To me, this movie is perfection.

Boring

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

A rating of 4.2 here on IMDb is a bit too harsh, it really isn't THAT bad! It's actually very watchable, it has a reasonably thrilling story and the acting by the main characters is pretty good, with Wes Bentley as some very creepy psychopath. My main criticism concerns the tension that somehow seemed to sag-in somewhere in the middle-section, when it got a bit too low on real action. I also had some doubts about the casting. Jaimie Alexander was convincing enough as the beautiful, guilt-ridden bride-to-be, but her fiancé (Cam Gigandet) didn't match her enough, he was só listless and respectable, on the brink of boring, it seemed like a very odd coupling. And Wes Bentley was given a way too extreme outward appearance, I just could not imagine this pristine goddess fall for such a guy, even as a one-night-stand. And then there were some other improbabilities. They had to hire a private investigator to find out the back-ground of Patrick; why not begin with checking the bar in New Orleans where he obviously was employed when they met? And why didn't Michael scream something like "Tara, call 9-1-1 now!!" when he was assaulted by Patrick in the hotel-garden after the wedding, she was within hearing-distance, we saw her hearing the noises of the struggle! Anyway, the final twist was a nice surprise (although one can wonder why this obviously very intelligent woman didn't take precautions!). Anyway, as far as I'm concerned it was entertaining enough.

Tara Bloom (Jamie Alexander) goes on her bachelorette party weekend in New Orleans. She is seduced by dark, mysterious bartender Patrick (Wes Bentley). She leaves after a night of passion back to her fiancé Michael (Cam Gigandet) in California. Patrick is obsessed and flies out to stalk her. Her friend Debra (Alexandra Breckenridge) tries to help.This is supposed to be a thriller. The problem is the horrible boring production. There is no tension to speak of. The filming is done as blandly as possible. It is dull and slow. There are no surprises. There is nothing compelling. It should be dark but it's more cheese than noir. The acting is functional. Cam is more comfortable playing a douche. His face-off with Wes becomes a douche-off. Tara is not that great to root for either. This is not really a threatrical thriller.

The story line and the idea of this movie is very common, but great nevertheless. Although a few actresses didn't perform really good, but Wes Bentley was great. Typical thriller scent is exuded really well along this movie. Although there's a major setback with the audio. The thing that this movie's lacking is good background music. I felt that every time thrilling scenes came, there's not enough supporting music to heighten the tension. Thus damaging the movie quite bad. Usually movies like this requires theatrical orchestra for better result. I don't know was it because of budget problems or was it poor decision making, but I think background music is the key ingredient that is missing from this flick. Other than that, this movie is pretty good to watch. I recommend this one to anyone with no stomach for thriller movies. This one can give you a good exercise before you deal with the really scary ones.

A woman has a final fling prior to her marriage. But the man with whom she has spent the night turns out to be the lover out of hell. "Broken Vows" tells the story of a stalker who turns what appears to be a perfect wedding into a nightmare.The film has all of the elements of a formula film on the Lifetime cable network. Jaime Alexender is perfectly cast as Tara, the protagonist who recognizes that she has made a "mistake" on the morning after sleeping with a New Orleans bartender, Patrick Flynn. Wes Bentley is outstanding as the psycho who begins stalking Tara, her fiancé Michael, and her family members. Cam Gigandet is solid as the trusting fiancé radiating a hangdog look deriving from the guilt of having already broken his own vow with a brief, adulterous liaison.There is a build-up to the wedding day of Tara and Michael with extremely revealing moments when both Tara and Michael are aware of the strange behavior of Patrick, yet refuse to communicate with each other. In withholding what they know, Patrick is provided with the opportunity to catch them off-guard and to disrupt their lives beyond belief.The film was successful in developing what could have been stereotypes into fairly well developed characters. The well-intentioned friend Deb, the ineffective private eye (Clay), and the naive sister (Annie) were all well-conceived and well-performed roles.The directing was well above the standards of an average Grade "B" film with interesting camera angles and overhead shots. The costume design was only limited in repeating much too often the black dress worn by Tara. There could have been a greater variety of costuming, as it was clear that Tara and her family were affluent member of the Eastern intelligentsia.Still, as a low-budget, direct-to-viewer film product, "Broken Vows" is an extremely entertaining and not-to-be-missed film bargain from your local Redbox machine!!!
