Quotes from Actors

"Matt (Czuchry) was wonderful to work with. We just sort of had this instant chemistry, and that is such a blessing for an actor, I have to say." ~ Patricia Wettig.

"I could not say enough good things about that man. He is an incredibly kind and good person and he’s hilarious. We had so much fun. I actually didn’t even meet Matt until it was about 5 in the morning and we both met standing in line for our plane. I hadn’t even met him until we were on our way to Calgary! From then, between Matt and Jeff Hephner (who plays Hiram) and myself, we were instantly buddies and we were constantly going out and hanging out. There wasn’t much time for that because we worked a whole heck of a lot but that chemistry was pretty instant between all of us and it was very real so that worked out well." - Chyler Leigh about Matt.

tftnt!

there was one bad review I read yesterday let me find very fast

Quote:

What unravels is pure Lifetime made-for-TV movie fodder — a woman trapped in unbearable circumstances who by the end gathers the strength to fight her way out.

That’s a fine message, but the movie unspools with such trashy spirit, it’s hard to take it all seriously.

Between "Big Love" and the upcoming unscripted series "Sister Wives," polygamy is fast becoming the dysfunctional family flavor of the month. Add to that "The 19th Wife," a Lifetime movie about a polygamous sect, set against the backdrop of a murder mystery. Based on David Ebershoff's novel, the movie makes for an awfully thin gruel, even with a parallel structure that flashes from the present back to a 19th-century woman, Ann Eliza, promised to Brigham Young. Then again, faithful Lifetime movie-watchers have experienced greater hardships than this.
Like the book, the movie alternates between the fallout from a present-day murder and the past, with the showier names reserved for the former.

Queenie Alton ("Grey's Anatomy's" Chyler Leigh) lives among the polygamous group, but doesn't believe that one of the true believers, BeckyLyn (Patricia Wettig), killed her husband. So she joins with BeckyLyn's excommunicated son, Jordan ("The Good Wife's" Matt Czuchry), in seeking to exonerate her, even if that means inviting the wrath of the Prophet (Patrick Garrow), who rules over them.

The parallel arc, meanwhile, focuses on Ann Eliza (Lara Jean Chorostecki) and her own struggles as the latest addition to Young's well-populated harem (hence the title). As structured, though, by Richard Friedenberg's adaptation and normally reliable director Rod Holcomb, the movie feels painfully flat, failing to stir much interest in either century.

Nor does it help that virtually every theme or beat has been dealt with in "Big Love," whose central character was expelled from a polygamous compound, as Jordan was; and whose lecherous old coots terrorize their fertile young spouses.

Other than the opportunity to see Leigh in unflattering outfits, in fact, there's precious little to hold an audience's attention -- and not much in the way of suspense. Mostly, it's Czuchry's show, and given the bifurcated format, there's simply not enough meat to his character.

The most intriguing part actually waits until the closing crawl, providing additional information on Ann Eliza's post-movie fate. Unfortunately, that sounds like the basis for a more engaging project than the one we just finished watching.

not a good review either

Such a shame...

Then again they compare it to big Love which you probably shouldn't if you say everything was dealt with on that show.. Not everyone watched that show..
plus you don't compare every movie with every tv show there is..

Full Throttle · 09-10-2010, 05:39 AM

I'm not bothered by the reviews. They are what they are.

that's true

in the end all that matters is our own opinion.

Full Throttle · 09-10-2010, 06:01 AM

There are so many movies and tv shows that if I listened to reviewers would never have watched.
