Dying to Marry Him

Generally, I love lifetime and LMN movies. However, it seems as of late the movies are considerably disappointing. I believe it's a combination of bad acting and lackluster storylines. This combined with the fact that nothing produced recently is unique. It seems to be the same psycho based genre that is getting very repetitious and old. It's the same theme played over and over again. This movie is so horrible it's almost comical. I've seen better acting in high school plays. I miss the days when they produced movies with well claimed actors and storylines that gripped you with terror as well as true life stories that had real substance. The storyline in this movie is a bit confusing especially surrounding the villainess. Combined this with the same old tale and boring actors who couldn't act their way out of a paper bag. If you happen upon this snooze fest, flipping the channel as fast as you can is the best advice I can offer.

I made it through 34 minutes. Although i read emails and texts also during that time. The acting was so horrible it hurt my ears. The fashions hurt my eyes. What was up with Jeff's hairstyle. All of this distracted me from the storyline.

Dying to Marry Him plays on the trope of the loving hero (Kehn) and the classical villain (Mackay) folded in with a complex and tragic past that connects them.

Nathan Kehn did a remarkable job leading this cast. Kehn, who physically resembles is a younger Chris Evans but with all charm and allure of James McAvoy, effortlessly made Jeff Dardenswick a likable character. Kehn's range is flawless as his character goes from easy-going fiance and professor to protector and eventually, determined hero.

Kehn's leading ladies Anna Marie Dobbins and Andrea Hickey, both play well off each other, which builds the love and hate relationship necessary for story building. That said, the writers missed opportunities for Macy Williams (Dobbins) and Dardenswick (Kehn) to have more meaningful scenes as a couple with impending nuptials. The writing oversight combined with Amy Mackay (Hickey) and Dardenswick's (Kehn) chemistry essentially makes you want to root for the villain.

Primarily, the trope plays out as expected, and the second half plays out the opposite of what you feel should happen, but it overall was worth watching at least once.

This movie would have been average at best, but the acting was so atrocious, especially that of the male lead, that it took it quickly to sub-par. Because of the bad acting, many of the scenes that were supposed to be serious were comical such as the exaggerated expressions of the villain, Amy, and the totally unimpressive ER doc. Thriller, no. Comedy, kind of. Worth your time, not really.

This would've been a better movie if the main guy getting married was portrayed to have a back bone! He lets the girl hang all over him, doesn't tell his finance' then basically goes upstairs with a stripper and only turns back when he knows it is the insane girl! Not cool dude............. spineless, cheating jerk. Being with a stripper is THE same as cheating with a non-stripper dude! Let Amy have him!!!! You can find better! Not a fan......
