My Best Friend's Bouquet

Unfortunately got bored early on,but stuck it out! Seen the lead in other things,haven't been too impressed. Didn't have much Autumn feel,more like Summer-wedding season.

Plus! Enjoyed seeing other actors in this,versus typical choices.

This movie didn't make my list,of ones to remember for watching again. Before deciding based on my review,see it & judge yourself.

The story was OK but the female lead was so subdued, she came off as over medicated, no energy or emotion. The issue was highlighted by the good job the rest of the cast did. Prepare to be lulled

One of those lovely Hallmark films that sneak up on you and suck you in with its charm and humour.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film, I thought it was well played and had some lovely moments.

1st get a phonecall meeting for Friday, best male friend they meeting on Sunday. On Friday ask her out for Sat, the next day. Then show her and male friend on Sunday where she says he asked her out.

Josie is charming and annoying at the same time as a hopeless romantic. I think Chaley Rose was a great choice for her. There were a couple times I thought that if they used the line about "The bouquet knows" one more time I would scream. They did and I didn't. I loved Josie when she epitomized what's good about being an optimistic romantic. Obviously, part of the plot was that she sometimes went overboard. But even so, I think she makes an implicit case that more of us should appreciate a little more romance in the world.

The lore of the bouquet gives a slightly different take to what comes down to a few of the well used plot devices like the best friends who don't realize they are really in love, or one of the leads has a job offer far away.

Athena's mother-in-law (to be) is a nice variation on the controlling m-i-l . Usually this stereotype starts out overbearing and blindly self-centered but suddenly changes to sweet and loving. In this case we can see almost from the beginning that she isn't exactly sure of herself either, but she's trying.

Note to Directors - Please make phone text messages large enough for people of all ages to be able to read. In this movie, they were almost large enough, but the worst problem was coming out of the last commercial, the G rating symbol covered a large part of a key text.
