ABC Family: My Fake Fiance

about the movie

my fake fiance'

Oil and water get along better than Jennifer (Melissa Joan Hart) and Vince (Joey Lawrence) who are seated together at a wedding and have an immediate and passionate dislike for one another. Jennifer is a smart, sarcastic go-getter with a penchant for burning through boyfriends, while Vince is a fringe-dwelling ladies man and bad gambler who gets by more on charm and wits then on any discernable skill set. The one thing they have in common, however, is shock and awe at the haul of presents and cash the bride and groom rake in as wedding gifts. That common thread will bring them together within a week when both have a dire need - Vince for cash to pay off a loan shark (Steve Schirripa, "The Sopranos"); Jennifer for stuff to fill her looted house.

The cash-strapped duo hatch the perfect plan - fake a relationship, engagement and quickie wedding. He'll get the money, she'll keep the housewares, and they only have to stay together long enough to make it look authentic. Of course, convincing everyone that they're not rushing to the altar for the obvious reason is one thing. "OK. ONE MORE TIME! I AM NOT PREGNANT!" Convincing the families they're really in love is entirely more challenging. Jennifer's parents drink the wedding Kool-Aid and decide to pay for the wedding (So much for a no-cost, "We eloped!" announcement.) and the pending nuptials draw Vince's deadbeat Dad back into his life. Jennifer starts to find herself caught up in being a bride and planning a wedding, and Vince finds himself remembering what it feels like to be part of a family, warts and all.

Just as true love never runs smoothly, neither does true distain and, despite their mutual commitment to fraud, these two unlikely partners begin to soften towards each other. Could love really be in the air?
