Dying to Marry Him

Nathan Kehn reminded me of Harrison Ford as Professor Jones (in the love you eyelid clip) when the wedding planner entered the classroom. Moreover he resembles a young Robert Redford in looks and acting style. His heroic entrance in a tux near the movie's end had a sophisticated dance flare. I replayed that part several times to watch how he did this footwork with ease and style. I thought he would be excellent as James Bond. Then his perfect run up the steps looked like he was flying. It made me think of how great he would be as the next Batman or Captain America. Nathan Kehn makes this movie a must see for anyone who likes to watch undiscovered talent. Furthermore Nathan's acting talent is easily seen on his Instagram page.

This movie would have been average at best, but the acting was so atrocious, especially that of the male lead, that it took it quickly to sub-par. Because of the bad acting, many of the scenes that were supposed to be serious were comical such as the exaggerated expressions of the villain, Amy, and the totally unimpressive ER doc. Thriller, no. Comedy, kind of. Worth your time, not really.

I made it through 34 minutes. Although i read emails and texts also during that time. The acting was so horrible it hurt my ears. The fashions hurt my eyes. What was up with Jeff's hairstyle. All of this distracted me from the storyline.

This film placed high on the " cheesiest " movie list. Lifetime puts out some hard to watch movies but this one was absolutely laughable. Save yourself some time and pass on this one.

Dying to Marry Him plays on the trope of the loving hero (Kehn) and the classical villain (Mackay) folded in with a complex and tragic past that connects them.

Nathan Kehn did a remarkable job leading this cast. Kehn, who physically resembles is a younger Chris Evans but with all charm and allure of James McAvoy, effortlessly made Jeff Dardenswick a likable character. Kehn's range is flawless as his character goes from easy-going fiance and professor to protector and eventually, determined hero.

Kehn's leading ladies Anna Marie Dobbins and Andrea Hickey, both play well off each other, which builds the love and hate relationship necessary for story building. That said, the writers missed opportunities for Macy Williams (Dobbins) and Dardenswick (Kehn) to have more meaningful scenes as a couple with impending nuptials. The writing oversight combined with Amy Mackay (Hickey) and Dardenswick's (Kehn) chemistry essentially makes you want to root for the villain.

Primarily, the trope plays out as expected, and the second half plays out the opposite of what you feel should happen, but it overall was worth watching at least once.
