A New Cultural Low



If I didn't know better, I'd think this was an incredibly elaborate joke. My Fake Fiance, starring Joey Lawrence and Melissa Joan Hart, strikes a truly dissonant chord on the pop cultural keyboard. This disgusting sack of TV filth is sure to scrape new lows in the already infathomable canyon of brain rot known as ABC Family. Plot as follows:

Jennifer (Melissa Joan Heart) has just bought her first house and spent all her savings on the down payment. If that isn't enough she has just been robbed. Vince (Joey Lawrence) is a ladies man and has a problem betting. He owes a lot of money to a guy named Shark. When seated next to each other at a wedding they show great dislike to each other. They both are owed on how much cash and gifts a bride and groom get. They start getting ideas. A week later they meet for lunch and stage a fake romance and engagement. As they lie to there parents and friends Jennifer gets caught up in planning a wedding and Vince the pressure of being a groom. As they spend more time together they start to fall for each other.

Surprised? You shouldn't be. This crap makes Sabrina look like Six Feet Under. If Joey "Woha" Lawrence didn't already deserve public humiliation, this would put him on the list. Personally I'd rather be tarred, feathered and ridden out of town on a rail than appear in this ultimate television garbage scow.

Did I mention that I'm going to watch it? Well, I am.

Also, I found this searching for a better plot synopsis of this crummy movie:

How do you deal with it? My brother has Genetic Scitsophrania and he thinks that he is a cat.
