Til Death Do Us Part

As I sat down to watch "Til Death Do Us Part", I had not heard about the movie. The movie was listed as a horror comedy, and that was essentially what made me sit down to watch it. Well, that and the fact that it was a movie that I hadn't already seen.

This movie was a swing and a miss. I got no enjoyment or entertainment out of the storyline, and it was a really difficult movie to sit through. In fact, I managed to endure a staggering, and utterly boring, 50 minutes of the 109 minutes runtime, then I just gave up out of sheer and utter boredom. Writers Chad Law and Shane Dax Taylor really failed to compile something that caught my interest, much less entertained me.

The acting performances in the movie were fair enough, despite the fact that the script and storyline was a dumpsterfire and provided zero entertainment. Of the entire cast ensemble, then I was only familiar with Cam Gigandet and Orlando Jones.

"Til Death Do Us Part" is not a movie that I will recommend anyone to waste their time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this ordeal, in greater or smaller parts, so you don't have to. Nor is it a movie that I will ever return to attempt finish watching, because I simply don't care about the storyline or characters, nor did I find anything entertaining about the ordeal.

The best thing about the movie was the movie's cover/poster.

My rating of director Timothy Woodward Jr.'s 2023 movie lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

How do films like this get made? Who puts up the money? Or are they just vanity projects from spoiled rich kids ? I only ask because this must have looked rubbish on paper. I think I recognized one name on the cast list. The others were totally unknown. They should stay that way. Especially the leading lady. Dreadful beyond words. And the production values? Let's saturate all the colors and have a palate of primary hues. Everything about this movie is a mess and you should avoid it like the plague. It doesn't even fall into the "it's so bad, it's good" category. It's just plain bad. You have been warned.

A runaway bride has to fight off the groomsmen that come chasing after her.

The problem with this film is a lack of detail regarding the sub plot for bride and groom. We don't understand their relationship, the relationship they share with their "friends" or the relationship with their employer. You've watched nearly the entire film before things have started to come together well.

I will give the film credit for the stunt/action scenes, the poster art (even though it bugs me that the dress on the poster isn't the dress worn in the film (Don't ask me why it bothers me. It just does! OK.)) and the soundtrack. Some of the special effects were questionable and the supporting characters didn't bring much to the table. For me, I just couldn't get into caring about what was happening to the characters. They were bland, uninteresting and simply fodder for the kill scenes.

I had higher hopes coming into this so I'm a bit bummed out. I'm not sure that I'd suggest it to friends or even watch it again. If I had to choose between this and Ready or Not, I would choose Ready or Not over and over again.

Aw, did I had to skip their long boring talks between actions many times. Even their conversation were excuses to make this movie last a bit more longer. Their actings were not too bad. They just need a better director and screenwiters, in which I think they should be ban. I would say it is a C grade black comedy movie. I am sure these poor actors knew the movie would be poorly made but I guess they only need the money. If you like blood thirsty actions regardless poor scripts and direction, that would be for you. If you can fast skip their conversation, then you'll propbably won't get as bored as I was.

If you need some eye yoga, Til Death Do Us Part is the perfect choice: my eyes were in pain after watching this movie due to constant eye rolling. Additionally, I suspect that I lost a significant number of brain cells (note to self: be more selective about watching new movies, unless you want to become a brain-lobotomized zombie in a not so far away day). Not only does Til Death Do Us Part feed us a weak and uninspiring story, but the entire film is also rather tediously timed and poorly directed, the dialogues a terrible blabla. The production value also fails to elevate the movie to even average quality. If you're truly craving violence and action involving a bride (for whatever peculiar reason), I highly recommend watching Ready or Not or Kill Bill (again). Both films boast superior production, captivating storylines, and talented casts. Final words: a rather cheap and uninspired imitation.
