%20Movie%20Review.jpg "Accidentally Engaged (2016) Movie Review")
I first thought of the popular movie "While You Were Sleeping" when Peter Callaghan wakes from a coma to find out he is engaged to a
stranger. We have also seen movies where people do crazy
things when intoxicated
that they don't remember when sober. I'll start by telling you that
the characters in "Accidentally Engaged" were neither comatose nor
intoxicated.
I do love a good romantic comedy, so, needless to say, I was intrigued by
the title of this movie. I recognized Lexi Giovagnoli from previous
movies, but I was not previously familiar with Brant Daugherty. Turns out, both are adorable and fun to watch.
Since both the name of the movie and the actors shown on the cover compelled me to watch it, I recorded it to watch when I had time.
Weeks later, that opportunity presented itself and I settled back to see the show.
Accidentally Engaged
Accidentally EngagedCheck PriceClarissa Byers is a struggling actress working as a waitress to pay the bills. She has a small bit part in a movie starring Chas Hunter, a successful "heartthrob" actor.
Playing the part of a waitress, which should be a comfortable role for Clarissa, she accidentally spills coffee on Chas when the lid comes off of the coffee pot. She is fired from the movie for not properly checking the props.
When Clarissa returns home for her best friend's wedding, she is immediately hit with questions about Hollywood, her love life, working with Chas Hunter and what he is really like. She is too embarrassed to tell them she was fired from the movie. When one of the girls comes across a picture on social media that looks like Clarissa kissing Chas, the conversation gets completely out of control and Clarissa tells them she is dating Chas. Of course, her friends start sharing the dating information on social media.
Since Chas is actually dating a married woman in the middle of a divorce, he seizes the opportunity to claim the woman in the photo is Clarissa. They make a plan to cover for each other, but when the paparazzi snaps a photo that looks like Chas is proposing, they opt to make the best of it. Clarissa could use the press to help further her career and Chas needs a stand-in girlfriend. But, he does need a public breakup too, so Chas decides to join Clarissa at her best friend's wedding to stage the breakup. However, it's not that easy!
This turned out to be a really good romantic comedy and a nice break from a day's work. I do recommend it if you are seeking a fun and entertaining romantic movie.
As a side note, you will probably recognize Clarissa's talent agent. The part of Jeannette is played by Maureen McCormick who many of us know as "Marcia".

ReplyDeleteFirst of all "While You Were Sleeping" is one of my favorite all time movies - we watch it every Christmas or whenever I'm in the mood! Accidentally engaged actually sounds like an excellent movie too especially when you're in the mood for something light, to unwind after a long day. I'm not one to watch romantic commedies very often, but this one sounds pretty good. Knowing it's on Prime is handy too, thank you.
ReplyDeleteOh what a perfectly delightful tale and I'm sure the movie is just as much fun as the plot. I will have to look for this one! Thanks for bringing it to my attention! I will be a nice change from the Christmas in July movies I've been watching.
