• What isn't wrong wih this movie?

  ueymorgme22018-04-29

  The writer/writers need to learn how to write a good script/storyline. This is not one of them. First of all, Jean Louise O'Sullivan's acting was horrible in this one. Sorry babe but then again, you're only as good as the script. Second of all, the last 10 minutes was stupid. Lexi is hit in the head by Brent and gets knocked out. It's a miracle, she wakes up and has no problem getting to the house before Nicole does even though Nicole left first? Third of all, why does no one remove the weapon from the person once they're down? And lastly, Grace gets murdered, Nicole calls the police and they can't do anything for 24 hours. After that, she is not mentioned again. Did the police find her body? There is a lot more wrong with this movie but it would take too long to point them out. But then again, it's a Lifetime movie.

• The Terminator?

  How many times does the antagonist have to get clobbered before she stops getting up? Wham with this, wham with that, wham with a shovel...she still snaps out of it good as new. So did the guy. I was waiting for the dead woman's corpse to come crawling out of the dumpster too. I guess her problem was that she was strangled, not clobbered. I did wonder what was going to happen to the bad guy at the end. That part was fairly decent. As a whole, it would be nice if they gave Lifetime movies an extra 5 minutes of production time. Then maybe they could be worthy of another star.

• Comically bad

  Initially there is a little warning about marrying someone you just met. But the acting of one of the cast is terrible. If you watch it you will see who. The ending is so dumb - knock out but don't disable again and again. Comically bad. Lifetime has been getting better but this one is a step backwards. Don't watch this one.

• Kari Wuhrer's superb performance highlights an ok film.

  Beautiful businesswoman is shocked when her daughter returns from a vacation in Mexico engaged to a mysterious handsome young man. The mother suspects that the soon-to-be-groom is a fraud who is after money of her daughter...And actually it is the truth. Morover the fiance has a secret psycho girlfriend and together they're planning to kill the poor daughter right after the honeymoon... FIANCE KILLER is a typical Lifetime movie, with a simple and predictable plot-line (the twist is so obvious it's not really a twist), and very tv-ish production values.The director does a passable job with the budget he has. The camera work is very basic with wash-out colors and almost no movement. The background music is next to zero. The young actors who play the (not so)evil soon-to-be-husband, the naive soon-to-be-bride and the evil crazy girlfriend are OK. However there's one thing that makes this film better than other Lifetime movies. It is the performance of Kari Wuhrer. Wuhrer was a class act for her entire career. Some people haven't been noticing her talent blinded by her beauty (she was one of the hottest girls on the screen in the late nineties). Nowadays she still is a very sexy woman (she wears some very provocative dresses throughout the movie, twp thumbs up) and still has a BIG talent. Wuhrer's tremendous gifts, her enormous range, her vocal and physical craft, her peerless skills at conveying complexity, show in the role of the mother driven by the endless love to her YA daughter. It's a pity that Wuhrer so rarely appears on the screen these days (only three big roles in the last five years). Anyway the amount of thought and effort that Wuhrer puts into her performance is something that makes this film special. See it when you have a chance!

• A funny little "thriller"

  halkatla-778282018-09-06

  I´m usually not a fan of the "so bad it´s good" category but I feel like this movie really fits in there. Most of the characters are so stupid and the conversations so silly (nothing new for a lifetime movie at that, but it actually works to this films advantage) that it really turns into a comedy (in a good way). The villainess is very over the top, she´s like a psycho toddler on drugs, it makes no sense that Brent wouldn´t just kill her and enjoy the money with his sexy young wife. Neither does it make sense that he would have gotten her to believe he was for real, but... anyway. He tries his best to complete the mission, but his real girlfriend constantly shows up and tries to ruin it, often in very cartoon-ish ways, even though this was her plan that she supposedly spent months planning.
