Deadly Matrimony

ANOTHER stupid movie, where the women seems they are acting so blonde and stupid. When will the director make their own decision? I'd like to see a movie, where women act like they are acting in the real danger.

FIRST COMES MARRIAGE THEN A STALKER Civil attorney Sara Ross (Katherine Bailess) marries Leo Friedman (Damon Dayoub) to whom she was introduced to by her best friend Parker Wyndham (Ali Corbin). Shortly after the marriage, Sara is stalked by an unknown person. It's not long before the person phones Sara to tell her that Leo isn't who he seems. Feeling that Sara didn't believe her she shows up at Sarah's house. The woman is Melinda Wells (Tiffany Hines), Leo's wife. But when she married him he went by another name. After they were married he drained her bank account forcing her to move out of her nice home and back to her roots.

At first, Sara didn't believe Melinda until she, Melinda, shows Sara a picture of Leo. Melinda tells Sara that she has hired a private investigator to track Leo down but she can't afford him. Melinda gives Sara an address and time to meet Melinda if Sara is interested in joining Melinda in uncovering Leo's true identity.

DISCOVERY THEN REVENGE Sara discovers Leo's car at another woman's house when he's supposedly out of town. When she knew he was gone she visits the woman whose name is Cindy Steele, a model for an energy drink company. Sara tells Cindy everything, even about Melinda, Leo's first wife.

The three women with the help of the P.I. band together to find Leo. It's not before the P.I. tells and shows the women the body of his last wife he stabbed on their wedding night while she was still in her wedding dress. The women a!so learn of the various names Leo has used as well as the number of other women he has married.

This was another Lifetime Movie Network movie with a great storyline but bad execution. My main issue was the music throughout the entire movie. Not all movies need dramatic music to go along with the scene. This movie would have fared better without music being played during each scene. Whomever the engineer was on this movie needs another job for there were times the music was louder than the dialogue.

In addition, there were times when things didn't make sense. For instance, Sara would set the alarm at night, yet when the alarm went off she wouldn't hear it. I will admit the alarm sounded more like an alarm on a watch than an actual house alarm, which is another thing that didn't make sense.

The ending was off, as well. It seemed rushed to me. This is one of those movies, in the right hands, could have been really good. The right hands being better writers. As mentioned, this movie had a great premise, just executed badly and that's what they should have done to this movie, executed it!

Horrible acting, horrible plot, horrible execution, so pathetic it was not even laughable. I will never get that time back. Ugh. The part with the two ex wives dressing up in black, two exact outfits with two black veils, I almost threw up. The fight scenes were so fake.

Hang your heads in shame!

Gosh I wish I could give it more than 1 star but it deserved zero stars.

Do not waste my time If I were an actor in this, I would have bowed out right way to save face.

WARNING, WARNING, WILL ROBINSON:

The only reason I'm reviewing this is to warn others who might consider watching it. On the flip side I wanted to see another script from Jake Helgren and more from the actor Kate Bailess having watched Dashing in December ad infinitum (can't get enough of her dance with Juan Pablo Di Pace--wish that sequence was longer--they were brilliant together).

But I digress: back to the mess at hand: So, I realize that the path to stardom in Hollerwood is to just get your name out there and do things and more things--even if them things is baaaaaad. Even Lucille Ball had to kiss a lot of frogs as she clawed her way to the top.

In the Cast and Crew category, Ms. Bailess' topped the list. Going down the list of names and without exception all are in the "One Off" category. But not wanting to say anything negative about them, I still wish them well. Maybe they'll find their niche in dinner theaters across the land.

And the other thing: the studio that produced this ghastly "who-didn't-done-it" should be levied a stiff fine from the EPA for air pollution. And my Fast Forward and Mute keys? Let's just put it this way: I had to put new batteries in my remote after panning through this ghastly spectacle. If this one crashes and burns, don't bother going for the fire extinguisher.

Anyone who watched this movie...can you please tell me what song is playing during the wedding reception at the beginning of the movie...some of the lyrics go "I can't make, can't make you love me & I tried, its left me lonely" or something??? I have been trying to search that song since I saw the movie in June with NO luck 😓 SoundHound won't even pick up the song...someone must know! Please please please & thank you!!
