Undercover Bridesmaid

Undercover Bridesmaid sees Brooke Burns as a once jilted security agent going undercover as a bridesmaid in order to protect a bride to be as she has received threatening letters and her father is sparing no expense to keep her safe.

The agent rather stiff about the girly pre- marital rituals gets into the wedding spirit when the groomsman turns up as her attraction to him lightens her up.

This is a typical Hallmark production aimed squarely at ladies with shades of Miss Congeniality but with a lower budget and less laughs. Brooke looks too old to be hitting it with the groomsman and the romance subplot comes across as awkward. However the mystery is diverting enough with enough red herrings to keep you mild entertained.

Light, light, light. I was amazed the director was actually not a woman. The idea behind the script was not bad at all, but the movie didn't make it much further than a chick flick.

The acting and filming and music are comparable to the ones used in TV- shows like sex and the city, the characters are living clichés and the plot is predictable.

Nonetheless, i had to laugh a couple of times, whether it was intentionally funny or not.

This is a feel-good movie for the ones amongst us who do not want to think to much while watching it.

Me and the whole family loved UNDERCOVER BRIDESMAID, yes it is fairly predictable but very cute. I will recommend it. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 3/2/2021

Some silly situations lead to some laughs, but not rolling on the floor.

The acting is not good. I've never liked Brooke Burns' acting and this movie is no different. She doesn't come off as natural. In this movie she plays a reserved woman and for that she doesn't need to act. Still she is an attractive woman who catches your attention. There were a few actors who overplayed a little even for comedy. Nicole Pagg, as Daisy,i had some good moments but mixed overall. Justin Baldoni, as Jake, was OK.

As to the mystery, the clues were there. I missed them. Right before the climax, Tanya replays them in her head which is nice for the viewer.

I know what they were aiming for, but they went off formula and created an awkward mess. Doesn't come off as particularly cute, the pairing of Brooke and a guy who looks much younger was an awful decision as they had zero chemistry. Although Brooke is only 6 years older than the actor in real life she looks more like 10-12 years older due to the actor looking really young.

The attempt to add some action in a Hallmark production was a disaster as the scene with Brooke running in high heels looked ridiculous and the effects were college quality. Looks like Hallmark got out of their depth and it showed.

Paggi was the breath of fresh air as the charming bride, but all in all this fails as a rom com and whatever else they were aiming for.
