Ora puoi uccidere la sposa

A terror-stricken bride is bound and gagged. Apparently, she is beaten to death with a hammer. After the credits roll, the mood turns merry. We see still-attractive blonde schoolteacher Ashley Newbrough (as Nicole) celebrate her 30th birthday. Whispers about being "pretty much dried up" don't faze Ms. Newbrough. She is waiting for marriage before having a baby. The surprise birthday party becomes even more of a celebration when handsome, muscular and wealthy Rocky Myers (as Mark) proposes to Newbrough. No fool, Newbrough accepts. But, this being a "Lifetime" TV movie, all does not go well. Sending trouble-making signals, Mr. Myers' zealous stepsister Tammin Sursok (as Audrey) immediately moves in with the happy couple...

This is strictly a formula movie. If Ms. Sursok doesn't send off warning signals, the title "You May Now Kill the Bride" is a dead giveaway. Director Kohl Glass, his cast and crew are competent, but they could just as well be working at a high-class restaurant in Salt Lake City. As you might expect, the best role is essayed by Sursok. She is quite engaging, as Mr. Glass allows the antagonist to go from playfully nefarious to over-the-top evil. Sursok's final scenes show good use of make-up in characterization. In the standard "best friend" role, Aubrey Reynolds (as Celine) does well. Writer Blaine Chiappetta gives the script a few snarky lines, especially in the birthday party and dress fitting scenes, but the violent opening scene is not fully explained.

**** You May Now Kill the Bride (6/4/2016) Kohl Glass ~ Tammin Sursok, Ashley Newbrough, Rocky Myers, Aubrey Reynolds

What's not crazy, is how predictable this is. And I don't just mean the title here that is quite the giveaway of what this movie is going to be about. What is crazy is one of the characters here ... and it becomes quite obvious early on. And while the characters at some point seem to get that, the next moment they seem to cut her a lot of slack.

Maybe wear a helmet while watching this ... just in case you feel the need to rip out your own hair ... I don't know is this a thing in English? Or is it just a German saying? Whatever the case, I'm certain you understand what I mean by that ...

01/27/2019 Lame, already cast in plastic, a hundred times over film. Girl obsesses over other girls boyfriend, willing to kill. Not worth any viewers time to even consider. Bon Appetit

What a load of crap! We have a clueless bride to be and an incestous sister in law??!! Gimme a break for Chrissake!!!!!!

I watch Lifetime movies for the ridiculous but suspenseful and often deadly plot lines and the faux pas. Some of my reviews consist ONLY of faux pas. 22 is the all-time high. But that only happens when they are so glaring and distracting as to offset interest in the storyline.

This flick, on the other hand, had ZERO faux pas. You may ask yourself, opieandy-1, how could that possibly be? Every other Lifetime Movie for Chicks (LMFC) title you've reviewed had many faux pas. The answer is simple: I don't know. Actually, I was engaged enough with the storyline that I didn't notice the handful of faux pas that were surely in this flick. And that tells you everything you need to know. If I didn't notice faux pas, this LMFC must have been pretty good. It gets one of the highest ratings possible for a LM. 6 stars.
