His Secret Marriage (2019 TV Movie) User Reviews

A moderately entertaining bad movie

[vaultoverseer_15 · 6/10 · 30 September 2022]

The majority of this movie is a typical Lifetime movie. It's terribly shot, poorly acted, cheesy and pretty bad. But it's cardinal sun is being boring. However, it makes up for it in the last half hour ish. When the 'action ' starts, that's when the movie goes from a 1, to a 10. We get fight scenes, musical stingers, and big twists. Its bad - but it is now entertaining bad.

I like to rate entertainingly bad movies and I normally solely give them a 1 or a 10. 1 for well, being terrible but not entertaining, and a 10 for being bad and entertaining. But if it does both, I don't know how to rate it. It's hard to legitimately rate this movie, but I think I'll give it a 6/10 for entertainment. Parts of this "movie" are genuinely unwatchable but the last half an hour is very watchable.

Slow and boring but I still thought it was decent

[lmnclips · 5/10 · 28 October 2020]

I thought this was a boring decent and slow movie, not much really happens but I still waited for the typical, climatic ending, that we all see too often. The climax was kind of disappointing ngl, it was very obvious that Kelsey wasn't married to Jason and that he was actually her concierge. So the twist didn't really surprise me. Also the title makes no sense, when I read it I thought that the husband was secretly married to another woman, and that she had to find out before it was too late. Unfortunately that wasn't the case, and there was no "secret marriage" but that wouldn't have been a good plot line to catch my attention.



6.5/10

Boring

[Montserrat23 · 24 November 2019]

We kept watching this movie, hoping for something to happen, but it was uneventful and we couldn't wait for it to end. Everything looked fake and staged, Lifetime movies are usually better or, at least, not that bad. Not worth it at all.

Bad and boring

'His Secret Marriage' (2019)

Boring and bad. And the title is stupid and misleading. And Karissa Lee Staples has the body of a 13-year-old, as usual, and never seems to look any older than 16 in all the LMN movies she's been in, fighting off psychos ad nauseam. But Lifetime just keeps right on putting her as the lead in their silly movies...sigh.

The movie strings you along for the first hour and a half, keeping you guessing as to whether or not they're really married or the guy is Iying to her, after their car accident at the beginning.

I need to stop expecting halfway-intelligent, halfway-decent movies from this network, just because there HAVE been a few good ones here and there over the past few years..

(And Matt Cohen looks nothing like John Stamos, btw - contrary to the statement of another reviewer here)

Grade D / 2 out of 10.

Interesting

[tastemycandy · 7/10 · 27 June 2021]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the young John Stamos look-a-like in this flick. Nice eye candy. But c'mon Lifetime! What women is going to run from his fine self? It's not realistic at all. The movie was interesting. Sure it wasn't great. It does drag on for majority of the movie then the truth is revealed at the end. Quite suspenseful but may get boring to some. Honestly, John Stamos look-a-like kept me watching. He's sexy.

Yawn Fest

[randyvangorder · 1/10 · 3 January 2020]

Movie started out slow and never got any better. The acting was poor and at times over the top turning it into more of a comedy then a suspense flick. Overall good for a few laughs and a nap.

This was ok

[halloweenh27 · 7/10 · 3 July 2020]

This one was actually not that bad, but definitely not "good". Also, the movie's title really has nothing to do with the actual movie. "He" didn't have any "secret marriage".

OMG

I don't normally mi.d a lifetime hallmarky type movie in the afternoon when in the kitchen busy with other things. They are uncomplicated, easy watching and although they will never gain an Oscar for any actor, they pass the time. However this movie belittles the viewers intelligence and mocks our right to common sense TV.

So where do I start.

1. Dog walker sees two perfectly positioned peoe lying on the ground on the side of a hill with some tomato ketchup on their heads. What does she do. Rush to them to see if they are breathing and comfort them? Pull her mobile and call 911? No she runs off down the road shouting she's going to get help!!

2. Kelsey awakes from a 2 day coma. She remembers that she wasn't married, if that makes sense.

3. Kelsey's parents are asking for permission from the thunderbird lookalike husband to come and see their daughter who has been in a coma for two days?

4. No calls or messages or any visits from her friends. Where are they?

5. How wonderful that you can have alleged horrific accident and then wake from a two day coma with full perfect make up

6. I don't remember you blà blà blà . .where are the pictures he could present, text messages, calls etc etc

This has to be one of the stupidest films I have ever attempted to watch. I have to say attempted as I couldn't make it past twenty minutes.

I have some paint drying in another room and would rather watch that!!

Welcome to the Brick Manor Retreat!

[lavatch · 8/10 · 28 June 2021]

One of our favorite actresses, Karissa Lee "Lifetime" Staples, plays the role of Kelsey Carr in this intriguing amnesia film.

Kelsey sustained head trauma after an auto accident, and when she wakes up in the hospital, she is unable to recognize her newlywed husband, Jason Davis. With the apparent intent to rest and recover, Kelsey travels with Jason to the Brick Manor Retreat in idyllic Koston, California. It is at the plush Brick Manor that the plot thickens in the relationship of Kelsey and Jason.

There was good dramatic tension established in the uncertainty of Kelsey that Jason is actually her husband, as he claims. For Kelsey, "something feels off," especially when he insists that they "renew their vows" with a new marriage ceremony at the site of the Brick Manor Retreat. But Kelsey's instincts are good as she continues to sense that Jason is not being truthful to her.

My favorite character was Olan Bellamy, the suave and debonair host of the Brick Manor. Olan witnessed the "dark side" of Jason, which was also the realization of Reece, the kind yoga teacher, who brought out the worst in "Jealous Jason" during a yoga session. Later, Reece was slipped a roofie in his smoothie that led to a case of "food poisoning."

A rich dessert called "Chocolate Insanity" is a delicacy enjoyed by Kelsey at the Brick Manor Retreat. But an even greater dose of insanity is inflicted on Kelsey by the wacko Jason. There are moments where he oozes the charm. But they quickly evaporate into his true obsessive nature. Only the quick-thinking Kelsey will get to the bottom of things as her memory gradually returns at the beautiful Brick Manor Retreat.

Very good movie with a Lifetime twist!

[Chartreuse1 · 8/10 · 23 November 2019]

Lifetime movie star Karissa Lee Staples is the victim again. This time it's an accident where we she wakes up and doesn't remember her husband played by Matt Cohen. What happens after that is quite convincing but she begins to suspect something's off as she has flashes of memory. Is this guy really her husband? Tune in to find out! Staples and Cohen are quite good in this one.
