We’ve all seen this plot before, the girl gets a guy to pretend to be her boyfriend and eventually falls for him.
But the way this movie portrays it is both refreshing and entertaining.
There are no dull moments, with smart humour and just enough chick-flick romance to keep fans of those interested but not so much that everyone else gets tired.
Hart and Lawrence are a hilarious duo; their characters are so much alike in their cynical sense of humour that they keep the scenes moving with witty dialogue.
We will admit, the guys which Vince owes money to aren’t tough enough to be really believable, but then again real gangsters would be slightly disturbing in a light-hearted movie like this.
Great watch, too bad it was a made-for-TV, it’s much better than many on the big screen.
A sham marriage leads to genuine romance for a woman who lost everything, and a guy who’s in debt to a vicious loan shark.
Her moving van stolen, Jennifer (Melissa Joan Hart) is left with nothing but three throw pillows and a cardboard box.
Meanwhile, thirty-something charmer Vince (Joey Lawrence) has racked up a rather serious gambling debt.
Should he fail to pay up soon, he’s likely to wind up crippled for life.
Having recently met at the wedding of a mutual friend, Jennifer and Vince surmise that the best way to make some quick cash is to take a trip to the alter themselves.

If everything goes as planned, Jennifer will keep the items on the registry, and Vince can avoid becoming a punching bag for a bookie’s thugs.
Then a quickie divorce and everyone is happy; but in order for the plan to work, they’ll have to act like genuine love birds.
Trouble is Vince and Jennifer already bicker like a couple that’s been married for decades.
The closer the wedding gets, however, the more the prospective bride and groom find their fake affections taking on an air of authenticity.
