Lune de miel et Cœur brisé

One of the worst movies I have watched recently. Lead actress was annoying and the former fiance was worse. The ending was awful. The only good thing about this movie was the sister and her new man.

How this movie ever made it to TV is beyond me. The lead was the most annoying person ever and she never improved! Wanting the ex to apologise, not listening To his reason for calling of the wedding, but then why did she not understand why he called off the wedding. She's an absolute nutcase!

I know, I know. These sort of movies have a standard story-line. We meet girl and the boy, something goes wrong, blah-blah-blah, happy ending.

And 95% of the time I can like these movies, because they are rather mindless and just what I want to watch after a busy day.

This one however... Barely 5 minutes into the movie and I want to punch the female lead in the face! She's SOOOO annoying!

7 minutes in and I want the boy to RUN for his life and never look back. He does run, at first, but then the idiot goes back to her because he's some masochist or something. Oh, excuse me, I mean because he's so in love with her. (Why? Why? Why?)

She's so incredibly selfish, so self-absorbed that I sincerely cannot understand why he went so out of his way to 'win her back'. She cannot for a second try to see his side, she doesn't WANT to either and her attitude when she finds out what freaked him out is beyond stupid.

It has the usual blah-blah-blah. The ending is barely surprising. I liked the 2 male leads, I liked the sister and her story-line, but the main character... It's girls like her that make you cheer for the serial-killer/monster in certain movies.

Romantic TV movies don't need to be pretentious or deep, but they do have to amuse you and make you feel better at the end. This one doesn't do either.

The lead actress is plain awful. Her character (Ava) is annoying from the very first minute. Not quirky, not relatable, just annoying. Self-obsessed, judgemental, dominant, childish, superficial, neurotic.

The supporting characters aren't much better. Really no idea why the two guys (Brett and Kyle) are fighting over her except for stupid masculine pride or testosterone maybe. Run, boys, run!

Examples of the very poor writing: she falls asleep on a airbed in the swimmingpool. She falls over and doesn't seem to wake up or try to get out of the pool. Not believable at all. Both male leads are trying to build the highest pile of sand in a contest and the winner gets to take her out. Really? And due to a misunderstanding Ava and Brett broke up when they were in high school, but apparently he didn't bother to clear that up when they got back together and got engaged.

It's filled with cliches. Usually that's quite acceptable - there are only so many ways to tell a love story - but somehow that irritated me in this movie.

Not worth your time, unless you want to get annoyed.

My husband and I started watching this movie, but the female lead was so annoying that we had to turn it off. She was self absorbed and terrible. Usually there is a redeeming quality somewhere that you can see that makes you want to watch and see if she comes to some realization of how she needs to change, but we couldn't see any positive in her at all if I can't root for the main character, I can't enjoy the show.
