J'ai épousé une star

I enjoyed this movie... I remember Kellie Martin as a teenager on "Life Goes On" back in the late 80s -- nice to see she made a successful transition from child actress to adult actress. And despite what another review on this board says, she's actually younger than Ethan Erickson... and I think she looks great! The movie takes off right away with Jordan (Kellie Martin) and her friends heading to Vegas for her bachelorette party, and keeps your interest throughout the rest of the story. It was also nice to see Bess Armstrong (an actress I've always liked, but I've always been surprised at how little I see her) and Erin Gray (who I have liked since she was "Silver Spoons" in the 80s).

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.

I wanted to like this movie because I like Kellie Martin but it was so cheesy! I could not watch it for very long because of the stupid background music, really! It was just really predictable and lame. A waste of time in my opinion.

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 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).
