Murder & Matrimony

Angie, a wedding planner is estranged from her brother, Michael, and their parents die in a car wreck, Enter Olivia, Michael's fiancee, who needs a wedding planner and Michael says why not Angie? Olivia is NOT a happy camper when he suggests it. What will she do? You will have to tune in to find out and how this ends. Definitely recommend!

*** Saw it on LMN as "For Love Or Murder" ***

Yet another film set in the "Lifetime Universe" where all normal conventions just don't apply, such as:

1. An estranged sibling planning YOUR wedding?

2. Doors being left open so people can conveniently walk in and snoop around?

3. Getting life insurance payouts on someone you killed?

This movie seems to be a cautionary tale for all wedding planners and bridal shop owners.

In spite of being the almost hilarious usual Lifetime movie, it held my interest in spite of the weird plot points.

THE FIGHT AT THE END, AND THE RESULTING PLOT TWIST ARE OVER THE TOP!

7/10.

I love a good murder mystery. Unfortunately, this isn't one. It's not dreadful, but it's very predictable.

The majority of the characters are unlikeable. The brother's fiancée and her pals are all stereotypically vapid, money-hungry mean girls. They're downright rude to the main character, whom they've only just met. This is all contrived to colour your view of the main suspect, but it is too obvious. I love a red herring as much as the next murder mystery fan, but the screenwriters overdid it here.

I worked out who the killer was early on, but I stuck with it to see how our heroine pieced it all together.

The redeeming feature for me was the twist at the end, which I didn't see coming. For that alone I gave this film 6/10.

Its hard to tell if this movie was overacted badly or underacted badly. Thats not to say the film was atleast somewhat enjoyable to watch but it has an ending that is a little to predictable. Angie is a wedding planner, her brother michael comes back into her life after their parents are killed in a accident but we know something fishy is going on, he also has a new.fiance called olivia who was just bad. Christine vaganos was the better actrees,mazurak had weird eyes that always seemed to pop out and do get me started on the three bidesmaides they were also bad, dani sounded like dami hawkes and she was pretty attracitve but given a bad character. If the writting was better this film might have gotton higher. Not much mystery to guess and pretty bad acting as a whole.

This acting in the movie was SO painfully bad I could hardly stand it! The women in this movie are annoying bubbleheads, the type of girls I would have totally avoided in High School, like the annoying Cheerleader types all looks and no brains. ANNOYING.

And the ending was SO totally obvious! I knew there was something fishy about her Brother from the very beginning, him showing up like that after their Parents conveniently DIED!? Which was NO accident, he cut their breaks, and was the one killing everyone, you can tell from the beginning there's something shady about him. After all, you can never trust rich people!
