A Marriage of Convenience (1998 TV Movie)
10/10
Warm, well-acted story
3 July 2006
While most of us like to purport to enjoy grandiose productions, costing 9 figures, and delivering deep messages - this simple movie, with two engaging adult leads, and one of the few juvenile performances which is not annoying, but equally engaging, is an outstanding piece of entertainment. Brolin and Alexander are handsome and likable, and one can enjoy not only viewing them, but also an old-fashioned "happy ending." It doesn't matter you can see it coming from a mile away, you enjoy it no less. This is a movie which you will look forward to seeing a second time. The only unfortunate aspect, is that while you'd enjoy seeing this couple in a sequel, it isn't probable, since these characters would likely have no problems to resolve, as necessary for dramatic purposes to warrant a sequel (and one would not like to see the happy resolution of this original compromised).
