L'Île aux mariages

This Hallmark romance concerns a music producer who travels to an island community where his sister is to be married. As in many Hallmark films, the meet cute is a reunion of exes. Jake (Scott Micheal Foster) finds that the wedding photographer is Maggie (Laura Osnes), a former girlfriend and musical partner.

This film features plenty of music--incidental and otherwise---including the wonderful voice of Osnes. She also has a strong filmic presence, so I am not sure why this film does not make more impact. The central couple has adequate chemistry. And the settings are beautiful.

Perhaps the script relies too much on the mechanics of wedding preparations, losing its "magic" among the details. But even if it could have been more, it's an enjoyable diversion.

I thought this movie was decent and I was glad to see diversity that reflects the real world. I've noticed that movies that have people of color for hallmark they tend to get low reviews. Just something I've noticed.

Why do they hire these actresses with squeaky annoying voices! The lead isn't to awful but all the women around her (except the bride) are terrible sounding. Absolutely makes the movie unenjoyable and unwatchable. I'm doing some of my crafting and this is playing in the background I really do not care what happens It's just noise!

Scott Michael Foster is the worst option for Jake role. But she saves the film. And the high predactibility of story. Another good point - the music, Coleen Winton and, maybe, the flowers. Sure, it is unfair to be too critic about it but , obvious, it could be better, using the old cliche of the wedding of the sister of ex in the political correctness note but giving something more attractive. But, maybe, it is enough.

Great movie with some great music. Wish there had been for music. Watched it numerous times . I'm sure I'll watch it more if it comes back
