Honeymoon for One

If you've read my reviews, you've seen that one of my first lines of criticism for this type of Rom/com is overused cliché plot devices. This movie may have a couple (OK the leads start off with the obligatory antagonism), but I didn't notice because many of the plot devices are different, even unique. I can't think of a honeymoon-for-one story. There are some interesting developments later in the movie also. The story kept moving just enough to hold me.

I'm not a fan of Nicollette Sheridan, and her character early on was such I had doubts I was going to like Eve at any point. But of course, at some point the arrogant rich boss persona softened. Her meeting Kathleen, Katie Bannon (interesting that IMDb has no information on her other than this movie), was a good start, and their relationship did a lot for the movie. I'm guessing that her accent isn't fake and she certainly is a charming representation of an Irish pre-teen.

Did Sheridan and Greg Wise have chemistry? I really didn't see much.

There were a few laughs here and there, many of which inspired by Eve's clumsiness.

The music was slightly distracting, but I didn't have trouble hearing conversation. The music doesn't affect my rating.

I watched this movie just because of Nicollette Sheridan and I must admit... I really didn't get this one at all. What kind of thin story was that? I can't understand why these movies are actually shot. Who really wants to watch such a boring movie. The plot / script is so forgettable and they even want to try to be funny but it's more embarrassing. The musical score is as sleepy as the whole "Honeymoon for One". Why Nicollette even took this role I will never understand. It won't certainly be a career pusher. And I wonder... who and where is the audience who enjoys watching this? A nice scenery doesn't make an addition enough to spice up anything. A total waste of time and money which was used for this production

The play was delightful but because of that loud music background while the couple was talking I could NOT make out what they were saying! Why oh why do you do that because music is superfluous and extremely annoying. And totally unnecessary. Friends of mine have also complained about this practice also. The scenery was beautiful and the little girl is an excellent actress. I was disappointed in the leading lady's hairdo. I can't imagine a high-powered executive with such a messy coiffure. The actor who played Greg fit a weak sneaky fiancé' perfectly. Oce again don't ever play background music behind conversations!

I was disappointed with this movie. The storyline was a typical love story formula, but I expected that so that was okay. What I did not care for was Nicollette Sheridan's acting ability, or lack of ability. She had no depth and displayed but two moods, mad and happy. She was unable to portray deeper feelings which led me to not empathizing with her character. Considering Greg Wise can endear himself with a raise of an eyebrow, I sat there wondering "why did they match up these two actors?" At the same time, I held out hope that it could be salvaged with a spark igniting between them. But, here was the real disappointment: the two actors lacked chemistry between each other...and in a love story, the right chemistry is crucial in making the formula work.

I absolutely loved, loved, loved this movie!!!!! The characters were so sweet and great for each other, and were such naturals, you couldn't help but love them both!!!!!! . This warm hearted, land loving man from Ireland ends up sweeping Eve Parker off her feet and as they are beginning to fall in love, her ex-fiancé shows up in Ireland to try to win her back, to no avail. Her heart is won over by this chivalrous fun-loving man who wants to save the land. He was great, she was great; his heart was big,subtle, and she couldn't help but falling in love with him. I loved the theme, the scenery was great,it was fun loving, romantic, and funny. Both their roles were funny at times; these two characters just became so good for each other with big hearts and that sweet something special! They were absolutely, definitely my favorite characters on Hallmark, it had a lot of spunk!!! I would so love to see them together in another good movie!
