Featured review
Newlywed and Dead (TV movie 2016)
5 out of 10 stars Time to Read: 1:50 min
BEFORE WE WATCH OR RATE, LET'S UNDERSTAND MELODRAMAS: Melodramas are works with exaggerated, sensational events and characters. They are highly emotionally driven, focusing on exciting, over the top situations. Character development is NOT a feature of melodramas, instead, characters are given stereotypical roles, often the "good vs evil" type. (Thanks to -literaryterms net for the definition) This movie is a perfect melodrama, the characters are not so well defined, but their motives are. You're not supposed to take it seriously, you're supposed to take into consideration the type of art form your watching, and understand it's pure silly entertainment. It's NOT for Emmy consideration, so pop some corn, and enjoy.
BASIC PLOT: Kristin Ward (Shenae Grimes-Beech) thinks she has finally met the man of her dreams, it just so happens to be her boss, and she's only known him a short while, but she's sure Jay Morgan (Christopher Russell) is the one.
Her mother, Annie Ward (Samantha Ferris), is a deputy sheriff, and she doesn't trust Jay. He has a previous assault charge on his record, and there's something about him that's just too perfect.
She also doesn't trust the fued he's having with his aunt, Barbara Morgan (Venus Terzo), or his development plans for valley.
Can Annie convince Kristin there's something wrong with Jay, in time to save them, and maybe even the whole valley?
WHAT WORKS: *PERFECT MELODRAMATIC CHARACTERS Some of the acting is a bit wooden, but this is normal for melodramas. With this type of movie, realism is left at the door. There are good guys and bad guys, and the good guys win. Typical, made-for-tv melodrama.
*PERFECT MELODRAMATIC CASTING All of the actors and actresses look their parts - to the extreme. Example: Jay Morgan is too good looking, like Prince Charming, but is he? His henchmen has an angular face, making him look maniacal, the visual cues are over the top, as they should be in a melodrama.
*CHARACTER MOTIVATIONS ARE BELIEVABLE I never found myself kicked out of the story because a character was doing something that went against his story arc. Everybody is doing exactly what they should, at exactly the right time, and the result is an enjoyable time waster.
*THERE'S SOME NICE FILMMAKING There are some beautiful shots in this film. You could storyboard it using stills from the movie, and that means it's successful filmmaking.
WHAT DOESN'T WORK: *SOME JANKY LETTERING AND SIGNS Paradise mountain Lodge, welcome to paradise, and even the Sheriff's station, all look more than low budget - more like no budget, a color printer and a trip to Hobby Lobby.
*THE SETTING IS A FAIL "The Paradise Mountain Lodge" is obviously somebody's house. It looks like a nice ranch house, not a hotel.
TO RECOMMEND, OR NOT TO RECOMMEND, THAT IS THE QUESTION: *If you like, and understand the melodramatic art form, you'll like this. It's nothing special, but for a made-for-tv melodrama, there's very little too complain about. So if you need a couple of hours to turn your brain off, pop some corn, and enjoy.
CLOSING NOTES: *THIS IS A MADE-FOR-TV MOVIE, please keep that in mind before you watch/rate it. TV movies have a much lower budget, and so your expectations should be adjusted.
*I HAVE NO CONNECTION TO THE FILM, or production in ANY way. This review was NOT written in full, or in part, by a bot. I am just an honest viewer, who wishes for more straight forward reviews (less trolls and fanboys), and better entertainment. Hope I helped you out.
