Pretty blonde Cassi Thomson (as Annette) picks out a wedding dress, after her engagement to blond live-in lover Randy Wayne (as Oliver). Beautiful blonde best friend Samantha Cope (as Molly) thinks Ms. Thomson's purchase is premature. While shopping, the giggly duo receive the text story, "Wedding Thief Strikes Again - Still at Large." How quickly they will forget. Meanwhile, handsome blond Casper Van Dien (as Dayton) startles a bride-to-be by breaking and entering her home. He is picked up for speeding and we learn a woman died of strangulation as Mr. Van Dien goes to jail...

Eighteen months later, as predicted by Ms. Cope, boyfriend Wayne tells Thomson he's not really ready for marriage. He says he needs more time. Thomson's bad luck continues. She must quit her job after a sex attack from the boss. Cope invites her best girlfriend to move in and suggests Thomson make money buying a "Storage Locker" and selling the contents. After three months of non-payments, we're told these lockers are auctioned off. This turns out to be a successful business, but "Storage Locker 181" belonged to Van Dien. He gets out of jail and wants his belongings back...

This is a strange story, and difficult to rate. A serial strangler would likely receive jail time amounting to more than 18 months. There is some evidence in the script that this is a special case; for example, the killing we see may be the first victim who actually died. But, it still seems odd. Another nagging oddity is that people who work around "Storage Lockers" don't check for valuables before they are auctioned. It might help that Van Dien is very good looking, and has a jaw line to die for. He also directed. Also, co-starring girlfriends Thomson and Cope are very cute and appealing.

**** The Last Bid (4/25/2016) Casper Van Dien ~ Cassi Thomson, Casper Van Dien, Samantha Cope, Randy Wayne

I am having a hard time reviewing this. To start off these two silly girls drove me crazy with their giddiness and silly conversations. I was ready to move on and enter Casper Van Dien, a most attractive man to look at. I also noticed that he directed it as well. First of all it is almost impossible to look at Casper without swooning. I wanted him to win from the beginning. The two silly girls were that annoying to watch and listen to. I said please knock them off - NOW. And if someone doesn't get the frigging hair out of their faces I'll scream. That's the extent of their acting abilities - hair. The young man who played one of the girl's ex was strange with these Peter Lorre eyes. This is a very slow moving film and not that well acted. But worth the watching to see Casper the good looking man.
