The Marry Me Pact (TV Movie 2023)

The Marry Me Pact (TV Movie 2023). 1h 28m

“Another Reel One Entertainment TV movie which takes place in Florida and it was actually shot there. It was co-produced with Sunshine Films which are notorious for producing movies with various technical issues, and sadly this one wasnu0026#39;t spared, too. Several scenes suffer from loud background music so you can barely hear what cast is saying/talking. Few scenes also suffer from poor audio recording. The good news is that most of the movie is free from the both issues. Music score is overall weak and forgetable. They also overused stock footage which just artificially prolongs run time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCast is pretty good, I would say one of the better among ROE TV movies. IMO, Meggan Kaiser is probably and currently the best ROE lead actress and she is better than the vast majority of Hallmark one. She was really great. Looking forward to watch more movies with her. Her partner Tyler Harlow was so-so. I thought his weird speak in u0026quot;The Love Advisoru0026quot; was on purpose, but it seems he speaks like that in real life. Side cast was good enough, and for me Steven Calakos was the best among them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe main issue with movie is all over the place writting. Itu0026#39;s pretty obvious that ROE is using new untested writers who write for the first time in their new TV movies. Clearly as there is a writers guild strike, so SAG-AFTRA is not mentioned in the movie closing credits like they are always before it. Like majority, I donu0026#39;t care about strike, and Iu0026#39;m going to say that some of those new writers are more competent than many established one.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo, the movie plot is about famous fallback marriage pact trope. Heck, itu0026#39;s even in the name of the movie! Let me say what I really liked – the secondary story about Charlotteu0026#39;s sister Joey and Billy-Joe. Itu0026#39;s hard to see really well fleshed out secondary story. Now not so good things. The first huge issue is the leads age. I canu0026#39;t find their real age, but there is no way both are close to 30. Tyler is probably close to 40. Second, the most of the Acts I and III are ridiculous in many ways. I donu0026#39;t want to spoil anything… However, Act II which is obviously the majority of movie is pretty good, and I enjoyed it. If in ROE TV movie Act I is bad it almost always never recovers from it. This one is rare exception.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, itu0026#39;s average movie with some highs, and sadly some lows, but itu0026#39;s worth watching for Meggan Kaiser, Act II and the secondary story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd obligatory donu0026#39;t watch trailer as itu0026#39;s the ROE one and for some unknown reason(s) it shows whole movie compressed.”
