L'inquiétant fiancé de ma fille

Movie plot was decent as far as Lifetime Movies go. However, the amateur acting destroys the high points of the movie. I apologize ahead of time because I hate being a critical, negative person toward another. However, if I'm giving an honest review, the actress that plays "Lexi" is absolutely terrible and "Cameron" is a very close second. Lexi completely overacts to the point of finding myself literally laughing out loud a few times on her scenes. Cameron is on the opposite end of the spectrum and underacts. She takes a little time to respond like she is having her lines fed to her, and it doesn't come across like normal conversation. Lifetime has been around a very long time so I do not understand why they are still unable to mend the repetitive flaws. How many times do these movies end with the character getting hit over the head 3-4 times and left to come back later with a gun or knife? But not to worry, the other character will show up at the nick of time to save the day as the villain is divulging their plan before killing the intended character off. Find some new storylines already.

A deranged couple try to kill a young woman who has just come into her inheritance by having the man marry her and then kill her on their honeymoon.

Although the film held my interest, it was predictable and dumb at times and had some bad performances.

Beautiful businesswoman is shocked when her daughter returns from a vacation in Mexico engaged to a mysterious handsome young man. The mother suspects that the soon-to-be-groom is a fraud who is after money of her daughter...And actually it is the truth. Morover the fiance has a secret psycho girlfriend and together they're planning to kill the poor daughter right after the honeymoon...

FIANCE KILLER is a typical Lifetime movie, with a simple and predictable plot-line (the twist is so obvious it's not really a twist), and very tv-ish production values.The director does a passable job with the budget he has. The camera work is very basic with wash-out colors and almost no movement. The background music is next to zero. The young actors who play the (not so)evil soon-to-be-husband, the naive soon-to-be-bride and the evil crazy girlfriend are OK.

However there's one thing that makes this film better than other Lifetime movies.

It is the performance of Kari Wuhrer. Wuhrer was a class act for her entire career. Some people haven't been noticing her talent blinded by her beauty (she was one of the hottest girls on the screen in the late nineties).

Nowadays she still is a very sexy woman (she wears some very provocative dresses throughout the movie, twp thumbs up) and still has a BIG talent. Wuhrer's tremendous gifts, her enormous range, her vocal and physical craft, her peerless skills at conveying complexity, show in the role of the mother driven by the endless love to her YA daughter.

It's a pity that Wuhrer so rarely appears on the screen these days (only three big roles in the last five years).

Anyway the amount of thought and effort that Wuhrer puts into her performance is something that makes this film special. See it when you have a chance!

I want to give more credit to the actors for trying to pull off the plot line to this movie. Most of it is so hard to believe, especially the series of events of the last 8 minutes of the movie. Many have criticized the low budget and I must concur. If LMN wants to be taken serious, they need to pay more for scripts, that aren't written over night.

Clearly these films have a budget no bigger than the cost of a McDonalds meal, but can we have actors/actresses that have more experience than drama school ? because its only the electronic background music that provides any suspense at all.

Also who on earth was responsible for costumes on this film ? The actress Kari Wuhrer wore outfits more suitable for 'ladies of the night' !!!! than a professional business woman. She'd be laughed out of any marketing presentation in real life.
