Love, Marriage, & Other Bad Ideas

About This Movie

So, 'Love, Marriage, & Other Bad Ideas' is one of those quirky little romances that doesn't quite find its footing but has a certain charm. The pacing meanders a bit, reflecting the protagonist's own journey through doubt and rediscovery. There's a nice contrast between the chaos of Dr. Paul's professional life and the warmth that April brings into it. The performances are solid, with a palpable chemistry that feels genuine, albeit sometimes overshadowed by the script's unevenness. It explores themes of love's complexities and the often messy reality of relationships, making it relatable, if not groundbreaking. You’ll appreciate its attempts at practical effects, even if they don't always hit the mark.

This film has had a somewhat limited release, making it a bit of a hidden gem among collectors. While not widely available on physical media, its few appearances on DVD and streaming have sparked interest among those who appreciate indie romances. The scarcity of decent copies in good condition adds to its allure, especially for fans of the genre looking to fill out their collections.
