Unthinkably Good Things

I really loved this movie. The women had wonderful chemistry and truly brought us into their stories. I loved following each woman's journey. It is charming, peaceful, clever, beautiful, and I want more from them. It reminds me of all the good sisterhood-type movies and shows, with complex and developed characters, subtle and clever jokes, and the hope that each woman makes the choices that will bring out their best and happiest futures. We know these women. I love and appreciate that Hallmark has created the Mahogany sector, and I'm looking forward to the richness the movies will bring to the channel.

I really hope they make a series of movies. It was funny and charming and of course it had Lance in it so add extra stars for that! I would love to see what happens next for all of the characters in the movie. The setting was Italy and that made it even more enjoyable to watch. I wouldn't listen to the haters, my only wish is that it were a 4 part series like they do other Hallmark movies. About 4 movies a year would be nice. I don't think I would tire of seeing Lance Gross and Luca Seta. Teri Vaughn did a great job setting things up for a series of films. We can only hope there's more stories to tell.

Okay, it's not Oscar material. But it's better than your average Hallmark movie. Literally every scene is gorgeous. The fashion is gorgeous, the ladies are gorgeous, the men are gorgeous. There is lots of delicious looking food and wine. There's a truffle hunt! And cheese! I smiled through the whole thing. Loved Karen Pittman's pink dress at the end. If you like Sex And The City, this is for you. If you hate Sex And The City, you probably wanna skip this. Speaking of SATC, Karen Pittman plays Dr. Nya in the reboot. Don't listen to the haters. Grab some wine and settle in for some nice escapism. Enjoy!

So - I've reviewed this a couple of times - and my review never gets posted.

I wanted to like this movie. The concept seemed fun. All about friendship - longterm friendships. Trusting each other. Having fun together ... sounds fun!

Well - in some respects it was. The friendships were genuine. The problems friends have were real. The resolutions - a little farfetched ... but acceptable.

I felt there was WAY too much stuff going on. Trying to follow what was going on with each was confusing. (The Wedding Veil trilogy did it better - focusing on one friend at a time - but still playing on the friendships.) I was having trouble following what each of the women were involved doing and if/how it affected the other friends.

Also - seemed more suited to BET than Hallmark. Just my opinion ...

I really enjoyed this movie. It had a warm feel about life and the importance of having good friends (girlfriend) in your life to support you through life's trials and tribulations. It touch on infertility issues, cancer illness, relationship ups and down and new career starts as well as exploring life in a new country. Great acting and story line and the Jill Scott song, Golden, was the perfect song for this movie.

I especially enjoyed and appreciated that the women were professional women already established in life but each going through different things. It was a down to earth, real life movie. 👍
