Movie Review: Bride For Rent

The bare bones of the film were fairly familiar, but Bride For Rent was a surprisingly delightful film that worked every step of the way. From slapstick one liners to some really terrific physical comedy, the cast was incredibly well put together. Kim Chiu, in particular, was fantastic! She was funny, endearing, and knocked out some decent acting. Xian Lim didn't fare as well, but there's a certain charm to him that was undeniable and his gradual change was quite believable. The script was bright and breezy with some hysterical moments, it had decent motivations for the characters, and sufficient sentiment without being too schmaltzy. Bride For Rent was hardly a masterpiece and it's not going to blow your mind, but it did what it sets out to accomplish. 7
