pixl channel as a sneak peak and decided to watch while cleaning. I found myself getting sucked in and continuously going back to the synopsis to clarify. You see, this movie about Jordan (Jordy) and her relationship to Peter and Matt. Peter is her fiancée whom she is set to marry and Matt is the big time celebrity who she actually did marry after her Vegas bachelorette party. The great thing about this plot is that it did go against the grain a little, but ultimately it left you feeling like you been duped. Sure, Matt Damon did it, but his wife is actually pretty. Kellie Martin's acting is good enough, but looks need to be considered when going up against Ethan Erickson. She ends up looking like Matt Swifts long lost, much older sister. If you want a movie to work, the relationship needs to be believable. We are supposed to be rooting for Matt and Jordan, but ultimately, I just wanted them to reveal their true ages.

I hate to sound mean, but the lead actress was poorly cast. She looked more like the two male lead's frumpy older sister or perhaps aunt. She wasn't charming or likeable at all. This started off the movie being totally unrealistic and never-gonna-happen situation, and the lead actor's insistence on being with her was laughable.

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.

It's a Hallmark film, nobody expects high art, but this one is so by the numbers, it doesn't even try to clear the bar. Generic, unfunny and so so predictable.

Give this one a pass.

While I'm risking making myself sound incredibly superficial, most of the other reviews for this film have mentioned it, so I'm just going to put it out there -- It's weird when the lead actress of a romantic comedy looks somewhat older than the woman playing her mother (and who is 22 years her senior in real life).

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.
