The Convenient Groom

Let me preface this review by saying I am a "mere male" and should probably not be making reviews of any movie appealing on the Hallmark Channel.

But, speaking as a male, this was a really cool little movie. Something that a Lady can share with her boyfriend/Husband/Significant Other and not bore them to death.

Speaking as a person from Washington State. This is yet one more Canadian Movie which pretends to be set in Washington State. There is absolutely nothing wrong with British Columbia, but is is VERY ANNOYING when all of the films produced there have to pretend to be set in Washington State.

I wasn't a huge fan of the main character or her blog. She was very critical. Although her character got better at the end, really, I still didn't like her that much. I did enjoy the romance, though. It got cute at the end!

Why does Vanessa constantly play with her hair? Too many contradictions. Mature professional woman dressed like she just graduated college. Bad lighting through the whole movie. I like the story though.

I have watched Hallmark movies for years. I cannot recall ever being this disappointed. Though I liked the story concept, this was extremely slow and boring from the start. The biggest reason, possibly the only reason I watched the entire movie is that I like the leading actors.

I've enjoyed watching both Vanessa Marcil and David Sutcliffe in a number of films over the past few years. Because of this, I was surprised at how bad the acting seemed to be. Then, I realized that the directing was where the problem must be. I believe the script must be sub-par as well.

At least some of the makeup in the film left a lot to be desired. On more than a few of the shots, Vanessa's makeup looked as if it was "caked up" on her face. The only reason I mention makeup is it seemed to be sloppily done and made her look older than she is.

The biggest reason for rating this as high as 5/10 is that I liked the concept.

I agree with all the comments made about the lead actress - she was clearly miscast, and everything has been said about her sad performance.

David Sutcliffe however, WHY hasn't he been picked up by the major studios instead of acting in low budget movies ? He's a good actor and VERY easy on the eye - but clearly hasn't had the breaks that Brad Pitt did, and that's such a shame.

The 5 stars I've given, four are for him, and one for the storyline which was typical Hallmark.
