I rented this on a rainy day without knowing much about it other than the plot written on the back of the DVD. A fake priest trying to fool a woman into sleeping with him three days before her wedding but falls in love? Far fetched, but might be entertaining. Wrong! The funniest moments of the movie come in the first 5 minutes before Kenny Doughty shows up. There is never a mention of where the movie is set, the accents are confusing - Kenny's character and his family and one man in a café speak with a strong British accent, everyone else I assume is Canadian/American?
Kenny's antics to keep Rachel's character and her fiancé apart are beyond ridiculous and no-one seems to pick up on how "out there" he is. Watching him play charades to reveal a "secret" and pretending to be possessed on their honeymoon is incredibly painful to watch. The shtick is entertaining for about 15 seconds then it's pure torture. How did Kenny's character get to the honeymoon location before the bride and groom and how on earth did he afford it? Since when do wealthy newlyweds honeymoon in their own towns (wherever the heck their town was)?
The ending is so trite and beyond belief, I guess if people didn't follow their instinct to turn the movie off 30 minutes in, a decision that had to be re-evaluated with every passing scene, they deserved to watch the rest of it.
