Her Deadly Groom

I may not be the best person to review Her Deadly Groom, as it is the only Lifetime movie I've ever seen. However, compared to the usual made-for-television fare on other networks, the movie holds its own. The cast was professional. I was surprised to see Eric Roberts in this film, but he underplayed his role competently. Kate Watson as Allison was stuck with a part that would be difficult for any actor. It is hard to believe that her character is a bright entrepreneur when she is so slow on the uptake about her murderous new boyfriend. Michael DeVorzon is convincingly creepy as Vincent Black. The always dependable Kelly Erin Decker makes the viewer wish Brenna could be his/her best friend, as well as Allison's.

Production values were good with a nice mix of interior and exterior scenes, all well lighted and photographed. The editing, however, seemed severe. When I described this film as "Fast paced," I wasn't necessarily being positive. There are no lulls in the plot; it is constantly moving. Unfortunately, it felt as if characterization and plot development were sacrificed to keep the action going.

So, if you get a chance to see Her Deadly Groom, you definitely won't be bored, but you might find the plot difficult to believe.

Really enjoyed a stellar ensemble performance in this movie. Kate Watson and Jacob Michael were particularly strong though all were well cast and played off each other well. Worth watching!

I really enjoyed this movie, which is a dark thriller. Consistently believable characters and good acting; the leading actress, Kate Watson, stands out in her honest, genuine portrayal of a recently divorced mother. This type of online dating fiasco happens frequently and the plot is based upon a true story, so it's completly believable. Bravo to cast and crew!

Actually, this is the usual fun movie LMN to watch as long as you don't take it too seriously. Also, Eric Roberts is in it and that's always a PLUS!

However, there were many thins that just didn't seem that believable - like:

1. Vincent's apparent charm over Allison as well as all the other women - that just doesn't happen that easily!

2. Allison's extreme naivete - you are at least 40+ and act like a 15 year old!

3. Allison's daughter and her boyfriend's involvement with checking out Allison's relationship with Vincent - in reality kids will care only minimally.

4. The characters taking baths wearing their underclothes?

5. A prolonged electric shock in a bathtub full of water not being fatal?

5. The biggest what? THE ENDING (I don't want to spoil it)

Just have a drink or two and enjoy it!

The movie was okay, but that's not what I'm writing about. I'm extremely disappointed that Eric Roberts wasn't listed as a cast member. Eric Roberts has acted in many many movies, many more movies, I'm sure, then the other actors in this movie. And yet he was not listed as a member of the cast. He played the part of the ex-husband and he should have been included. This was wrong.
