OMG! Where to start! This was one of the biggest collection of terrible acting in one single movie! It must be a record!

The bride, her sister and the bridesmaids oh and especially the groom himself Steven He were all awful! Steven's acting and his dialogue was just plain irritating!

The story line could have been ok if tge acting was better! Oh then we have the CGI. The smoke and fire were just comical!

Steven He's best acting is in his Tik Tok "emotional damage" clip, because it's short and simple and does not require any skills!

I have run out of things to say and still have thirteen characters to use!

Watch Your Back, Katie!

Warning: Spoilers
"Betrayed by My Bridesmaid" includes some of the most obnoxious characters imaginable. Katie and Tom, a sweet couple, are preparing for their wedding. But at every stage, something goes terribly wrong that embarrasses the couple and even places Katie's life in danger.

The characters were too slow in realizing that someone hates Katie and is trying to sabotage her wedding. Even when a note is received that is a clear threat to Katie, the contents are dismissed with the only suspect being Katie's wayward sister Connie. But it soon becomes apparent that Connie is being framed by one of the other bridesmaids.

On the IMDb site, the Marvista production team has provided a capsule summary that gives away the identity of the jealous and vindictive bridesmaid. So much for any suspense, surprise, or plot twists here!

The film lapsed into comedy toward the end with a wild scene in a hotel in which the cheap hotel room door was easily kicked in to rescue Katie from a fire. Even the bachelorette party with male strippers was pretty lame. While there were some colorful locations, the film lacked substance in its characters and has little to recommend it. For a drama of pre-wedding mix-ups and confusion, nothing can surpass Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

Not good!

There were many things in this movie that made no sense! Her sister videotapes the bridemaids betrayal and, instead of just texting it to her sister she goes to the bridesmaid! Then the bride gets caught in the room with a fire set by the same bridesmaid which just started and yet she doesn't go to the bathroom and just turn in the water to put it out! AND during the last struggle, all she does is elbow the fiance and he falls down while the bride is being choked such that her sister has to help! Such bad writing. Diversity was the only good thing about this! Good premise but just bad writing.

Entertaining enough

Katie celebrates her birthday in a literal tiara as a grown-ass woman. Her assistant (or friend for the night.), Heather throws her a bash, which includes a choreographed dance w/ Katie's real friends, Jamie and Amanda. The night seems to be going well until Katie's recently out-of-rehab sister, Connie, sleeps with her boyfriend. The straw breaks the camel's back, and the sisters become estranged.

Years later, to Katie's surprise, though, Connie is released from rehab just in time for the wedding and seems more stable than ever. Skeptical, Katie reluctantly includes Connie in her bridal party. But not long after Connie is back in the fold things begin to unravel, testing Katie and Tom's relationship. As a few small pranks turn into Katie fearing for her life, Connie is blamed for everything as the most obvious culprit. Is she the culprit, though?

Yes, there's some plot holes such as why didn't Katie douse out that fire real quick and why did Connie not send that implicating video message to her sister, but I guess for dramatic license and suspense these were breezed over. It doesn't distract its entertaining value - it's got a good plot and agreeable acting. Bear in mind this is a Lifetime TV production and, unlike Hollywood blockbuster thrillers, it isn't endowed with a big budget or undergoes countless write-ups. There's a denigrated audience for this fare. Personally, I quite enjoyed it and Ashley Dakin is a sight for sore eyes.

Nontraditional Casting and Good Storyline!
newsworthyeveryday9 June 2023
Finally, Lifetime produced a movie with diverse characters and a believable storyline, along with a great title. Excellent casting of Joy Sung Kim. Also some touching and emotional moments between the groom and his mother. A fun bachelorette party with a surprise stripper provides for extra entertainment. If you have been begging for a Lifetime movie with a diverse cast, this is it, doctors, best friends, and even the groom fit the bill. A great movie to watch if you're in a wedding party or better yet, about to get married. The writers, director, actors and Lifetime are to be commended, kudos!
