To be honest, I didn't expect much based on the description of this movie
so I was very surprised to find a movie I really liked a lot. I chose
it solely because David Sutcliffe was one of the main actors. I was
not previously familiar with his co-star, Vanessa Marcil, but turns out, I
really like her too. She has a very easy smile, a lovely face and is a
believable actress. They make a very cute couple!
This movie was a very nice break for me. I had stepped away from the romance movie genre this summer and started watching more of the mystery series movies. I still had the final mystery episode in my mystery series to watch, but I was not in the mood for another murder today. Thus, I sought out a pleasant romance.
The Convenient Groom Synopsis
Kate Lawrence, Ph.D is a popular dating advice video blogger with a book deal just around the corner. The movie starts with her offering tips on how to spot the red flags in a relationship on her show, "Just ... No". I laughed out loud when I heard her describe a "high maintenance" man.
Any movie that can make me laugh in the first two minutes is almost guaranteed to be a winner!
Following her own advice, Kate has found her own perfect fiance, soon to be husband. For those of us watching, we can easily spot the "red flags" in her relationship, but she naively chooses to ignore them because she wants a relationship without conflict. No surprise when her fiance breaks up with her, leaving her to explain to her audience what just happened to her big announcement. She is about to "air all" when an old friend steps in to save her day, and her job, by claiming to be her fiance. She, and her entire crew, are surprised, but play along with him during the filming to keep from having a totally disastrous show.
Lucas Wright feels really bad for Kate when he overhears her fiance breaking off their engagement, admitting that he is seeing someone else. When she slips away to gather her thoughts before continuing the filming, Lucas takes that moment to talk to her. Because he really wants to help, he ends up stepping out during the filming and announcing that he is Kate's fiance. Of course, the crowd goes wild!
Kate and Lucas are engaged, at least as far as everyone else is
concerned. The announcement day has been saved, but now what?
Her book deal is still up in the air and vendors are lining up to be chosen
for their wedding day in a few months. Sort of, jumping from the frying pan into the fire scenario.
Okay, so you probably have it all figured out, but it is still a delightfully fun mess to watch!

The Convenient Groom - Hallmark Movie Review by:
A good Rom-Com is necessary at times! I completely understand why taking a break from murder-mysteries is sometimes necessary (lol) - this particular romantic Hallmark movie sounds like a nice fun, light, way to enjoy an evening (with popcorn).
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy a good Hallmark Romantic movie, even if the plot is predictable. Love the title 'The Convenient Groom' and look forward to viewing this lighthearted movie.
ReplyDeleteLike you I love a good movie that makes me laugh right from the get go! I just happened to watch this movie a few days ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Sometimes you just don't need all the action and noise of some movies, a good story and a cute "couple" is all it takes! Thanks for this wonderful review, I'm sure many people will enjoy this movie!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fun escape movie.
ReplyDeleteI’m a sucker for a good rom-com, so I’m sure I would enjoy this one, Ms Mouse. The set-up makes the ending predictable, but that wouldn’t detract from my enjoyment. I do wonder what happens with the woman Lucas was seeing when he decided spontaneously to announce VERY publicly that he was now Kate’s fiancé, which must have come as a shock and embarrassment to the girlfriend. Thanks so much for your review and recommendation!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember Lucas having a girlfriend. It has been a few weeks since I watched the movie and I may need to watch it again.
DeleteOops! I misunderstood. I just reread the relevant sentence in your review and saw that it was Kate’s fiancé who admitted he was seeing someone else. That makes more sense!
DeleteSounds like my kind of movie. I like fun and light hearted.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a lovely, light hearted, fun and romantic movie. How wonderful that it made you laugh in the first two minutes! Thank you for your recommendation.
