Bria Lou Reviews

  Following the events of the first film, after a crazy night in Vegas, Abby (Virginia Gardner) and Travis (Dylan Sprouse) wake up to find that they're married. As the day gets crazier and crazier, the couple have to decide if they're really meant to be together, or if their marriage is just another disaster.

But as Abby is forced to spend more time in Travis's presence, she begins to see that there is more to him than meets the eye. I'm so surprised that I'm giving this a positive review, but I actually liked this movie! It starts off as a group of cliches, which was expected. The film tried to force the hate-to-love trope when the characters clearly didn't dislike each other, and had no reason to. I found Abby to be a really annoying, unlikeable character. This changed as the film went on, and I definitely warmed to her, but I didn't like her in the beginning at all. The writing wasn't great -  it felt really unrealistic at some points. But everything...
