... View MoreJessica Lowndes, a successful designer, is called in by her boss, Louise Pitre, for an emergency assignment. A bridal magazine needs reshoots for their Christmas wedding campaign, and the famous photographer Christopher Russell is flying in to assist them. The only problem is Jessica and Chris were college sweethearts until he took an internship in Paris and the distance broke them up. Reunited at Christmas, while planning a bridal photo shoot, means anything can happen. . .There are two main problems with this Hallmark Christmas flick: Jessica Lowndes gives a very low energy performance, and the story isn't captivating enough. The alternative love interests for both leads aren't really written to have any major flaws, so besides their previous history, there's no real reason for the leads to be pushed towards each other. If you're like me and will watch anything remotely related to the holiday, you can absolutely watch Merry Matrimony. It won't hurt you, besides giving you a cavity, but it probably won't be one of your favorites you watch every year. You'll need a more captivating lead, like Candace Cameron Bure or Lacey Chabert, for that.
... View MoreI want to like Hallmark movies, I really do. But they apparently have a standard formula; if you've seen one you've seen them all. There is either a lost love, a character with a dead spouse, or a divorced parent that still loves the other party. This one is the lost love plot and if you couldn't figure out the ending in the first 10 minutes you've never seen a Hallmark movie.The supposedly ultra-glamorous sets for a trendy bridal magazine were standard Christmas decorations seen in any department store. The wedding dress was totally forgettable. This was supposed to be a top bridal rag and the poses were in front of a Christmas tree and a car? There was no thought toward making the "jobs" of either character the least bit authentic - what fashion photographer takes one shot and calls it "perfect" and walks away? Zero chemistry between the characters and bad acting all around.And my perennial complaint with Hallmark movies all shot on the same summer sound stage - green leaves on all of the trees, characters inappropriately dressed for what is supposed to be cold weather.Two hours of my life I will not get back.
... View MoreAfter a marathon of hallmark Christmas movies, which started so early in June, this one was by far the best among them, so far. the fresh faces was a nice change and the chemistry wasn't bad. Like every Hallmark Christmas movie this one have the romance along with the Christmas spirit, but unlike the other movies i didn't roll my eyes at the ending scene, which i've been doing a lot lately after watching every hallmark Christmas movie for this year. The story line was nice but predictable, the acting was good and the the proposal scene was perfect because it didn't end with a long kiss while a bunch of people cheering and give the happy couple a big applause. I watched it once and i don't feel like watching it again.
... View MoreI rated another holiday movie earlier today, so I am almost all out of Christmas cheer. But I mustered some up to review Merry Matrimony even though my wife and I watched about 50% of it. There was an NFL game that we were sort of watching at the same time, so we kept flipping back and forth between the game and Merry Matrimony. The game featured the Bengals and the Cardinals, and even though we have no rooting interest in either team, there were some players on my fantasy football team that I wanted to check in on. As of this writing, those players have accounted for 15.83 fantasy football points for me. Here's hoping that they add a few touchdowns to my point total before the game ends.As for the movie, I just want to echo what my wife says about the main male character's jaw and how it is not real. She insisted that he had a chin implant. I wasn't so sure, but I changed my mind during this one scene where he and the female love interest are in a horse carriage going to Central Park. He tilted his head upwards, and there was definitely a scar on the bottom of his chin. An implant scar! My wife and I collectively gasped for 25 seconds when we saw that. It looks like he stuffed an entire steel bear trap into his jaw.Anyways, there is love in the air in this movie. They are in New York, which is a pretty romantic place, so they would be a couple of morons if they don't end up with each other. And with that cash register of a jaw, the lead male character has everything he could possibly want. But for Christmas, I am getting him some scar cream.
