Murder & Matrimony

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.

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.

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!

It's mind boggling how something so pathetically bad could be made. A grade school drama club could probably make something better than whatever this dumpster fire is.

The acting is absolutely horrendous.

It's like they went out of their way to not only cast people with zero acting skills, but they intentionally sought out the worst of the worst. The entire cast looks like a bad lip sync.

Everyone involved in making this should be ashamed and embarrassed.

Whomever wrote this word vomit of a script has no idea how real human beings talk. It's like they have never observed a normal conversation.
