Save the Wedding

For all you saying omg hallmarks lost their mind and has gone bad, this is NOT hallmark! This is showing on Hallmark in August 2021 as an acquired movie that was made by another company that is NOT Hallmark! Get your facts together before you automatically assume its Hallmark. Gee whiz. Everyone just automatically assumes what they think is right.

Immature bride and arrogant maid of honor...not a good mix. Just awful!

This movie was so boring and no chemistry. Turned it off after 30 minutes:

Blame this on Jake Helgren - he wrote and directed this film. It is the "Plan 9 from Outer Space" of Hallmark movies and Helgren is its Ed Wood.

Almost every scene involves characters who stand in one spot, unmoving, with their arms pressed against their sides as they talk. The result is a movie that doesn't "move;" which contributes to the coma that the viewers slip into. It is terrible DIRECTING. Incredibly amateurish.

And Helgren's screenplay? The bride is a shallow neurotic fragile woman who is unlikable and whom no man would want to be married to. The romantic leads (Best Man and Maid of Honor) have no chemistry, and even worse, have no personality. Their dialogue simply moves the story forward but is boring to listen to. The change of heart by the bride, which saves the wedding, is based on a stupid idea and simply lacks any authenticity or believability.

This movie didn't deliver either of the two essential virtues of a Hallmark film -it had characters that we didn't care about and there was no sense of "fun" as the film progressed through its predictable plot. I don't recall a single scene that had any emotional power - no joy, no sense of romance or happiness or anything.

I gave it 2 stars because the scenes were well lit.

This movie is a bad attempt. While watching I wondered if the actors and crew knew what a disaster they were creating. It seemed like an amateur project with actors who are still in training. We learn from our mistakes and the actors and staff have a lot to learn.
