Brilliant and touching

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The Perfect Bride is a 1991 TV movie starring Kelly Preston(Jack Frost) as Laura a young woman who's brother Ted is getting married to a very attractive blonde named Stephanie(Sammie Davis)who is originally from England. What Laura's brother doesn't know is that his fiancee is a serial killer who kills her fiances on the eve of her wedding to them as she uses a syringe with poison added to it which kills off her fiances in an instant,as before the film starts we see Stephanie with dark hair killing her fiance in bed and she cuts and dyes her hair blonde so that no one would know that it was her.Laura grows suspicious of Stephanie when she sees her acting all weird. Will Laura save her brother from Stephanie's evil plans. Overall the film is actually not that bad. Sammie Davis who plays the pschopathic Englishwoman was so eerie and mainpulative as Stephaine the attractive blonde who kills men on the eve of her wedding. Kelly Preston was very good as Laura who as I have mentioned suspects that Stephaine is up to no good. If you like Sleeping With The Enemy and I Married An Axe Murderer than check it out.

The name "Perfect Bride" is a misnomer - should have called the movie "Psycho Bride" - how was the bride perfect? The bride just wanted to kill anyone who was suspicious or got in her way. Sammi Davis (the bride Stephanie) had decent acting chops but with a weak script she wasn't very convincing as a revenging bride-to-be; her victims were too easy to kill, boring to watch and after an hour into the picture, the story became too predictable. Kelly Preston's (Laura) acting was decent but not a stellar performance. Supporting roles were weak, plot was tired, and the movie's final scene ended abruptly. A good movie is a collaborative effort so it would not be fair to say this movie was weak because of the actors; the director and the screenplay writer should share the blame for this bland movie.

...while engaging in social drinking. To all the naysayers out there who insist a movie ought to be judged on it's merits alone, I would invite you to watch this movie with a group of people who don't mind stepping outside and missing any plot points, not that this movie provides many, and really get into the luscious Velveeta that this movie is. It has so many "don't go through that door!" moments that this movie becomes something more of a good backdrop to a good party than it would ever make as a serious thriller. The acting, well, seems like acting. The victims you knew would die even before it is hinted, the method of elimination, always the same. Ordinarily I wouldn't T give this two shakes, but it really does grow on you if you remember that a movie can be more than just a movie-it can be background music for something much more.If that's not enough, stick around for the obviously marked sluts who get theirs.

Had this film been a submarine it would have sunk in shallow water from all the holes. This woman was so psychotic she couldn't have hidden her condition from a half witted, blind, ten year old. She had more problems than a certain gentleman driving a white Bronco down an L.A. freeway. All her victims sported a pair of dead giveaways that any first year morgue attendant could spot from across the street. Hello? Do the authorities know how to spell autopsy? Aside from these glaring holes the size of King Kong's hemorrhoids it wasn't a total wash-out. Decent enough performances but the pratfalls were strictly amateurville. After the first 5 minutes I saw exactly how the thing would end....and it did. This picture reminded me a lot of 2 other movies in this genre which were much better: "Black Widow" and "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle".
