Reality of Love

One of the best made for TV movies out there.
Most of the time, made for TV movies seem to be just that, made for TV and TV only. But this one is different. It isn't just like all the other TV movies out there. This movie can be compared to the made for TV movie "Lucky Seven" in quality.

"I Want to Marry Ryan Banks" tells the story of a down and out actor who's last hope is to, with the help of his best friend and agent, make it to the big times once again. His friend sets up a reality TV show similar to "The Bachelor" in order to boost his career.

While it seems that Ryan is a big hit with all the ladies on the show, it is only because his friend and agent, Todd, is feeding him lines through an earpiece. One by one the number of girls dwindle and the favorite, Charlie, has fallen in love with Todd in a romance that started the minute he interviewed her for the show.

This is a really great romantic comedy and Bradley Cooper steals the show, as Todd. Or at least I think so. I haven't actually seen...

A romantic gem!
This was previously aired on ABC Family under the title "Who Wants to Marry Ryan Banks?". But don't be deterred by the fact that this was a made-for-TV movie. It's a fantastic romantic comedy, one of my absolute favorites. Granted, it's a bit hard to buy Jason Priestly as a highly sought after bachelor, but it really doesn't matter because half the point is laughing at how absurd it is thinking he'll magically find love in a staged reality program. Bradley Cooper and Emma Caulfield are absolutely adorable- the chemistry between them is amazing. You'll melt from the cuteness if you're a romance fan. I honestly can't believe they didn't release this on DVD sooner, as the fans have been screaming for it. I literally squealed with delight when I saw that they are finally releasing it.

Pure Awesome
This movie is pure gold. Soooo good. Keeping my fingers crossed it will become available in the States.
