Betty's Bad Luck in Love (2024 TV Movie)
4/10
Fear of a curse or fear of commitment
22 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Acting was decent, but the story-line needs some revamping.

This starts off cute enough, I mean what 6th-8th grader wouldn't want to think they had enough power over someone to completely change their behavior. Even more so that the person actually believes it was true for long into adulthood, ha, that's funny! But, really 20 years later and this ditz is still believing in this stuff!? Ugh, life happens. We grow up. We learn that not everything has a reason, sometimes stuff just is...but to keep dumping boyfriend after boyfriend for no reason other than this mysterious curse and claim it's because she doesn't want the person to get hurt?! Seriously, that's just an EXCUSE to "fear commitment"! The fact this new person keeps putting up with her ridiculous constant breaking up with him is baffling. I get it, he's in love with her, but why? Nothing showed any substance of why he should be so head-over-heals in love with this woman that he would put up with this BS. He's more than good looking, so it's not that unless he's that super insecure, but his character doesn't give off that vibe. This would have been better as a fantasy romance and change it to she didn't believe until all these things started happening to her and the schoolmate really was a witch and they had to undo the curse. As it stands the reaction is a normal reaction by an adult years later forgetting the way they treated the other person and having no idea what the blazes was going on... Curse ad nauseam much! Ugh! By the end I was glad my curse of choosing to watch this was over.

Overall, the acting was decent, but the story was lacking, the characters reasons for staying together is weak considering her previous abandonment, I mean if it's from love and not commitment issues, why would this one be any different????
