Romantische Neufassung

I enjoyed this movie. Tangled web with funny outcomes as the plot unfolds. Top cast did a fabulous job acting out the story. Family members and friends depicted well, as I could relate to the ignorant comments and bad choices family make. The unfolding of what writers go through to produce a product was also well-developed in this movie. Only familiar with Kristina Cole and was not familiar with the other cast members. Thought they did a good job bringing this story to life. The setting was ok. I am tired of beach movies so that was a negative for me. Costumes and makeup are top notch..Kuddos to the artists and creative team.

If you're into reading lips and/or closed captioning, go for it. Otherwise it's difficult to comprehend what's being said. And it's across the board - every member of the cast. All of them acted as if they were afraid to be on screen and just wanted to spit their words out and get off camera. Almost like watching a movie in a different language - or one from a junior high school stage. That, coupled with truly dreadful sound quality, made this a much harder watch than expected.

Then there's the cast and characters. The lead's sister and the bride were both majorly annoying characters. Who wrote this stuff? Guess I expected that if GAC is planning to rival Hallmark, they'd at least try to find a better product than this. Choppy. Choppy. Choppy. From beginning to end.

Great scenery - thanks for filming in the U. S. In this case it just couldn't redeem the overall experience.

Definitely recommend, it was funny, well written. The cast was new to me, but want to watch more of them. It was beautifully filmed on location. It shows people recognizing their mistakes and apologizing, which's a rare occurrence in this day and age. It involves family members sharing and caring for each other, giving each other constructive support and encouragement, as it should be. I would watch anything from director and cast. Movie is not like the violent, horror language coming out of the Hollywood elite studios today. Wholesome and family friendly, will watch again with my children. Loved it. 10 out of 10.

I give this movie an eight for the concept, but a four for the execution, and I'll tell you why in a minute.

First, we liked the actors and thought the leads did a good job. The overall story idea was clever, and as an author, I particularly like movie ideas which include writers. And yes, sometimes an editor can help an author identify issues in their plotting and seriously improve a manuscript.

Here's the other side. Last year I wrote a murder mystery, and over the last two years I've been writing a series of RomComs, so I've kind of got my elbows down in that type of work. They say the guy handles his romance relationship all wrong, and the editor is going to help him improve that. Fine. What they missed were any DETAILS to make that trope more real to the viewer.

In the far superior Trading Christmas, a woman helps a male author with the relationship in his manuscript and what's wrong with his female character, and they at least talk about it enough to understand where the author was going wrong and how to fix it.

None of that here, I'm afraid.

I really, really wanted to like this. The storyline was decent, but that's where it ends. The acting was B level at best, direction was hardly evident at all, and the editing and sound was atrocious. I think the only reason I watched it through to the end was because I had recorded it on the DVR. Otherwise, I'm fairly certain I would've changed the channel. I don't know where the production company came from or any of that other stuff that have been mentioned and other reviews, but I know what I like and what I don't like. This one is definitely in the don't like Section. Save yourself two hours of your life and watch something else.
