Actors Sam Myerson and Nicole Mattox stars in the new vertical drama “Oops, I Married My Bestie’s Brother!” on FlareFlow. #Powerjournalist Markos Papadatos.
On her 30th birthday, Elle (Nicole Mattox) flees to Vegas for a blind date with her best friend Kennedy’s famous musician brother Pierce—only to accidentally marry a wealthy stranger named Mr. C (played by Sam Myerson).
Back home, as Elle tries to piece together the wild night, she moves into the Chamberlain Estate guesthouse, and almost instantly runs into: Oliver, Pierce Chamberlain’s manager – and clearly disliked by Kennedy. Elle realizes: this is the man she married in Vegas last night! As these two opposing personalities navigate how to live with one another, more secrets unravel, namely that Oliver isn’t JUST the manager of Pierce Chamberlain…he’s the OTHER Chamberlain brother, aka Kennedy’s brother too. He has harbored a crush on Elle for months after meeting her at a photoshoot.
Nicole Mattox is effervescent as Elle, while Sam Myerson is charming as Mr. C/Oliver; moreover, his affecting rapport with Elle allows for more resonance. This vertical drama is a breath of fresh air! There is no violence, no bullying, no evil/toxic characters, and no females getting battered or abused (contrary to many other verticals out there). It is clever, witty, and the feel-good escapism we all need, and most importantly, the pacing is solid (where it doesn’t feel rushed).
More verticals ought to follow or adapt this formula because it works, and it makes it far more enjoyable for the audience. It stands out due to its originality, story development, and authenticity. “Oops, I Married My Bestie’s Brother!” on FlareFlow is a definitely keeper, and it garners two thumbs up. Well done!
