Most adults loathe going home for the holidays because their families bombard them with questions of their personal lives. In “Marry Me for Christmas,” Marci Jewel is fed up with her family bugging her about finding a husband so, when the opportunity to have a fake fiancé for the holidays arises, she jumps at the chance.

The main actors were Brad James, who played Adam; Malinda Williams, who plays Marci and Karon Joseph and Carl Anthony Payne II, who both played Blair.

When Marci goes home for Christmas after not being back for four years, she brings home her business partner Adam. After her family meets Adam, they assume he and Marci are together. Marci sees this as a chance to get her family off her back so, Marci and Adam pretend to be engaged.

They keep up the charade until Marci realizes Adam is just using her for her job. She then fires him and realizes she has feelings for her childhood friend, Blair and they end up engaged.

The movie was predictable, none of the characters had strong personalities and was too fast-paced to be enjoyable.

The overall concept of having a fake fiancé was interesting, it just wasn’t executed in the best way. The director, Roger Melvin and the writer, Rhonda Baraka, should have developed the character’s personalities to make the chemistry between characters such as Marci and Blair and Marci and her mother more believable.

I would not recommend “Marry Me for Christmas.” There wasn’t many good aspects of the movie. However, the twist that Adam was only using Marci for his own personal gain was a good plot twist that kept the movie slightly interesting.
