“In a confusing opening, we switch settings without understanding what on Earth is happening. Australia 2003, Alabama two years earlier, and Miami four years later pass quickly. Stay tuned, because it does make sense. The basic story begins when attractive students Billy Miller (as David Gabriel u0026quot;Gabeu0026quot; Watson) and Amber Clayton (as Christina u0026quot;Tinau0026quot; Thomas) meet at a university in Alabama. They are mutually attracted and hook up. Their foremost characteristics, early on, are that heu0026#39;s a bit of a jerk and sheu0026#39;s afraid of water. Eventually, there is a proposal. Her father, Harvey Keitel (as Thomas u0026quot;Tommyu0026quot; Thomas) reluctantly gives the couple his blessing. As you can guess by the title, a u0026quot;Fatal Honeymoonu0026quot; occurs…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis was very likely based on a true story. It aired near the end of an era when this type of story was very popular on US television. Usually, a good-looking young man took a pretty blonde girl out to some exotic location for nefarious activities. Sensationalist TV commentators like Greta Van Susteren and Nancy Grace would breathlessly report any information or misinformation on the incidents. TV movie adaptations followed. Probably, these stories continue, but they are presently not in vogue. Having Mr. Keitel play a major role lifts the performances; in this case, a rising tide lifts all boats. The production is not below average for a TV drama, but the story is far too subjective and its characters lack substance.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e**** Fatal Honeymoon (2012-08-25) Nadia Tass ~ Billy Miller, Harvey Keitel, Amber Clayton, Gary Sweet”
