Meet My Valentine (2015)

except, maybe, the relation between Tom Bishop and his wife. who seems be ...strange for a young couple. the care for the partner after your death is not new idea in cinematography but it needs a subtle, delicate manner to show it. in this case, the problem is the not credible way to present this noble feeling. Courtney Ford gives a so cold character than the temptation of the scriptwriter seems be to transform her in a statue. Scott Wolf did a decent job, but his character is real uncomfortable because nothing seems credible. something essential missing in this film. sure, no surprise , but the premises are too good for a solution who seems be an improvisation result.for a touching story, without many explanations and for the fans of sentimentalș dramas in sauce of lovely end, it is a good choice.

Most everyone has seen the clichéd versions of the dying loved one. It's been done so many times, that one has to wonder if there is any other creative way to do it. The writers of "Meet My Valentine" feel that they've come up with one. Unfortunately, it's a movie that barely delivers. While I applaud the writers for trying something new and different, they don't quite pull it off.Tom Bishop is a married man who finds out that he's terminally ill. It's clear that he loves his wife, Val (Valentine) and daughter, Phoebe. However, instead of telling his wife about his illness, he conceals it from her. He doesn't want emotion, and it's obvious that he believes he's sparing his family the physical suffering he will endure. The writers don't realize, that had they stuck to this premise, the movie would have worked. Instead, they take it a step further.With the realization that he's going to die in about a year's time, Tom decides that he needs to find a new husband/father for his family. This is where the movie spends too much time dealing with Tom screening potential men. It borders on the ludicrous, which is why it fails. And instead of feeling sympathy toward Tom, we actually find ourselves amazed at his cowardice and selfishness. While Tom believes he's doing it for his family, the truth is, he's only doing it for himself. He hasn't the emotional maturity to actually talk to his wife and daughter about what he's going through. Again, had the writers focused on this, the movie would have worked. The climax of the film comes much too late (at about an hour and fifteen minutes), and the conclusion much too quick, contrived, and easy to be believed.I really wanted this movie to be more than it was. It had so much potential, especially with stellar performances by the cast. But ultimately, the movie just doesn't work very well. At this point, I'd much rather watch a clichéd movie on this subject. Or better yet, give me a "Highway to Heaven" episode instead. Michael Landon was a master with stories like these.

I don't know how this was made into a movie or how anyone even watched it. I'd rather sit through Batman Vs Superman again and not watch another minute of this movie.Like what makes you think your wife would want to get with another guy right away when you die? and is she not capable of picking a man by herself? I'm glad that he loves her so much that he can't trust her to live her own life, and therefore to treat her as an object.My dog can come up with better ideas for a movie than this. He can actually write a better script too. I've never written a review before or rated a movie online, but I just wish if I've never came across it and that I can get back the time I've wasted on it. You can watch at your own risk.

I don't understand , how some people like this movie. It is not even romantic or funny, its just annoying. The lead character is so controlling. Love without freedom is not love at all. Controlling and deciding all the other's lives and call it "caring". Nice excuse, isn't it? Bit shocked to see many people liking it and writing a good review. I don't know, how would anyone like a dying partner, who tries to choose who should be with his wife, when he dies. New level of being controlling. I think the people who liked it would be happy, if he had found a future husband for his daughter, before dying. and I don't know what is romantic in the movie.Just a dying man with sick ideas.only plus is good looking cast.
