Wow, don't get how this movie is rated so high.
I love a good romcom but this one wasn't believable for a moment. And I don't mean the basic premise, getting married as a business deal. I mean Johnny (Lamarr) spends about 2 hours total over 2 months having any kind of interaction whatsoever with Bill (Steward) and all of it entirely business like. It's clear she hasn't thought romantically one whit about Bill or for that matter even friendship thoughts. It's been entirely a business transaction for her. All the while she's been having a happy fun loving relationship with Barton for months. And then, in one 1/2 day stretch she somehow, through the magic a bad writing, falls for Bill and totally ditches the guy she's been longing to marry for the last several months. Barton is never played as bad. it's not like he ever neglected Johnny or strung her along with false promises or was mean to her or anything else that might lead us to believe she'd dump him so quickly. He's been loving to her the entire time we've seen them together and she to him. All we can gather is that she'll dump Bill just as easily for the next guy.
