"Unforgettable" not worth paying money to see

When Love Ends, Madness Begins...

A woman dealing with her soon-to-be role as a wife and stepmother after a troubled past is confronted by her fiancé’s ex-wife. As the ex-wife’s jealousy takes a pathological turn it becomes clear that the only way to end the nightmare is for someone to be removed from the equation.

Julia Banks is the fiancée of David trying to move on from a troubled past relationship with her new life with him and his daughter but his ex-wife does not want to be out of the picture. David Connover is the fiancé of Julia, the father of Lily and the ex-husband of Tessa who is trying to figure out why there is so much tension in his household as it becomes a war zone. Lily Connover is dealing with the break up of her mother and father and the introduction of her stepmother into her life as her grandmother continues to make her presence felt. Tessa Manning Connover is a woman unable to deal with the dissolution of her marriage and will stop at nothing to destroy the happiness of her ex-husband’s new wife-to-be at any cost.

Unforgettable is a movie that never had any potential of rising above the overdone domestic thriller clichés we have come to expect. From the marketing to to the execution there is nothing that is original or worth praising about this flick that never tries to rise above its genre regurgitation. The cast in this movie is better than the material they are forced to perform in every way shape and form, from the muddled beginning to the eye roll & disillusioned groan inducing end. I feel sorry that this is Denise Di Novi’s debut film, but at least she can feel good that anything she directs after this can only be an improvement. This was originally going to be a film directed by Amma Asante with Kate Hudson and Kerry Washington as the stars, but I don’t see how this would have been anything but a Lifetime movie with a better production value.

I rate this movie a rating of 1/2 out of 5.
