bcjjjs I was searching on Netflix for a movie to get me out of a bad mood (too many family illnesses) and came across "My Fake Fiancé." Let me start out by saying I had no idea that Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence were child actors who had hit television shows, as I seldom watch commercial television.I will not give away any of the plot, which was indeed predictable but amusing. Hart and Lawrence are SO likable that I could not stop watching. Their dialogue delivery is very natural plus on screen, Hart & Lawrence have great couple chemistry. An added bonus is your entire family may watch the movie as it is simply charming.

samisspink The only downside is this isn't available on DVD. I adore Mel and Joe on screen together. They really have a good chemistry and seem to have a good rapport of humour going. Really enjoyed watching this. Like another reviewer said, it's obvious what's going to happen at the end (although, aren't most movies?) but the way they do it makes it so enjoyable to watch. They really suit their characters and I really hope to see more of them on screen in future!Whether you're a Melissa and Joey fan or a rom-com fan, or even just a wedding lover, this is one to watch! Would love it if it was available on DVD too.

Amy Adler Jennifer (Melissa Joan Hart) is miffed to be attending another friend's wedding. She has spent a fortune on gifts and new shoes, besides the humiliation of not being married or attached herself. Now in her thirties, Jenn does have a good job and has saved enough for her first house. But, hold the phone, folks meet their matches at weddings, no? Well, not today! Jenn finds herself at the same table as Vince (Joseph "Joey" Lawrence) who has a fresh mouth and a crumpled suit. Also, as he receives a telephone call at the reception, Jenn learns that he is a compulsive gambler, too, with big debts. Ugh. But, with no one else to converse with, Jenn and Vince soon get on a discussion of how much each of them has forked over for gifts for their pals. Soon, a brilliant idea is hatched. The new duo of Jenn and Vince will get engaged, plan a wedding, score some great gifts and cash then call it off at the last minute. No one really wants their purchases back anyway, right? As the couple begin to cement their plans, they must meet often and introduce each other to their extended families. Could it be that a fake fiancé might turn into the genuine article? This very cute fractured fairy tale of a romcom will delight fans. Hart is certainly becoming the champion of such stuff while Lawrence is not far behind. Both are attractive and funny performers who entertain their target audiences well. Also, the supporting cast is very capable, especially Steven Shirraripa as the mobster in control of Vince's bad habits. Sets, costumes, script, and direction are typical but more than adequate. Gals or any fans of these films, go search for this one soon. I got mine on a wonderful four volume disc with three other nice ABC family films.

xx_Sarah This movie was very predictable. I knew exactly what was going to happen before the opening credits even came on! However, as predictable as it was, the movie was much better than I expected. I'm not a big fan of Melissa Joan Hart, but I really liked the movie. It was like watching a good movie for the second time (you know exactly what's going to happen, but you still want to watch it and end up loving it just the same).It was basically about Jennifer and Vince - two strangers who meet through a mutual friend and are both broke - pretending to be engaged so they can get the gifts and the money. However, little do they realize, they end up falling in love. Their only problem is, do they go through with the wedding plan?
