J'ai épousé une star

I hate to sound mean, but the lead actress was poorly cast. She looked more like the two male lead's frumpy older sister or perhaps aunt. She wasn't charming or likeable at all. This started off the movie being totally unrealistic and never-gonna-happen situation, and the lead actor's insistence on being with her was laughable.

It's a Saturday morning and I came across this flick on the Pixl channel as a sneak peak and decided to watch while cleaning. I found myself getting sucked in and continuously going back to the synopsis to clarify. You see, this movie about Jordan (Jordy) and her relationship to Peter and Matt. Peter is her fiancée whom she is set to marry and Matt is the big time celebrity who she actually did marry after her Vegas bachelorette party. The great thing about this plot is that it did go against the grain a little, but ultimately it left you feeling like you been duped. Sure, Matt Damon did it, but his wife is actually pretty. Kellie Martin's acting is good enough, but looks need to be considered when going up against Ethan Erickson. She ends up looking like Matt Swifts long lost, much older sister. If you want a movie to work, the relationship needs to be believable. We are supposed to be rooting for Matt and Jordan, but ultimately, I just wanted them to reveal their true ages.

It's a Hallmark film, nobody expects high art, but this one is so by the numbers, it doesn't even try to clear the bar. Generic, unfunny and so so predictable.

Give this one a pass.

While I'm risking making myself sound incredibly superficial, most of the other reviews for this film have mentioned it, so I'm just going to put it out there -- It's weird when the lead actress of a romantic comedy looks somewhat older than the woman playing her mother (and who is 22 years her senior in real life).

I respected Kelly Martin until I watched this movie. How stupid can she be? She has so many options. And if she can't think of them, her fiancé must be a pretty dumb lawyer because he should be giving her options.

Yes it's a comedy. Hence all the stupidity. So get past that. Trouble is, I don't like comedy based on pure stupidity.

I little past half way, it get's cute. Kelly Martin shines at times. "Corndog!" And the chemistry develops. There's still some little silly things. Silly isn't the same as stupid.

Horrible pairing ruins this rom-com attempt. Right from the first reveal where we see the newly married couple I could never get past the thought they would never have gotten married. I'm sure Kellie Martin is an attractive lady, but she never looked better than haggard in this movie and considering she married a movie star that just doesn't play well. Funny, Erickson is two years older than Martin, but looks about 10 years younger in the movie. Tossing aside the lack of chemistry the movie was pretty flat with very few humorous or cute parts that didn't feel completely forced. The movie sticks to the formula so it's pretty obvious how everything will turn out and I guess that appeals to people, but this isn't a very clever or entertaining ride.
